Fans flock to see new Star Wars installment
Disney acquired Lucasfilm a few years ago, which left Star Wars fans a bit anxious. “We had a group of 7, and a lot more that wanted to come with us but i ordered 7”, Ryan Stuthers said.
“I wanted to get a good seat”. Muto, however, wore a Darth Vader cap and a Stormtrooper T-shirt, had Star Wars-themed tattoos and added he has “two closets that are full of stuff”.
“If you see something that just doesn’t fit right, it may be something small, it may be something that you think is trivial, let us know about it, because that might be the missing piece of the puzzle that we’re looking for”, said Manale.
“I’ve always just really loved Star Wars“. The first movie was released in 1977.
Many movie theaters welcomed those who had dressed up. I saw it here in Terre Haute, the very first showing.
Brothers Stephen and Alexander Dick from Paisley said they had grown up watching Star Wars and had to be among the first in line to see it.
At the Wehrenberg O’Fallon 15 Cine, staff started the night with plans to show the film on seven screens.
Regal Town Center Stadium 16 in Kennesaw had all but tonight’s latest showings sold out for the 2D version of the film, though many of tonight’s 3D screenings still had tickets available.
O’Fallon police planned to have an officer on site at the theater, but Lt. James Cavins said the Star Wars film didn’t prompt the police presence. Rival studio executives predict a debut above $200 million, likely surpassing this summer’s record $208.8 million domestic debut of “Jurassic World”. Some people are already lining up now at theaters across the country.
“You want it to be about a whole bunch of 40 year old guys having fun, kids having fun and that cross generational connection” he said.
