As you've probably noticed, studios have begun allowing theaters to start their premiere shows at 7:00pm the night before for many event movies. In the story, I wrote the following: The Star Wars: The Force Awakens release date of Decem(in the US) doesn't necessarily mean that the first screenings will be at midnight the night before. Hit the jump to find out more about the possible Force Awakens 7pm screenings. However, another detail within my report has now been validated. That date still hasn't been officially confirmed by Disney, although Melbourne's IMAX theatre has since posted that tickets are expected to go on sale in late October. Take a look at this latest exclusive poster.Earlier this week, we posted a rumor about when the tickets to Star Wars: The Force Awakens would go on sale. Star Wars: Episode VIII is slated for release on May 26, 2017, with Star Wars Anthology: Han Solo Movie arriving on and Star Wars: Episode IX premiering sometime in 2019. Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be followed by the first spinoff, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, arriving on December 16, 2016. Abrams and Bryan Burk are producing with Tommy Harper and Jason D. Abrams is directing from a screenplay he co-wrote with Lawrence Kasdan and Michael Arndt. Or work together to defeat the dark side. They team up with a mysterious droid named BB-8. And Finn, a rogue Stormtrooper looking for something to fight for. Now it's time for a new generation of heroes. A dark new threat promises to destroy everything they've fought for. A long time ago a group of heroes banded together to save the galaxy from an Evil Empire. The Star Wars galaxy is a dangerous place. But if you don't have spring break plans yet, you might now! We're not sure when Disney and LucasFilm will announce the arrival date. Apple is offering Star Wars: The Force Awakens for pre-order, as is Amazon and other online retailers. There is even talk that we could be looking at a Star Wars Day release on May 4th. It's expected that we'll see the VOD as early as April, with the home video release hitting in May. An official release date has not been set, and it isn't known how long after the VOD release that Star Wars: The Force Awakens will come to Blu-ray and DVD. We also reported over the weekend that this long-anticipated sequel will be available to own on VOD this Spring. Hopefully we'll get a Luke Skywalker poster next week, as it enters it's third week of release. This was followed by a number of character posters that included Han, General Leia, Kylo Ren, Poe Dameron, BB-8, Rey and Finn. Instead, we got a much more traditional one-sheet which featured almost all of the major characters from this new film in the Star Wars saga, except for Luke Skywalker. It was given away to people who attended the event, but has not been used to promote the movie in theaters. Perhaps the coolest one came during the Disney D23 Expo and features exclusive new art from Drew Struzan.

There have been a number of posters released for Star Wars: The Force Awakens leading up to its release. Will Han Solo and Chewbacca get their own Dan Mumford poster? Or will it be Finn and Kylo Ren? We're not sure which posters will arrive next, but there are only two more to go. Each Sunday, from December 20 to January 10, guests who purchase a ticket to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens at AMC theaters will receive an AMC-exclusive Star Wars print from artist Dan Mumford with a new poster set to be revealed every week. Last Sunday saw the first poster in this series, which featured Rey and BB-8 walking into the Jakku sunset.ĪMC announced their "Star Wars Sundays" promotion way back in October. It features Poe Dameron standing on the wing of his ship as he watches his X-Wing squadron fly off to face the dreaded Starkiller base. And the one for this Holiday weekend is quite spectacular.

AMC is helping to entice returning costumers back to their IMAX 3D theaters with an exclusive new poster every Sunday. Star Wars: The Force Awakens is expected to have the second biggest weekend of all time, a record currently held onto by this past summer's Jurassic World.
