Trivia

Original Italian release of "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens" in the cinemas in Italy was planned for January 6, 2016 (3 weeks after the international release, last country in the world). "Walt Disney Pictures Italia" had decided to release the new Star Wars film after the Pixar's movie The Good Dinosaur (2015) planned for the Italian cinemas for December 18, 2015. After this decision, Star Wars' Italian fandom has made a petition with over 5,000 signatures to Disney Italia's staff and they have asked to move the date of release in their country. On April 7, 2015 Walt Disney Pictures Italia decided to change the date of the two movies: "The Good Dinosaur" moved to a November 25, 2015 release, "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens" two days before the international release, on December 16, 2015 (Italy becomes first country in the world where the movie will be released in the cinemas).
