Projector Stops Working, Skips Ahead During Star Wars Premier
That said, it’s safe to assume that a big majority of those who have seen the latest installment of the Star Wars saga have had a positive experience by the time they walked out of the theater. Although it only shows a few seconds of footage from the film, FOX 13 has elected not to embed the video to avoid even the smallest of inadvertent spoilers.
“Projector at Star Wars midnight 3D show at the Arclight ruined, stopped, then started again towards the end of the movie”.
It may be setting records at the box-office, but for at least one Southland audience, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” was nearly a disaster.
The film then restarted 15 or 20 minutes ahead from where it stopped.
Most people thought they were about to see the ending of the movie without preceding plot developments, Melendez said. Some people within the audiences yelled “No no no!” time and again.
The movie theater gave customers their money back and a voucher for a free movie in the future.
Many were part of a Star Wars Club, which meets regularly to talk about the Jedi, Sith, and the dark side.
The film flew past the opening weekend record held by Universal’s “Jurassic World”, which made $208.8 million on the weekend it opened in June.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is now making a killing on the review front.
It was opening night horror in a Hollywood theater.
