Hey Rex.. this is the PERFECT excuse for you to go see it TWICE!
Go check it out for yourself first, THEN, based on YOUR knowledge of your son and what he can handle, you'll be in the BEST position to make the right choice for you and your family.
My family and I (hubby and 15 year old) went to the midnight showing at our local movie theatre and there were TONS of kids under 10 there, I'd say the youngest was probably 5, and I didn't hear any screaming, crying or notice any children looking particularly disturbed at the end.
But different kids can handle different things.
That's how I'd do it anyways, then you get to watch the movie at least twice in the movie theatre for a VERY good reason!
