Myself, Jonasty, RichJ, Cheshire, and several others in CA saw it last night at 10pm. It opened all over the country last night all you had to do was get your tickets early.
www.fandango.com is the best place to do this.
Now for my thoughts on the movie. I truely feel bad for those of you who did not like it. This is a great film. Is it as good as the first. There is no comparison. They are not the same movie. Nothing will ever replace the newness and the building and all the pure attention capturing essences that came with the first movie. This movie was mainly about great special effects and some story building. We find out things that we thought were true are truely there to throw us for a loop. It is a very deep story line and plot. And all will be revealed in the third installment in 6 months. If you didn't get this movie. Grab a dictionary and go back and see it again.
