A source working in show business has told us Warner Bros. has given the go ahead for theaters to hold early screenings of TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES on July 1. The movie is scheduled to begin its theatrical run in North America on July 2.

Warner Bros. decision to allow early showings of T3 isn't unusual; studios usually have a showing of their big "event" movies in the late evening the day before the picture's opening day or even sometimes at midnight screenings. What is unusual about Warners approval for the T3 showings is the early time that theater owners can choose to start showing the sci-fi actioner. According to our person on the inside, screenings of T3 can begin at 8:00 PM on July 1. That means two showings of each print of the film can be sold before the first day even starts. Conceivably that can boost the first day grosses of T3, of which the early showings ticket sales are included with. However, it will remain up to each individual theater manager to decide if they wish to show early sneaks of TERMINATOR 3.
