More shows added as Star Wars fans inundate cinemas

THE force may be strong but demand for tickets to the latest Star Wars movie was even stronger over the weekend, prompting cinemas across the country to hold midnight screenings this Thursday.

Ireland’s Star War fans inundated cinemas pre-booking tickets for the eagerly awaited screening of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

Pre-booking has been so high in Dublin that UCI Cinemas will show the final instalment of the Star Wars saga 44 times in its three cinemas.
