Star Wars: The Force Awakens - New Trailer, Tickets, Marathon Screenings

Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in theaters Friday, Dec. 18. The film’s producers made several big announcements Sunday.

• There’s a new promotional poster (above),
• A new trailer will premiere during Monday Night Football on ESPN,
• Tickets go on sale Monday, and
• Marathon screenings of all seven films will run in select theaters, including Cinemark Tinseltown 20 in Pflugerville!

Billed as “the ultimate fan experience,” the marathon Dec. 17 will include all seven movies. The first six films will be screened in 2D, before the opening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 3D. Guests will also receive a lanyard featuring exclusive movie marathon art.

Cinemark Tinseltown 20 is located at 15436 FM 1825.

Regal Cinemas will also have a Force Awakens exclusive offer. Each Saturday, from Dec. 19 to Jan. 9, the first 500 guests for Star Wars: The Force Awakens in IMAX at Regal locations will receive a collectable ticket featuring unique Star Wars: The Force Awakens art.

Regal Cinemas has an IMAX location near North Austin at 9700 Stonelake Blvd.

On Fandango, Star Wars: The Force Awakens ticket buyers will be automatically entered into a sweepstakes for the chance to win a trip to the film’s world premiere. Moviegoers who purchase tickets within the first 24 hours can increase their chances to win. Ten runners-up can win a collectible “Dark Side” or “Light Side” prize pack.
