Four blocks of Hollywood Boulevard have been shut down. By comparison, the red-carpet canopy at the Academy Awards takes up only one city block.
Three iconic theaters will be showing the premiere of the film, the TCL Chinese Theatre, the Dolby Theatre and the El Capitan Theatre.
The TCL Chinese Theater, formerly known as the Grauman’s Chinese Theater, hosted the premiere of the first Star Wars film, A New Hope, in May 1977.

Another said that her "head was going to explode" in anticipation.
