I'm kinda' hoping that they do a 8PM Showing that they've been doing with movies recently...the 8PM of At World's End was great! They had ALL 24 theatres playing it at 8 PM and EVERY ticket was sold out! It was awesome, and I'm hoping that Indy will be like that.

Anyone wishing they'd do special trilogy showings in major cities beforehand?
I'd be there.

I always sit in the back right under the projector window, so I'll be leaving mine on for the duration.
Really, the thing to do is to go as minor characters, like Musgrove and Eaton. Then you can just appear normal and not do the same exact thing that all other fanatics might.

I don't know if they do midnight showings here. I think if they do, it's a special event at one theater only. I think they did it for LOTR and made a marathon out of it. Perhaps SW as well. Don't think they'll do it for Indy, though. Not a big enough hype.
It's quite a surreal image...like a gathering of Elvis impersonators

They ONLY did that for Pirates of the Caribbean: AWE though, and it probably won't catch on as the actual opening weekend wasn't as big as it could've been. I can see Disney doing that again for Narnia though.
Frankly, I think the idea sucks. The whole point of Midnight shows is that you're technically seeing it the day it comes out, at the very first minute. The fact you're willing to stay up late shows you dedication as a fan. If you just wait til 8, part of the magic is gone.

Really? I thought that Spiderman and Shrek did the same.

Interesting idea, though I'll probably wear my leather jacket and wested leather hat; I don't have a brown or light blue suit.Attila the Professor said:
Me too. I've never seen Indy on the big screen.blueseattle said:
I thought it was kind of wierd they didn't have a midnight showing for that movie. I guess having an earlier showing works.ForbiddenEye said:
I had class that morning so I waited and went to the 1pm showing. That was pretty awesome, and less crowded I suppose.Adamwankenobi said:

oh yes! I'll definately be attending a midnight showing! its gonna be so much fun! I have very fond memories of going to the Star Wars ROTS one, was just one big event! lots of cheering and craziness! I didn't have enough courage to dress up though, maybe at this Indy one I might,

Forgot about Shrek(can't remember if it was 8 or 10), but I can tell for with absolute certain they didn't do that with Spider-Man.
Still, hard to count Shrek as they rarely ever do midnight showings for animated films, and there isn't a huge desire to be among the first to see it on the likes of Star Wars or Pirates. Hopefully, the 8:00 idea dies down.
BTW- It's cool with the name. I don't post much(yet) on the forums anyway, and how can I blame someone for wanting to use a kick-ass name! Nice to see another Disney fan.

Yes, I'll definitely wear my KotCS shirt. And if this were coming out sooner and the weather were to be cold, I'd wear my leather jacket. It's not an Indy one, but I will admit I do wear a leather jacket just because Indy did

I doubt I'll go to a midnight showing when it opens, because it'll be the middle of the week and I'll have to go to work the next morning. I'll probably go to the first 5 pm showing, or if I can get off work the 2 pm showing. Though if it opens on a Wednesday (new movies usually do here) that might not be a good idea since there's no school then. Then again, how many teenagers would really be interested in seeing Indy?
