That's good if true. Two days though, sounds like they want to try and break weekend box office records.

I forgot to add earlier that this isn't really a biog surprise since almost every big summer release gets moved from Friday to Wednesday now.

I might even throw caution into the wind and see it Tuesday night.

Well, if the last teaser was any indication, the one that's supposed to premiere with Friday the 13th should be on YouTube by now.

Sounds like they may be pushing it out on the Wednesday so that the USA gets the movie before (technically) markets like New Zealand and Australia who generally have Thursday releases for movies.

That and to get the news headline Monday of a big 5 day total. Studios seem to like those "extended weekend" numbers.

Hmmmm! Seems to me that over in the "CGI: Fallen" thread, somewhere around 3/4 down on page 12, it sure looks like I called this one! A solid 24+ hours in advance, easy. So, I guess, from my perspective, this is "old news". :grin:

No, I will not pick your Powerball numbers for you. Smeg Off! :P

Psshh, two whole days? Big deal, I thought it would be a month or something. Hardly even worth mentioning.

...

:shock:










:grin: *hugs Micheael Bay* THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, the pain of waiting eases by 48 hours! *returns to slavishly watching the teaser, counting the days*

I'd love that if it was true, because it'd be on my birthday. A birthday where I could watch TF: ROTF in the cinema... on a premiere... could a birthday be any better? I think not. :grin:

If this is true, my b-day will be awesome. :grin: :grin:

If I had known this information far enough in advance with the first movie it would have made my life a lot easier. I threw a party centered around the release of the first movie and I was pushing my luck getting tickets for every one when I did. As it ended up, the party wound up being on the 3rd with me getting 10 tickets for the midnight showing and 3 tickets for the first showing 8 hrs. later on the morning of the 4th (for me & my kids). The party date had been moved to the night of the 2nd until I discovered the tickets were alreaady sold out well.

Now I know far in advance and have no plans whatsoever to host a party around this. Go figure.

Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

Dude, here's what you gotta do. As soon as the advance tickets go on sale get yourself a ticket for the midnight showing on the 23/24th.
Hopefully you work the day shift 'cause youre' going to need a nap before you go stand in line and catch the movie. Afterwards, try NOT to ride out the adrenaline rush. Chill, go grab another nap, then get up and go to an AM/PM or some other gas/grocery stop and get 32oz. of the stoutest excuse they have for coffee (get 2, you'll need one to re-heat for later). If you don't drink coffee, start! It's your girlfriends birthday, sacrifices must be made or you'll spend the rest of the relationship sleeping on the couch.
You'll get to see the movie AND be able to spend the whole day with your girlfriend. Your ass will be dragging on the 25th, but if you follow my advice, you'll score twice in 24hrs. :grin:

Whaaat, like none of the rest of you have ever been in a position like this? Hell, I've walked into Satrbucks at 5:30 in the morning before going home and getting ready for work at 9:00 and I hadn't seen home since the day before.
Come On....
