I'd say go. Contrary to Fumanstan, Like large theatre crowds and prefer to go, if not midnight, then 7-9 p.m. showings. I don't think alot of people will attend midnight showings so it should be a little easier getting good seats. Personally I already have my midnight tickets and am going with a friend.
What's a good action movie if you can't share the experience with a theatre full of raging and cheering fans! I hate empty theatres, that's what my home theatre and DVD system are for. Theatres are for crowds!!

I agree with Teremei, midnight showings are just fun even if I have a difficult time staying awake at that hour. I'm checking it out saturday afternoon since the nearest theatre doing a midnight show is almost 50 miles away.

That being said, I have class tomorrow morning so I don't make the midnight screening tonight.
Count me in on Friday night's festivities, though.

My local theater was having FOUR showings, two at 12:05 and two at 12:10. I went to the 12:10, rushing to get there as I'd just gone to a 10pm showing of 'Spider' at another theater across town.
Anyway, I went to bed at 3:30 and had to get up for work at 6:30, but it was 100% worth it.

thanks to all for posting.
i didn't make it, since I, like lisadoris, the nearest midnight showing to me was a bit of a drive. that said, i do like the energy of watching at opeing crowds so i'll see it 2nite.

There wasn't a midnight showing at my theater so I went to the first showing this morning at 10:30. It was very busy and I could not believe how many parents pulled their kids out of school so they could see this. Like they couldn't have waited until tonight or this weekend.
