Nice to see it'll be in Houston. :-)  I might have a to catch a movie this weekend.  Just to be clear... Will it play starting Thanksgiving through Sunday?

Regal pulled all their ads on this.  I bet it will be shown in more theaters than was initially reported.

Of course, and not all 100 of the theaters will be Regal's. They only had nine of them listed before it got pulled, although probably a few more will be theirs.

I'm sure there will be a theater showing it here in the DC area. I haven't seen Big Hero 6 or Mockingjay pt. 1 yet, so I might go see one of those if the trailer is at a theater nearby.

I wonder if the teaser will be posted online as well... officially, I mean.

Didn't they do something similar with the first Phantom Menace trailer? And even that was uploaded to the internet?

Now we have youtube and smart phones that can record video at 1080p. We will all be seeing this trailer on Friday. I'm not sure what the logic is behind a limited release of a TRAILER to a handful of theatres like this in 2014.

Looks like the teaser will be 88 seconds and may feature a tie fighter and an explosion? ;-)

If they really keep a lid on this thing until the earliest screenings Friday morning it might make sense to just upload it right then.

The Jurassic World trailer is airing Thursday night and, I'm guessing, will be officially uploaded in order to avoid losing hits to people uploading it from their DVR's.

Unless Disney really truly doesn't care about what will surely be multiple people uploading cellphone recordings of the trailer starting Friday, they'll officially upload it as well. It kind of defies the point of only putting it in these 100 theaters if it's gonna be everywhere, though.

YES!!!  The theatre ten minutes away from my house is playing it, booking tickets for something now.

Wow, did it really leak already?  To watch or not to watch... is the quality decent?

Edit: Oh... I'm a fool. ;-)

Well I am very happy they've officially announced when and where the special screenings will be for TFA teaser. Was afraid we'd all have to guess-n-check.

On my way back from a Thanksgiving dinner, I will definitely stop by the Regal in Seattle and go see Interstellar (again), will be worth it! :)

I figured Tysons would be the theater for DC, it's probably the busiest one in the area. Technically it's in Virginia several miles from DC itself, but that just goes to show how Disney is thinking in terms of cities and not random locations.

It also makes sense to have it at a big mall location like that, since Disney is probably hoping to get a lot of the Black Friday crowd.

Have they specified when exactly the earliest showings with the trailer will be? I worked at the Lego store at Tysons off and on for several years (grew up just a couple miles from there) and had to work the Black Friday shift from midnight to 6 a.m. back in 2009. The mall is pretty busy from Thanksgiving night into the wee hours of the morning, but I don't know what kind of schedule the movie theater is on after 11 p.m. or so.

 Clicked the youtube link at the top of the page for some reason.

*sigh* I should have known it was going to be a rick roll. Fool me once...

Rick Rolling a mod is now a bannable offense. ;)

30 theatres in North America and the rest of the world can go **** themselves. Nothing out of the ordinary there ;-)
