Editors at Australian site Bmag.com report that at the end of the screening, Harrison stood up and told the surprised audience to keep their lips sealed about the movie’s plot.
Monday’s premiere is the culmination of years of planning, filming and marketing “Star Wars” for a new generation.
“The Force Awakens”, the first “Star Wars” film in 10 years, also stars the saga’s old hands Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill as well as newcomers John Boyega and Oscar victor Lupita Nyong’o.
One contributing factor to “Star Wars'” advantage over “Avatar” is the increase in theatres in Russian Federation since 2009 – which is now home to more than 3,800 screens, compared to the country’s 2,100 screens in 2009.

The Force Awakens has notched up $50 million in domestic pre-sales, according to U.S. media, breaking the record set by The Hunger Games in 2012.
