The Force Is Not Strong in Egypt: IMAX Cancels ‘Star Wars’ Premiere

Earlier this morning, IMAX Egypt’s Twitter account tweeted that the premier of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which was supposed to air in theaters tonight at 6:45 PM, has been cancelled.

Not much is known about why, but sources tell us that the file has been allegedly corrupted by a Sith Lord. Upon hearing the news, Egyptian Star Wars fans have taken to Twitter to show how disappointed and sad they are about the whole ordeal.

Thankfully, IMAX Egypt has announced that whoever purchased tickets beforehand can refund them today and the movie will still show at other venues, but sadly not IMAX. The trick is to actually book it before they all get sold out, which they all almost are.
