Hi, Everyone! Don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but the Hollywood premiere will be before the national relesase date. Also, the date won't be made public too awfully long before the premiere is held, maybe a month and a half. It just depends on when Summit books the theater and what is available. As soon as it is booked, it will be on Mann's site. I know this because I have been to two premieres. However, you can visit the Mann's Theaters site,

Sometimes it will be held at Westwood Village, where the viewing potential is much better, in my opinion. I took my kids on a 2 week Twilight vacation last year. We started in LA and drove to Seattle. We stopped at all the filming locations in LA and Oregon and then went on to Forks and La Push in Washington. It was amazing and fun. I am taking my girls to the premiere of Eclipse this summer. I am fortunate enough to have a flexible schedule so short notice on the Hollywood premiere is not a big problem. I will be keeping my eye out for the premiere date and if I come across it and it isn't posted here yet, I will let you all know. Also, just a thought, Vegas is only a 4 hour drive from LA. It would be a lot cheaper to rent a van and split the cost and then have transportation in Vegas. Just a thought!
