I know that with big releases like this some theaters will have midnight shows, since 12:01 am is officially the release date. But how do they justify the 10pm showings? Isn't that jumping the gun?

So... anyone mind pirating it and showing it here? From what I've read, you guys are cool with pirating, right?

The movie spills over into 12:01 therefore the FIRST screening of the movie did indeed take place during that time Posts: 14316 | Registered: Jul 2005

Studios know that the Thursday 'midnight' movie will make more money if it is at 10 PM.
Movie Theaters like it this way for a variety of reasons. Less payroll, more income, and it's just an all-round good deal, for both the movie theaters and for the movie studios...
And for the audience, btw!

So they really don't have to "justify" anything. Movie Theaters say: Hey -- 10 PM screening on this one?
And Movie Studios say: Well, sure.
(Disney is the last major hold-out on this, by the way, so don't expect a 10 pm Pirates of the Carribean......)

I'm going on Friday - matinee hour showing. Hope it's worth it. Don't tell me what it is about until after I go see it!

Its about a man who came from a planet called Krypton. he leads a dual life, one mundane, the other as a super hero. There's this girl, named Lois Lane that he likes, but she likes superman not him. The irony is that HE IS superman.
I give the spoiler warner because boy was I pissed when they rereleased the star wars trilogy a few years ago and someone in line blurted out the fact that Darth Vader was Luke's father.

Lots of places have midnight showings, too, so you should check. Like here, where we're going to a 12:01 .

When I last checked, the theaters near me had 1 or 2 screens showing at 10, and none at 12:01. It's possible they've updated their showtimes today, but I doubt it.
