Star Wars: The Force Awakens is joining Jurassic World in presenting its first trailer over Thanksgiving–but you’ll be paying cold hard cash to watch the first footage from the renewed Star Wars franchise. You’ll see the full Jurassic World trailer while watching football on NBC. The trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, however, will only be found in movie theaters.
So far, the only confirmation is nine theaters that are part of the Regal Cinema chain. Those are listed above, which means there might be some disappointed Star Wars fans out there. Probably not as disappointed as when they saw The Phantom Menace, though. And note that the screen grab above is from a Regal Cinemas page that (at the time of this posting) has been replaced by this image, and the promise of locations being listed soon…
So we’re thinking there might be new theaters getting added to the list. It would be too cruel to be making the list shorter.
There’s some other good news for stubborn Stars Wars fans. At least you won’t have to buy a ticket to a specific movie to see the new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens–at least, not at your local Regal location. The movie chain is playing the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer before every movie playing in the multiplex.
We guess that includes the IMAX screenings, so maybe the fans will want to go out of their way for that experience. Otherwise, at least you can get around to a movie you’ve been meaning to see while paying good money to see the trailer. Which we suppose that we’ll be doing also, but strictly in a professional capacity, since The Force Awakens is one of our Most Anticipated Movies of 2015. Also, Han Solo.
