Star Trek Into Darkness is one of the most anticipated, most buzzed-about flicks of the 2013 summer movie season. If you’re itching to see J.J. Abrams’ latest big-screen blockbuster, we’ve got good news for you: It will now be arriving one day early, on Thursday, May 16th.
The move is supposedly based on high demand and early ticket sell-outs, but Into Darkness was already unleashes its IMAX version into theaters on the 15th. Honestly, I’m kind of surprised they don’t just shift the general release back to the 15th as well, but there may well be some logistical issues that would prevent that. Either way, I know my as will be in a seat ASAP to see the film.
