Mainly cause for extra $15 you get Star Wars beer stein and magazine celebrating 40 years of Star Wars HOORAY! And the from what I see the first showing at the IMAX here in Phoenix IS sold out. the 1030 not yet. I'm still working on trying to get IMAX tickets....but the Edwards theater works with Fandango and that fucking site is still acting up for me. GOT MY IMAX TICKET FINALLY!  I had to get it for the sunday 1pm showing though. but i got to pick my seat and it's PERFECT! Middle row, center seat.

Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens Sellout/Crowd Report Thread Some do. Most don't, in America. A lot in Cali do, I've noticed. And a few in AZ I've seen, usually the ones that sell dinner.

Many L.A. theaters do. Saves a lot of hassle of having to get there early and line up for a decent spot. Also, the El Capitan (which has a capacity of 1,100) sold out the 1 a.m. marathon, as well as the 10:30 p.m. Ep VII. AMC Burbank 16 has sold out one marathon and has another available. Tickets for these things are ridiculous -- I paid $50 at the El Capitan, while AMC charges $60.

Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens Sellout/Crowd Report Thread One 1 sellout at our Lie-Max in Louisville. Strangely, it's for 9:20pm and not the first showing at 7.

Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens Sellout/Crowd Report Thread ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Shatters Ticket Sales Records“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” has established a new record, bypassing “The Hunger Games” as to move the most tickets in its first day on sale, Fandango reports. It didn’t just surpass that picture, it shattered its benchmark, outselling “The Hunger Games” eight times over. http://variety.com/2015/film/news/star- ... 201621977/

And other "records" that have been broken, per Fandango, has not translated to BO success. I assume Hunger Games broke the all time OW record, then. _________________trixster wrote: shut the fuck up zwackerm, you're out of your fucking element trixster wrote: chippy is correct

Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens Sellout/Crowd Report Thread It came really bloody close, and it didn't have the benefit of 3D and IMAX surcharges.

Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens Sellout/Crowd Report Thread Sorry, I was looking at Catching Fire for some reason. Then 2 months later, Avengers blew it out of the water...
Weird, what comes shortly after Star Wars 7....

The theater chain AMC reports 10x bigger first day sales than their previous record holder...

Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens Sellout/Crowd Report Thread So It's grossed $6.5 million in IMAX tickets, while Deadline says Catching Fire, TDKR and Avengers had $1 million pre-sales but I don't know if those were first day numbers.

Right, but this "report" is taking all 4 days into account, do you think the HG report included the first four days? No. It did not. _________________trixster wrote: shut the fuck up zwackerm, you're out of your fucking element trixster wrote: chippy is correct
