Are Movie Theaters Open on Christmas and Showing Star Wars: The Force Awakens?

Happy holidays from Dork Side of the Force! It’s Christmas Eve and as we prepare for our annual Christmas Day rituals, knowing which theaters are open and where, so that we can see Star Wars: The Force Awakens (again), is a handy thing to know…

Some people like to gather around the familial battleground that is the dining-room or kitchen table and play board games, while other simply prefer to enjoy a nice post-Christmas day dinner nap, while others just fall into a sugar induced coma from all the candy that Santa left them in their stockings. Or, others — like myself and my wife — enjoy taking in a Christmas Day matinee at our local theater. This year, we will be seeing Star Wars: The Force Awakens (again), and hopefully you will too. That’s why we here at Dork Side of the Force have compiled a list of national theater chains that will in fact be open on Christmas Day, so that you can get your Star Wars groove on.
