The day that the movie opens to the General Public is Friday, May 25th, though some showings will be offered before Midnight (Thursday evening, May 24th). Some movies have limited openings, where they only open in certain cities one weekend, and then across America a week or two lately. This is common around the end of the year, where certain movies want to be eligible for the Oscars and other awards, and need to be shown in major cities prior to a certain date.
