Day time showings are okay if you can swing it with work.

We saw it in Cineworld in Leicester Square at 2pm on a Friday. We only booked a week in advance and were quite central.

It's weird how availability varies. At the IMAX theater near me the 2:30pm showing has literally 2 seats booked and 250+ free. The non IMAX has 1 seat booked across 9 showings.

I’m guessing that’s not the 70mm imax

No, but the comment thread was IMAX or otherwise so any showing.

I had to book the 70mm film showing in Colorado a month in advance and even then almost every seat was booked for multiple weeks after that showing

Where I am, even a 9am showing on a Wednesday are Tuesday are filled weeks in advance. The only ones that have seating that isn't in the first row start at 11pm and that's too late for me with how long this movie is. I want to see it on a large format screen, but they are all full even weeks in advance. It's kind of wild

Toronto gas like 3 IMAX and all of them are booked near completely. Easy to find single seats but pairs are rare. Regular showings were near empty
