‘Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens’ new official trailer is out
Fandango experienced unprecedented demand for tickets as well. It expects enthusiasm for the film “to continue all the way to its debut”.
Many fans in the United Kingdom were left frustrated after a few cinema websites crashed and struggled to cope with the high demand when the tickets went on sale on October 19 at 8am.
Planning to see “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” on opening day (officially that’s December 18 but screenings begin the evening before)?
At Marcus Oakdale, for instance, as of Tuesday afternoon, only a handful of front-row seats were open for the first available show at 10:10 p.m. on the Ultra Screen DLX and in its Dream Lounger seats. AMC theaters are also selling tickets for 39 “Star Wars” marathon events, where they will be showing all seven films on December 17.
The final “Star Wars” trailer debuted during “Monday Night Football”‘s Giants vs. Eagles halftime, which subsequently forced the Internet to have a meltdown faster than when Kim Kardashian broke it.
“Movie theaters are continually adding new show times on Fandango to meet the phenomenal demand”, a Fandango company statement said. But its site too succumbed for a time, posting this message: “Web server is returning an unknown error”.
In the Britain., Odeon & UCI Cinemas Group said Monday online ticket sales for “Star Wars” set a record for the Britain chain and caused booking delays at its website.

The new trailer, simply titled, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer (Official)”, is roughly two and a half-minutes long. The chain is owned by Guy Hands’s Terra Firma Capital Partners Ltd., while Vue’s parent is Omers Private Equity. “Nevertheless, we were able to continuously serve ticket sales throughout the night”.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the seventh film in the sci-fi series, sold more than 200,000 pre-sale cinema tickets within the first 24 hours of release – more than any other film, including the new James Bond adventure Spectre.
