[Erzengel]

Anything Star Wars

Batman, Spiderman 1 and 2 I didn't see opening day.

[The Chairman]

Revenge Of The Sith

[Wilhelm-Scream]

It was so cool when Return of the Jedi came out, my Mom let me skip school, slept over at my friend's house and then we got up at 8am, went to the theater and met our 3 other friends in line who were crazy enough to've been there all night. Stuff like that doesn't happen anymore.:(

The very first time any character would come onscreen the audience freaked out and screamed like a Beatles concert. This guard walked up to the camera, took off his mask and it was Lando and the place exploded...for LANDO.

No one did that s*** when I saw the prequels, there were actually only a handful of people that even clapped for the Lucasfilm logo, even worse, they did it politely.
So lame.


Also sad, the only movies I'd try to see on opening day were when I was a kid. Now I actually avoid it and wait weeks because audiences are so much more unbearable now.
I still haven't seen King Kong, ChronicWHATcles of Narnia, buncha others.

So lame.

People stood up and applauded at Episode I when I went to it, and applauded and cheered at the other two as well. Did you go to a midnight show?

I went to anything Star Wars on opening night, except for the original, which I saw in early June 1977.

I never skipped school to see it but I did stay to see the last showing on opening day for both Indy and Jedi, even though I had school the next day. I don't remember any cheering during the movies but I do recall the lines to see it were around the block. The thing that pissed me off was some kids I knew from school, who just left the theatre after seeing Jedi, gave away all the major plot points and the ending.

[SpideyLad]

Fantastic Four

[Kmack]

Spider-man, Daredevil, X2, Finding Nemo, Kill Bill Volume 2, Spider-man 2, The Incredibles....can't remember the rest right now.

[Spoarz™]

The last film I saw on its opening day was Spider-man 2. Me and two buddies of mine booked tickets and saw the first screening. Kick ass :up:

[Chris Wallace]

I now have the great displeasure of adding "Ultraviolet" to my list.

[Mee]

Batman Begins is the only one I can remember. Usually I wait a few days to let the lines die down and not have to go real early or fight for a seat. But I couldn't wait for that one.

[Warhammer]

Collateral
Hero
I, Robot

I've seen a lot of films on opening weekend, the most notable being the last two Harry Potter films and the original X-Men.

The only films I've seen on the actual day they came out were Hellboy and...the SpongeBob SquarePants movie. Wow... I just revealed how immature I am. :o

probably others but those are the only ones I remember seeing the first day. Though I have seen dozens the opening weekend.

[danoyse]

I saw Return of the Jedi on opening day. :up:

My dad and I saw all three Lord of the Rings movies together on opening day at the same theater in NY. We met Andy Serkis before Return of the King, he was signing posters at the Toys R Us in Times Square. He wrote "My precioussssss" on my poster after my name. :woot:

[Chris Wallace]

Cool.

[Nirvana]

God...The movies I've seen on opening day are endless. Seriously, if I see a movie theatrically I'll usually see it at a midnight showing or first showing matinee. If I don't see it opening day I'll usually see it within the first week of release. But seriously, almost every movie I see is on opening day.

Same here. I couldn't possibly list them all at this point.

Although, I didn't see TDK for over a week after it opened. I was at a concert the night it opened and got home really late, so I just skipped it until the following weekend. I felt like the only person on the planet who hadn't seen it yet by the time I went.

[Max J Power]

The only one that comes to mind is Inglourious Basterds. And I saw one of the advance screenings of Snakes on a Plane.

I mostly go to movies on Saturday afternoons.

[Ipodman]

Most reason AVATAR
but Im not one who waited ten years...

[Kent]

I can't really remember one. I'm sure I've done so with a few though. It's just, I usually try to go with a set of friends that have expressed interest in going, and it becomes this huge game of trying to find a day when it works for everyone.

I do believe I saw Star Trek on opening night (only because only one of my friends expressed interest). I saw Serenity at an early screening (so, before opening night), maybe that counts as well.

[Lord Valumart]

Fantasic Four(by accident)
KotCS
The Mummy 3(by accident)
Hancock(by accident)
Journy to the Centre of the Earth(by accident)

Which is what anyone here also should understand. There are non-US people posting on this site.

[chaseter]

About 70% of every movie I have ever seen.

I am not counting movies that I would rather not own or I regret ever watching...like Snakes on a Plane.
