How Early Will You Go?

How early will you guys be lining up if and when you go to the midnight premiere at your local cinema (or IMAX cinemas in other countries like some Irish are doing by going to England)? I'm considering around 6 PM, but I live in a small town with an IMAX so it hopefully isn't as packed.

I live in a small town - no IMAX without driving a couple of hours so I won't bother. I'll probably just go to the theater around 10 - it won't be a problem ...as long as I buy the tickets in advance.

The day before.

Given how MI:4 went, a good hour and a half at least for IMAX.

Since at my IMAX (BFI IMAX in London) has allocated, the worry will be about getting the good seats when booking - it opens at midnight UK time on Sunday/Monday so let's hope the servers don't crash like with Prometheus...

2 hours before the Friday night showing. I came an hour early for The Avengers. It was a large mistake.

Drive 1.5 hours to the nearest IMAX, in line at least 2 hours beforehand. It'll be quite an evening.

I'll show up 10 minutes before they open the doors to the theater, park my motorcycle in a handicapped spot, go right to the front of the line bypassing all the nerds who have been there for hours knowing that they won't do anything about it. 8-)

Well, if the Chantilly 15/70 IMAX shows the movie (which they most likely will), I'll probably get there around 5, check out the exhibits for a while, and then get in line.

I live 2 hours away from the theater I'm going to (The Henry Ford IMAX Theater in Dearborn, MI), and plan on arriving there about 2 hours before the showing. I'm not really sure what to expect in terms of lines or how early I should sit down to get good seats. I will have purchased tickets beforehand of course, but I've never been to that theater or even an IMAX movie, period. If anyone here is going to be attending the midnight showing at the same theater, let me know. I'm also terrified about eating or drinking anything that day, as a restroom run will be out of the question. :judge:
