I was told they (Cinimark) don't know until one week prior if there's a midnight showing. I'll call the inside number and ask on Monday (4/21).

Wow, I'm surprised no one has mentioned attire yet. Anybody going to go dressed up in a suit and sunglasses if midnight showings come about? :D

I'm going to be in Chicago for a meeting that opening weekend, so I've already scoped out tickets. Fandango is already pre-selling tickets for the 14th, both 10PM and Midnight showings. Check it out.

10:00?! Even better! I have a good feeling that at least one Columbus theater will do that as well...

No midnight showings here yet, but there is one theater with a 10PM showing on the 14th. I called my local Regal and the woman said they will probably add midnight shows once they get in the prints and to keep checking online.

Sounds good to me.

Just called my local Gigaplex and was told that a midnight showing was a possibility, but not confirmed yet. I'm sure there will be, just not available for sale yet.

Star Wars fans ruined my midnight EP II showing. I will not go to one again. They wouldn't shut up, they wouldn't stop swinging their glow sticks, and they wouldn't stop mouth breathing and giggling everytime something with the "force" happened. I especially hated when certain scenes happened and they all were screaming. I don't really fit in that crew (they actually dressed up!), so I'll wait till the next day and enjoy the movie in silence.

There were people like you in the midnight showing of Episode II that I went to. No offense, but I recommend that you not go to a midnight showing for Episode III. The shouting and cheering is what makes it so fun for Star Wars geeks.

I hope they do midnight showings for the new Matrix movies.

Oh! What theater, where?? I don't do Fandango (no credit cards) so I need to go directly to the theater. Unless it's a burb theater (no car either).

LOL!!! :D

Man when you go to a midnight showing its not so much about the movie as it is about the party atmosphere...especially with TPM...that was just one big party...you go for the fact that your all sharing an experience...and its more about the experience...

Bleh, never mind then. I've never been to a midnight showing, and unless I'm forced to, I never will. I go to the movies for the movie, not for the "experience."

I ordered tix to the Loews Cineplex 600 North Michigan. They only list a 10PM screening. The Loews Cineplex Webster Place 8 is listing a 12AM screening. As already stated, looks like most Loews locations have one or the other.

How are you all finding the midnight show confirmations. There are Star Theaters in the Detroit Metro Area that are owned by Loews and I can not find any information for midnight Matrix showings.

thx,

I'm a card-carrying geek, but I kind of like to hear the dialog, even the first time I see a film.

I think that technically somebody who has to chortle, snort, squeal, and clap through an entire film is a 'spaz'. Please don't disrespect the regular geeks by lumping them in with the spazkind.

At both Episode I and II, people clapped and cheered at the LucasFilm and Fox logos, and when the music started with the SW logo, but after that it was silent until there was a good action scene or something worth cheering for. Except for the one scene in Episode II where you can tell that the ship on Tatooine is cold.
