My wife and I went to the SW midnight screening at Opry Mills Mall in Nashville. There were 11 showings going on, even one on the IMAX screen, all sold out.

We got there at 10, but had to stand in line halfway across the mall. The mall was closed, but full of people. There were security guards and even some police, but all the fans were on their best behavior. There were already thousands of fans, many dressed up, even one as Arthur Dent from Hitchhiker's!?!

The line eventually went all the way to the end of the mall and wrapped back; and this mall is at least a mile long! It didn't take long to get in, but the showings were 10 minutes late due to people filing in.
