The date does seem to make sense in that it parallels exactly the timing of last year’s premiere.  It also would be at the same location. Interesting side fact is that the premiere was initially booked at the famous Mann operated Grauman’s Chinese Theater, and then it was moved to the Westwood properties, so these things do change.

There is no word as to premieres in other countries. Last year there were premieres in both London and Tokyo.

As the Mann website states, they do not sell/give out tickets to premieres. That goes through the studio. Premiere tickets are usually only given to those directly involved with the film, their staff, and those with entertainment industry connections. So please do not call the theater looking for tickets.

Last year fans were able to line the fringes of the red carpet. They camped out for about three days to do this. we don’t know whether that will be allowed again.  Also, camping on street is subject to local ordinance. No word on how the local governing agencies are going to be about people camping out.
