+2 for the cinema.
Did they show Empire at the cinemas for the 40th anniversary in the end with Covid going on?
It would be fantastic to see this on the big screen again:
but I would reluctantly settle for watching one of the later “Special Edition” versions at the cinema if that was our only choice.
ESB had a drive-in run in 2020, IIRC. It was the new 2019 Special Editions.
In my country they showed it for several weeks during summer since no new movies were coming in. And it was only the 2011 SE. It was like watching a Youtube video on a top3 biggest screens here.
