A reader reported just around 12:15pm:
“Just thought you might want to know, looks like people are already camping out in front of the Uptown.”
I couldn’t believe it but I remember when the Star Wars film came out in 1999 and I was living a few blocks away from the Uptown at that time and one night I came stumbling walking home around 3am and there was this massive line outside my building.
