Yeah, agree, I wouldn't argue with just removing the ticket sales mention but if we could throw in a detail or two it would be nice. Some thoughts inline.

I like talking about wikipedians writing about it, but not ticket sales. Are there cool details in the article to mention?

 Perhaps (either instead or in addition?) ..:
  • FB: Wikipedians have assembled lots of information about @The Force Awakens, the first live-action Star Wars film in 10 years. Did you know that director JJ Abrams injured his back while helping lift the door that had fallen on Harrison Ford's leg?
  • Twitter: Did you know that #TheForceAwakens spent 3 days filming on this historic island off the coast of Ireland? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skellig_Michael
 
(I'm at treasure island on a phone)

 
Jealous, I wanted to go yesterday, especially for deadmau5, but still too underwater (plus didn't know anyone else going which made it easy to skip ;) ).

Yeah, the promotional issue occurred to me. I think it's a legitimate entertainment development and the page is amazing. If we cut the mention of ticket sales, is that enough?

I prefer the second; the first sounds a little too promotional with the mention of ticket sales.
