How do the free advance movie screenings work?
1. The N&O along with other local media outlets hosts special advance screenings of upcoming new movies, usually the week before the movie opens in theatres nationwide. Passes are required for admittance however having a pass does not guarantee seating. Just like the airlines, advance screenings can sometimes be “overbooked” when more passes are distributed then there are actually seats. You are strongly encouraged to arrive at least one hour early as seating is limited to theatre capacity on a first-come, first-served basis only. Neither the N&O nor the theatre is resonsible for seating over capacity. 2. Screenings are monitored for unauthorized recordings and cell phones with camera and video capabilites are not permitted inside the theatre.
