The 88-Second Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer Will Be In These 30 Theaters
Update #3: Lucasfilm has announced the thirty locations (including the nine Regal Cinemas theaters) that will be showing the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer this weekend. Here's where you can get your first, brief look at 88-seconds of Episode VII.
LucasFilm says that the teaser will arrive in theaters worldwide in December.
Update #2: Don't worry if you aren't near one of the Regal Cinemas locations mentioned earlier. It seems that AMC theaters will have the trailer, too.
The cinema chain confirmed the news via its Twitter account today. It looks like Regal Cinemas accidentally pushed their announcement live early, and more information on national distribution will be coming soon.
Update #1: Star Wars: The Force Awakens director JJ Abrams has confirmed the first trailer for the film will be in theaters this weekend. Specific locations mentioned in the Regal Cinemas tweet have not yet been reiterated.
Abrams also let fans know how long this first glimpse will be in an image via the Star Wars Twitter account.
