Ok, can'tstopthesignal.com has not updated, and I can't find any mention online of what the additional 10 cities will be for the next screening. Anyone seen or heard anything.

I'm sure I am hoping against hope that they will have a screening in Richmond or anywhere close, but a browncoat can dream right?

Yeah, 'cause none of us would want to see it twice...

(Fingers crossed for Columbus, Indy or Cincy...but I'll go back to Chicago if necessary--WITH a ticket this time).

Craig? That you?

Deja vu.

Yeah, the people going to these screenings will, I imagine almost without exception, also be there opening day.

I think almost everyone who goes to see it early, will see it again.

I'm a little concerned for other issues:

I'm not sure announcing the additional screenings without locations was the best idea. Seems like it could backfire if too many people get their hopes up, just to get shut out again. It might not be as much of a conern if the movie wasn't still 4.5 months away.

Which brings me to my next concern. As someone who as trying to work on something for the Premeire, I have to wonder if they are still thinking of monkeying with the release date.

Hi Mike! I agree - thinking the sucess of the prescreenings may motivate Universal to up that release date.

Ironic, our premiere shindig plans may be a victim of the prescreening sucess. Not sure how I'll feel about that... (happy mostly!)

Well, first and foremost, it's anything that makes the movie a success. It'd just be nice to know for sure if our help was needed or not.

First thing I did when I got up this morning is surf over to Fandango to see if I could find it for myself (should've just come here for the link!) and I HAVE TICKETS!!!!!!!

I missed out on the last ones, and I am so happy right now!

Remember, guys, the point of the advance screening is to get non-Browncoats to go and add more to our ranks. The more of us to spread the word means the more people who will be there on opening day.

Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

There are rumours about a screening in August in the UK? Can I ask where you've heard this?
