“The night is darkest just before the dawn. And I promise you, the dawn is coming!”

Cinemark at Perkins Rowe still has tickets for the 12:03 a.m. and 12:04 a.m. screenings. The first two screenings are sold out.

Rave Motion Pictures on O’Neal at I-10 will show the movie at 11:59 p.m. in four auditoriums, one of which is sold out already. The second auditorium is almost full, and the other two are pretty open.
