Star Wars: The Force Awakens Breaks Advance Ticket Sales Record in Russia

Star Wars: The Force Awakens has sold more than 15,000 tickets ahead of its release - in Russia alone. That's a record, THR reports, and is following a trend across the globe. Russia's 3,800 screens won't all be dedicated to The Force Awakens, of course, but the growing film market there will definitely help when the movie hits Russian theaters on December 17 - a day before the official release in the U.S.
