and it was already sold out for the Thursday premiere. I see a lot of movies and I have never seen this happen. The movie does not come out for 2 months. This movie will make all of the money, apparently.

This movie will make all of the money, apparently. It's no shock. TFA was received better in the mainstream than any movie in the franchise since ANH. Despite groans on this board about the high level of mystery and open-ended nature of TFA, that's part of what is going to drive huge sales for TLJ. Everybody loves a mystery. What is there now? Two thousand Snoke Theory videos on youtube?

Its crazy. A few hours after the trailer came out I went online to buy my ticket and not only was the Thursday premiere pretty much sold out, but the almost the entire week is completely booked. I was lucky to get good seats at a 2:40 showing on Friday.

Where do you live? Do you not have very many movie theaters around? That might be the reason.

Granted, I only checked at the one, which is a really nice IMAX theater. That is where I want to go. I got a ticket for 0900 on 12/15/2017 now instead.

Last Jedi realistically will not make the money TFA made, it has not the hype-event character of "New StarWars is Back, we must all see it and tell our grandchildren". Also, the second installments, Empire, Clones, all experienced a significant turnover ebb (relatively speaking).
But TLJ should artistically be the better more inspired film and hopefully not experience a post-release backlash in the mainstream like TFA did with serious media like Bloomberg discussing the bad writing (mostly Mary Sue/fanfic character writing), filmmakers and shows like SouthPark or Cameron bitching, not to forget You-Tube and online forums burning.
I hope this has more quality and will be less divisive, like RO, which paved the way to a new hope.
