Star Wars got a lot of people to put their butts in theater seats this weekend. Quite an accomplishment. Can't remember the last time so many people went to a movie all at once. I now understand why they didn't wait until the 25th.

The theater business as separate from the movie business really needs a boost. People are getting so much entertainment outside of theaters. This was a totally go-to-the-movies thing. I didn't hear one person say "I'll just wait till it's on Netflix or whatever."
