This year, all of the major releases have been showing on Thursday, at 10PM, some of them even 9PM. And yet, the studios pretend that the movie is actually being released on Friday.
What's up with that? So, they all just decided that they might as well just cheat, and say their movie is released on Friday, when it's actually released on Thursday? Only a difference of a couple hours right, so who cares?
I CARE!!!
I'm sorry, this post is a totally selfish rant, but maybe a few others will appreciate where I'm coming from.
The midnight show was something special. The people who showed up for that were troopers, the real fans. It had an effect on the atmosphere, it could be electric.
So, I guess the tradition of starting the movie at 12:01AM (and thus, technically Friday) is finished? So now I'm forced to share arm-rests with people who might only be nominally excited about the film?
I call shenanigans! Either they change the official release-date to reflect the fact that they're actually releasing it on Friday, or they go back to the way things used to be. Here's one person hoping for the latter.
