How can matrix break midnight date?

[bubbadu]

My crappy local cinema is playing the matrix reloaded on wednesday the 14th at 10PM... isn't that illegal to break the date of the release? I would go to that theater and see it for 6 bucks, but they DON'T have stadium seating and the sound is HORRIBLE. The last time i went there the speaker to the right of me buzzed throughout the movie

I have tickets for a showing at the same time! I don't care if it's illegal as long as I get to see it!

The theater where I'm seeing it is very nice!! I am so lucky!

Maybe it's midnight in another time zone

Technically it would be Thursday somewhere in the world.

you sure they're not screwing with you and actually just playing The Matrix at 10:00 and then Reloaded at Midnite?

It's playing at 10PM at every single theater the night before. I guess it's to pad the numbers for the weekend.

There are plenty of movies that have sneak previews. I think WB authorized some theaters to have a sneak preview showing of the Matrix Reloaded.

Playing it at 10pm here in Dallas too. Fvckit, I'll go see it after I workout on Thursday. No point in staying up late on Wdnesday

it would be against the theatre's contract with the distributor, which they would never ever break.

well they need those 2 hours to fit in all the previews and commercials

LOL!

RFLMAO! BWHAHAHAHAHAAHA

Just keep in mind that the "hardcore geeks" are going to be at these opening showings and they are going to be shouting and geekin ALL OVER THE PLACE! Doesn't sound like a Wed. night to me, I'll try to see if I can fit sometime around lunch in the afternoon during the week.

I'd assume that the movie wouldn't start til 10:30 w/ previews and obviously, the movie is at least 1.5 hours therefore the movie would be playing on the 15th technically
