No one's saying Rogue Onetickets are doing The Force Awakens-level ticket pre-sales -- but even if they were, there's just no cause for alarm.
If you want to be sitting in a movie theater as the Star Wars spinoff unspools on opening weekend, you will be. You will be.
SEE ALSO:Diego Luna lookin' sharp as an Imperial officer in this 'Rogue One' featuretteTickets went on sale Monday, followed by the inevitable widespread reports of site-crashing, long waits, and other bantha, errr, blog fodder.
So far neither Fandango nor Movietickets is reporting any hard numbers -- it's just not something they do -- but they did say it was the biggest pre-seller of 2016. Hardly a surprise attack, that.
But all this attention really does is set the Star Wars fanbase all atwitter, because the fact remains: Every living human who wants to see Rogue Oneon opening weekend will get that chance. And they probably won't have to wait in a long line to do it.
Do you think I overestimate their chances?
As Mashableexplained back when The Force Awakenswas obliterating ticket presales records, there is simply far more movie-theater capacity than fans could possibly demand.
With digital projection now standard, cinemas can adjust theaters and showtimes to accommodate guests on the fly -- in particular when advanced sales are such a huge factor. You may not get your ideal time or your ideal seat on your ideal night, but you'll get in, and all you have to do is try.
Let's calculate the odds.
There are more than 5300 movie theater locations in America; a typical Hollywood tentpole release will open at something like 4,200 of those. With just under eight screens per cinema, there are more than 40,000 operating movie screens in the U.S., each with an average of 250 seats, according to the National Association of Theater Owners.
All that makes for roughly 10 million total movie theater seats.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the biggest domestic opener of all time at $247,966,675, sold about 30 million tickets over its first three and a half days -- meaning each of those seats got used about once, on average.
But here's the thing: most screening rooms churn three to five showtimes per day or more.
In other words, even the biggest movie ever is only using about a third to a fifth of the nation's total capacity.
Trust us -- if a movie theater has a screen unsold the weekend of Dec. 16, and you show up looking for a ticket to Rogue One, they're going to find a way.
