The latest installment in the Star Wars universe officially hits theaters on Friday, December 16th. But really it hits theaters the night before. That's how movies work sometimes! Who knows why they do this. (Hype.) But the first night of a Star Wars movie hitting theaters is something to behold—remember when it happened last year? Good times. Remember when it happened in the '70s? Even better times. Remember those first lines from the 1980s? Wow. Surely the huge fanbase in any given city is larger than seats availalbe, right? Apparently not anymore.
"Wait, there are still opening night Rogue One tickets available?" My colleague Nell Casey was surprised this morning to find out that yes, there are. She bought tickets for SATURDAY, like a sucker. (Now is a good time to remind you to STFU during these screenings.)
As of right now, here's where you can still see Rogue One FIRST:
- iPic has seats left for their 10:45 and 11:15 screenings (tickets here)
- The Alamo Drafthouse has seats left for their 11:30 p.m., midnight, and 12:15 a.m. screenings (tickets here, and you can pay extra for a special pint glass you get to keep)
- Cobble Hill Cinemas has tickets for 7, 7:30, 8, 10:15, 10:40, and 11:10 p.m. (get tickets here)
- This list could go on forever, so please check your local theater here and, as of right now, you'll probably find a ticket for opening night
And on that Friday, remember to send us your hot takes.
