‘Force Awakens’ satisfies fans, earns $14.1 million overseas
Action News was told by some moviegoers that fans that attempted to watch the film at United Artist Broadway Faire 10, in Northwest Fresno, were turned away when technical issues prevented the movie from being shown.
“It’s just coming to new perspective of film…end of decade beginning of new one”, said a fan.
The Force Awakens shattered its first record with advanced ticket sales, reportedly selling eight times as many tickets than the previous record holder, The Hunger Games, to the tune of million.
Anthony Nygren and Meg Thompson exchanged vows fit for a rebel fighter – in front of several hundred movie goers – “I promise to love you faithfully like Chewbacca to your Han Solo”.
MAYBE Star Wars creator George Lucas should have held out for more money.
Enthusiasts of the Star Wars saga, some of whom came dressed as their favourite characters, gathered at theatres in advance of the first screenings of The Force Awakens on Thursday evening.
“I can not wait. This is something I’ve been waiting for my entire life”.
This all comes after studio estimates showed that The Force Awakens exploded out of the box office at Thursday night previews, taking a record $57 million. We got our tickets back in October and I’ve just been bursting ever since. “We haven’t been able to keep them in stock”, Samantha Irons, of Costumes and Beyond, said.
“It’s nice to have some fresh blood, and when I first saw the Kylo Ren costume, I knew it was going to be the big sell so I made sure I had it ready for the premier night”.
For those who don’t want to ditch the Internet, Google Chrome has released a handy app that will block websites or articles that may contain Star Wars spoilers. “But now, it’s okay to be a geek, it’s actually a good thing, so I wear my fandom proudly”.
“I took off work to be here”, said a fan.
