There’s been some hubbub about the G.I. Joe: Retaliation release date (yes, even above and beyond that pesky 9 month delay). The initial release date was March 29th, which is next Friday. Then trailers and TV Spots started mentioning March 28th, and I think most folks (myself included) assumed that meant late night showings for the 29th premiere.
Then scattered mentions of March 27th started spreading out there, and I confirmed with a few theaters in my area that the film would actually be released on March 27th.
But, wait. That’s not all. I hit up Fandango pretty regularly to see when local showings are, and as of yesterday evening, I was able to purchase a ticket for a 7:00pm show on March 26th. Other GeneralsJoes readers are confirming the information. So if you’re as excited as I am to see G.I. Joe: Retaliation in theaters, I strongly recommend you hit up your favorite theater’s website, or Fandango.com and check that release date. You may get your G.I. Joe: Retaliation fix even earlier than originally suspected.
Heck, we’ve waited nine months, I’ll gladly jump at the chance to catch it a couple of days early!
The local Joe club here in Atlanta was given a limited number of passes for a preview screening on the 26th. But, the flick doesn’t show up in listings for the theatre where the event is being held. It does, however, show up in the listings for a different theatre across town. But, a lot of places seem to be running it on the 27th.
Yeah me and some buds are going on the 26th at 1900.
