I went on the first Friday and there were about 10 people there, I thought it was very low key, the audience was very quiet. I'd guess they were the more die-hard type Star Wars fans.
Just been again with my son to Liverpool 1, big screen nearly full despite an 11am start, lots of belly laughing, a much more upbeat audience and it seemed to be received really well from the way people were talking on the way out. Guessing again, this looked like a much more mainstream audience.
Whilst it's topical for some people to hate everything about it, it's clearly not doing anything to diminish people going to see it and I know several younger families who'll be taking a look once the schools finish.
Zero chance it's going to do anything other than make a huge amount of money so I think people's heads are very safe on their shoulders.
