Regal Jumps The Gun, Announces The Force Awakens Trailer Plans Early

Posted by Eric on November 24, 2014 at 08:34 AM CST


The title of this story has been updated to reflect new information.

The Regal Entertainment Group announced on Monday morning that nine of its locations across the country will debut the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer over Thanksgiving weekend, November 28 through November 30.

The trailer will appear in front of every movie shown at these nine locations:

  • Irvine, CA: Edwards Irvine Spectrum 22 & IMAX
  • San Diego, CA: Edwards Mira Mesa Stadium 18 IMAX & RPX
  • Atlanta, GA: Regal Atlantic Station Stadium 18 IMAX & RPX
  • Chicago, IL: Regal City North Stadium 14 IMAX & RPX
  • New York, NY: Regal Union Square Stadium 14
  • Warrington, PA: Regal Warrington Crossing Stadium 22 & IMAX
  • Knoxville, TN: Regal Pinnacle Stadium 18 IMAX & RPX
  • Houston, TX: Edwards Houston Marq'E Stadium 23 IMAX & RPX
  • Seattle, WA: Regal Thornton Place Stadium 14 & IMAX
It would be very surprising if these nine theaters were the only place one could go over Thanksgiving weekend to see the trailer. It's possible that Regal jumped the gun here, and that other theater chains will announce similar deals in the next few hours. We'll keep you updated.

UPDATE: Regal's Facebook and Twitter posts announcing the deal have been deleted. The promotion page is still live. If it goes down, here is an archived version.

UPDATE #2: Regal's promotion page is now down. Regal, Disney, and Lucasfilm have not been responding to our requests for comment. At this point, it seems as if Regal jumped the gun. We can likely expect more details about other venues for the teaser trailer in the next few days.

UPDATE #3: Someone at Regal at least has a sense of humor:
