The Star Wars movies reached cult status decades ago. So it isn’t surprising that the debut of the newest episode – Star Wars: The Force Awakens – broke box-office records worldwide.
One fan, an 11-year-old boy, was determined not to miss this global event. His family were set to travel with Big Five to Peru at the same time the movie premiered in the United States. His disappointment could have started out this family’s long-planned journey on a sour note.
Big Five and their travel advisor were able to arrange for the family to see the opening showing in Lima, Peru the following day – in English and 3D!
Whether you see it in a theater in Lima, Jaipur or Cape Town, participating in an everyday event such as going to a movie in a new country and with a different culture can be fun experience.
