'Star Wars' fans wait at wrong theater

I heard the movie comes out in Belgium, France and a few other European countries 1 day before it comes out in the rest of the world

RE: "I heard the movie comes out in Belgium, France and a few other European countries 1 day before it comes out in the rest of the world" Sort of. Lucus tends to release his films all over the world at once, but because the time is different in different countries, it gets to be a bit earlier in some places. I love the people who spend a fortune to fly to Britain just to be in the "first showing". A few hours later and it would be showing in their country, but no, they cannot wait and spend thousands of dollars to see about 5 hours sooner.

So... if it does actually show there, their nasty asses will stink so bad after waiting in line for 7 weeks that no one will want to even be in the same theatre as them! Wouldn't their be some loitering ordinance to get the geeks off the sidewalk. Don't get me wrong. I love Star Wars (have the box set and all the prequels), but these are some fucking morons!!!

No really, the movie comes out on tuesday here while in most countries it comes out on wednesday...
Ah well, I probably wait to go see that movie when it's playing for 2 months or so.

Yes, I shall probably wait a couple of months too, because I hope to see it on the BFI Imax (Britain's largest screen), and they tend not to show films until a couple of months after first release.
