And yes, Regal was a bit premature in their announcement. I'm guessing they were supposed to wait for Mr. J. J. Abrams to announce it himself (or maybe he just wrote up this little card in response to Regal's fluke):
Nice TIE Fighter, bro.

Luckily for you, you can buy a ticket to any of the films playing in those theaters this weekend to watch the teaser trailer. The trailer will play from Nov. 28-30, so you have a whole weekend to fit back into your Wookie suit. I wouldn't hesitate on those tickets, though...
Neither Lucasfilm nor Disney have made an official announcement, so it's unclear whether Regal has the exclusive rights to the teaser trailer or you'll be able to check out the trailer in other theatres, as well. As soon as we know, we will update this post!
The announcement was originally shared on Twitter by Regal. It seems that it might've been by accident since the company handle quickly removed the tweet. Too little too late, though. The Verge got to the announcement first.
