The force is strong in Rotorua with fans so excited for the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens that it looks like some records could be broken.
Reading Cinema's complex cinema manager Jannene Burns said the cinema was "crazy" yesterday and at midday it had already sold out three cinemas, about 340 tickets, for the premiere at midnight last night. She expected two more cinemas to sell out by around 10pm.
She believed the movie, the first in the saga since 2005, was set to break some records.
"I've been here 18 months and I've never seen it like this, it's going to be a busy night.
There are some hardcore fans, we have heard people will be dressing up which brings a bit more excitement."
Ms Burns said she was excited, not only for the movie but for the fans as well.
