Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that tickets for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story went on sale early this morning. Some fans at Event Cinemas George Street in Sydney marked the occasion by participating in the Ultimate Mannequin Challenge, wherein a special one-take video technique was used to capture the fans in all their finery, taking part in a Star Wars scenario. That’s the end result above, and we’ve got some nifty pics, too:
Sales were, as you probably guessed, rather brisk. An Event Cinemas rep said that 10 mins after tickets went on sale, 8,000 tickets were sold – that’s roughly 800 tickets per minute. More than 30 Gold Class sessions are already sold out, with eight midnight sessions in the first 30mins, and Vmax 3D is selling fast.
Rogue One is out on December 15.
