tanelorm Eso es bastante cierto. Y lo recuerdo perfectamente.
"As was reported by the New York Times way back when, hordes of Star Wars fans - identified as "mostly young men" - were buying up movie tickets for titles like Meet Joe Black, The Waterboy and The Siege simply so that they could watch the Star Wars trailer. After the two minutes of footage played, many decided that they didn't actually want to stay for the film and left the theater in droves before the feature actually began. Because select theaters were replaying the Phantom Menace trailer after the end of the aforementioned screenings, some movie theaters also allowed Star Wars fans to reenter the cinema with their stubs to get a second preview of the sci-fi epic."
El hype que se logró con Episodio I no fue normal. Qué locura lo de aquel entrañable 1999 😢
