December 15 in both France and Italy.

You know, TFA was originally scheduled for January 2016 in Italy: they say it was because theaters were more prone to screen Zalone's new film in December (apparently his last comedies were box-office or something). Star Wars fans complained to Disney, to the theaters and some to Zalone himself! :D In the end, Zalone's film's screening was delayed to January, and now we got TFA scheduled for December.

Leo Ortolani (Italian cartoonist) also made a special strip about it (rough translation...):

(ding dong!)

SOMEONE: Checco, would you mind?

ZALONE: Who is it this late?

ZALONE: Oy, what if I told you I got 35,486 emails just this evening? (Ah! Ah! Cool!)
