Panamanian Episode III Premiere Posted By Britany on April 20, 2005
Gilberto sends in news of the 'Revenge of the Sith' charity premiere in Panama:
The Abou Saad Shriners are hosting the premiere of EP III here in the Republic of Panama on the 17th of May. The tickets (which I believe have been sold out for almost a month) cost $25. The movie starts at 7:00 p.m. and will be shown in two relatively small Cinepolis theaters located at the Multi Plaza Mall.
Albert adds:
The official fan club of Panama "Jedi Council Panama" will be at the premiere with costumes, memorabilia and a scale replica of the Mustafar scene between Obi Wan and Anakin.
Update - from Albert (Jedi Council Panama):
The Cinepolis Theaters aren't that small (400 seats each) and there will be 3 (2 THX and 1 digital) theaters (not 2) for the Shriners premiere. Just a side note Cinepolis are the only theaters in Panama with THX.
There will be two showings of the premiere (7pm and 9pm) on all 3 theaters.
There are also another 2 premieres in other theaters in Panama. Both are for charity purposes:
1. At Cinemark hosted by the Rotary International Club to benefit Radio Claret (a church radio).
2. Fox premiere for the media and politicial figures in Panama (it's more like a special screening because they are not selling tickets) this one is at Extreme Planet.
Update 2 - from Julio (Jedi Council Panama):
The Shriners Premiere, (which my fan club is colaborating on) is not sold out yet... the tickets is still available in all Blockbusters tents in Panama City.
