If you hurry, you can make the 9 a.m. showing.

Or the 9:30.

Or the 10. The 11. The noon. The 1 p.m., or any other showing that follows through 10:50 p.m.

By my count, the new “Star Wars: A Force Awakens” is playing on 13 screens in five local theaters today for a total of 94 Sunday screenings.

(A lot of movies that is.)
