MemberOvomorph02/4/2012Was wondering where everyone was going to see Prometheus and will you be seeing a midnight showing?
I'm not sure about the midnight showing yet, but as far as the theater goes thought it was a good reason to finally try out The Arclight Cinema in Hollywood.

MemberOvomorph02/4/2012@Cinefan, The Dome at the Archlight is a great theater with a good screen, but if Mann's Chinese has it, then imo I'd go there! The next best, closest, great screen to Mann's would probably be the IMAX theater at Universal City Walk. If I'm in Cali during June then I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Mann's Chinese gets Prometheus! Mann's got the horrible AVPR which I saw at midnight with like 15 people in a theater that seats hundreds lol

MemberOvomorph02/4/2012This better have a midnight showing here in the UK! For some reason I think only the newest Harry Potter and Twlight movies had midnight showings. . . :( Crap movies! Prometheus is the most eagerly awaited sci-fi movie in what 20+ years!

MemberOvomorph02/4/2012I don't know about the midnight showing...but I do know I plan to see it in both 2D and 3D......2D first, because I'm not a fan of the whole 3D craze. However, I do trust Ridley and the fact that this film was designed for 3D, so that eases my concern. And I'm hoping it's good enough to warrant breaking my record for theater viewing of a single film....9 times.

MemberOvomorph02/4/2012@GigerFace. I think I did decide on The Dome. Being a huge movie nut I have been to The Chinese theater as well as the one at Universal City Walk, but never to The Dome, so I think I gotta go this time. It was either Prometheus or Ghost Rider (ya, right! kidding) Plus how can you beat reserved seating?
By the way I'm certain The Chinese Theater will get it.

I will also be seeing it in both 2D and 3D. Ridley did say at Comic Con that he would always film in 3D from now on. So if Ridley says that, I will believe him.
I will be seeing Prometheus in two different theaters. The reason for that is that one theater is newer and has stadium seating and is better equipped for 3D. The other theater has been remodeled recently and took out all of its seats and put in Really Nice big recliners. It is really relaxing and comfortable. Makes it a lot better seeing a movie the wife wants to see. You could easily go right to sleep laying down in the chair. LOL.

MemberOvomorph02/4/2012In my hometown, there's this really nice one screen theater built in the 30's called The Catlow and its interior is reminiscent of those beautiful palace theaters of old; all decked out in ancient velvet theater seats and wall to wall wood carvings in the rafters with electric candle lighting...it's Fantastic!.....as much as I'm dieing to see 'Prometheus' period, I cannot stand the wait to see it in this theater where I saw my first movie ever as a kid....'The Jungle Book'......The Catlow is absolutely my favorite place to see a movie, hands down....and to see 'Prometheus' on that screen...it makes me giddy....

MemberOvomorph02/4/2012My sister works for a cinema and they usually do a staff screening for most of their films about a week before general release (just to test for hicups etc)... My sis says Im more than welcome to see prometheus when they get the reels in..... FRING!!

MemberOvomorph02/4/2012@spacejock Being that Scott is from England and that's where it's being filmed my bet is that's where the main premiere will be.

MemberOvomorph02/4/2012Alien never had an official premiere it was funny listening to veronica cartwright say on the anthology they had to buy their own tickets and wait in line but that was 33 years ago.

MemberOvomorph02/4/2012@Cinefan, Ghost Rider will be another midnight showing with 15 people lol! And yeah the Dome is pretty nice just make sure you demand those guys turn the frickin air condition on! I've went to several premieres there from Transformers (shakes my head) to the Dark Knight (smiles for an awesome film) and both were during he summer and it was so hot inside the theater!
And @spacejock, @Cinefan is probably right, Prometheus will most likely world premiere in the UK with a second premiere at Mann's Chinese in Hollywood which usually follows suit with movies this big.

MemberOvomorph02/4/2012The official world dates could give a clue to the premiere because there are places that are getting it well over a week before anywhere else and there are some countries that cant see it until September which is odd.

MemberXenomorph02/4/2012For me it depends on where I am at. I could be in Chicago, Detroit or Cincinnati. If I'm in Chicago I'm going to the burbs to watch it at Batavia's Theater to watch it in IMAX 3D. They have excellent plush rockers, there.

MemberOvomorph02/5/2012alteredstate:
It will open in Europe on May 30th, just after the Cannes film fest which ends on the 27th. It will probably open at Olympia (in Cannes). I would also bet that it will be one of the last screenings at the fest.
I saw one of the Star Wars movies at the fest a few years ago and a few days later at a cinema in Cannes on opening night.... the theater was, no lie, half empty. Oh well.
Anyway, will try to see it at the fest and at a theater in France before comming back to Chicago.

MemberOvomorphMay-10-2012 3:49 AMHigh probability the U.S. red carpet premiere will take place at Graumann's in L.A., since Ridley Scott is based there. Thus the film will be having it's run there as well. It's a great theater, with that "ancient" red interior, incredible sound and the screen (though not in IMAX) that rivals the The Dome at Arclight. I will probably make a trip to see this in L.A. on a midnight show on 6.8.2012. Can't wait, as the buzz at WonderCon back in March was sky high, and the 3D footage looked amazing!
Would be interested in others making a special trip to L.A. to see this. There's really no other choice except to see in London when it opens there a week before.
