I don't see it in any of the local papers.
I guess it's going to take a few weeks.

I arrived in the DR on May 20, 1999, and didn't want to deal with the campers and long lines to see episode 4, which came out 1 day before.

It took more than a year for episode 4 to hit theaters here, and by then it was dubbed in spanish.

Episode 5 came out only a few months after the US/international release, and the theater in Plaza International had an english language subtitled version and a spanish version to choose from.

I have been told the delays vary depending on what distributor the local theaters are contracting with and what kind of relationships they have with the studio that owns the movie. I imagine the prints get cheaper to lease over time so delays would tend to favor the profitability of the local theaters.

So unless the distribution companies come up with a real good deal we will be waiting anywhere from 2-14 months for the DR theatrical release. (occasionally the DVD release is quicker)

If anyone is real impatient there is always P2P networking for those who like to watch movies filmed inside a theater with jittery camcorders in horrible resolution with terrible audio just to get a vague idea what happens.

(Later the same day)

Just went by the mall and saw that it was indeed playing, didn't ask what language. I guess my above post can be disregarded.
Which Mall were you at??

Just saw an ad that Diamond Mall in Santo Domingo had the Premier of Star Wars (May 16th), so I guess they have it playing there!

I saw it last night at Megacentro. I can't believe it's in Spanish already.
