I am back, a break from my line waiting, while my friend takes over and allows me a little break and much needed sleep. But I thought I'd share with you guys first.
So far, these showings are sold out (and this is already more impressive than TPM at this point, where actually at my theater only the midnight ones were sold out, everything else was simply very full until the day of, and at that point I do believe they all sold out easily... but this time, it's the day before).
SOLD OUT:
THURSDAY:
12:01 a.m., 10 a.m., 1:10 p.m., 4:20 p.m., and 7:30 p.m.
Perhaps more amazingly...
FRIDAY:
10 a.m., 1:10 p.m. SOLD OUT.
The tickets are selling extremely quickly, I would know I was in line the entire time with nothing better to do than watch, and before the box office opened there was a rather large line forming, but then it's been just constant traffic with a small line of 3 to 5 people almost constantly crowding the ticket window that is open. I'm thinking by the end of today, good luck with getting into ANY showing of AOTC on opening day.
It has as many screens as Spider-Man, but way more showings because of the added 10 a.m. showing, 11 a.m. showing, and the two midnight screenings.
Oddly enough, the 12:02 a.m. showing (yes we have one) is NOT sold out and has 100+ tickets left. It's selling fast, but see my theater never informed people of this, so you had to ask specifically, which is great for the die-hards because we all had an easy time. But many people with kids don't want to go to the midnight showings because it's too darn late for them.
The line has been GREAT so far, I have documentary footage from every hour, on the hour. A bit cold at night, but we are....
FIRST IN LINE FOR STAR WARS: EPISODE II -- ATTACK OF THE CLONES!!!
How cool is that?! FIRST in line. :)
