Star Wars movie

Since the new Star Wars movie opens in December do you think it wii be showing on the Christmas cruises?

 

[Mommb]

Yes. It will certainly be showing for at least a month after opening (and probably for many months).

Well, the ones that are after the premiere date (Dec 19), yes.

This, you have to be actually on the ship on December 19 or later to see it. We are sailing in mid-November before the Frozen movie comes out and there are still a ton of people in our social media group who are convinced that Frozen is going to be shown on the ship because we are "so close" and it is a Merrytime cruise no matter how many times I tell them it is NOT going to happen.

Agree with you. I saw somewhere that a sneak peek of the trailer of it will be shown on some cruises, not sure which ships or how many cruises. Those people are going to be disappointed when it starts and they realize it's not the whole movie!

We were on the Fantasy last week and the schedule for the week did not include Maleficent. They listed a preview but no showing a of the movie. Then Wednesday the app had a 10:00 Thursday showing in THE WALT. Then it ran ALL-DAY Friday in the Buena Vista Theatre.

I bet they will do a 12:01am showing on the day it opens, maybe in the WDT. They do that you know!

Yes this is standard fare, Disney likes to make it seem like a special thing when they show movies on opening night.

They wont show it on the navigator or plans for the week, and if you ask about it they will say "We will see, hopefully the film made it on the boat before we left!"

Then the day before they will make a big deal about it and say it is a special event and show it on both screens etc...

But rest assured, if it is a movie distributed by Disney it WILL be shown on open night, don't be fooled by their trickery

We have done at least 3 cruises when movies were opening, they do this shtick every time

However, they never show it early as far as I know only when it opens in the states, same time not earlier.

There have been occasional instances when movies were shown early.

Typically the movie is shown at 12:01 am the day it opens on land in the US.

But, there have been reports of random movies showing at 11:00 pm or 10:00 pm the night before opening day.

And at least one time that a movie was shown earlier in the evening when the next day was not a port day, and the next port of call was debarkation 2 days later (captive audience).

Yes that's true, but those movies were also shown at those same times in the states. I think it might have been the last 2 star wars movies? They showed them before 12:01 in the states too, I think this is actually more common now.

This happened on one of our cruises. They showed A Wrinkle in Time at 10pm the night before it opened on land. The CD made a big deal that they were able to start it before midnight.

That's cool but I don't really consider 2 hours early to be early, I was meaning like days early Some folks have asked before if they would show it on their cruise that happened before opening night. I don't know if this has happened before, but I would not be surprised if Disney did do this for a cruise with special circumstances like bad weather or a missed port.

I've never heard of them doing it days early. Only earlier than midnight the same night.

Even cruises where opening day was debarkation day, the movie ran at midnight (yes, it made for some bleary-eyed passengers debarking that morning).

We sail on the Fantasy 12/21 - can't wait to see the movie that day!

I was on the Fantasy when Black Panther and Mary Poppins Returns opened. Black Panther was shown at midnight and Mary Poppins was shown a little bit earlier. Both times they were not listed in the navigator until the day before.

(The Black Panther showing was when I realized I am NOT equipped for midnight movies anymore and am so grateful they usually start them at 6 or 7 pm.)
