TFW2005 member, Ozformers admin, and nice guy griffin-of-oz has shared with us some details of advance premiere screenings of Transformers The Last Knight taking place in Australia on June 20. Australian chain Event Cinemas will be holding advance screenings of TLK at eight of their locations:
- Browns Plains – 6:15 PM Vmax
- Chermside – 6:15 PM Vmax
- Garden City Mt Gravatt – 6:15 PM Vmax
- Indooroopilly – 6:15 PM Vmax
- Loganholme – 6:15 PM Vmax
- North Lakes – 6:15 PM Vmax Dolby ATMOS
- Springfield – 6:15 PM Vmax Dolby ATMOS
- Brisbane City Myer Centre – 9:30 PM Vmax
What is of interest here, is that while other parts of the world will have advance screenings a few days earlier such as the London premiere on June 18, these will be the first advance screenings open to the public, closely followed by US Imax advance screenings the same day, with Australia coming out ahead due to international time differences.
At the time of writing, it is around three weeks until the official launch of Transformers The Last Knight. Keep it TFW2005 for more news, as there is plenty more to come as we count down to launch day.

Screw You Paramount. Brisbane is too far away.
I must leave the internet for a few days, between when it is shown for the first time in Guangzhou until June 22.

They do have confidence it's just an early screening

It's getting an early release down under? That must mean Paramount has no confidence in this movie and is trying to get as much time soaking up those Australian pounds as possible!

Event Cinemas in Australia have now listed advance screenings of the Transformers Movie, for Tuesday evening on June 20th (two days before its general release here)… but oddly though, only at eight of their Brisbane theaters (as of this posting).
At this stage, I doubt this would be an error, but if other Event Cinemas around the country will also be having a Tuesday advance screening, they aren't listed on their site yet.

The sessions listed at this time, for Tuesday June 20th…
Browns Plains – 6:15 PM Vmax
Chermside – 6:15 PM Vmax
Garden City Mt Gravatt – 6:15 PM Vmax
Indooroopilly – 6:15 PM Vmax
Loganholme – 6:15 PM Vmax
North Lakes – 6:15 PM Vmax Dolby ATMOS
Springfield – 6:15 PM Vmax Dolby ATMOS
Brisbane City Myer Centre – 9:30 PM Vmax
If these sessions are true, it would mean that Australia manages to sneak back in front to be the first country to have public sessions of the Last Knight movie (that aren't one-off premiere screenings in London, China, Chicago, etc), despite IMAX in America having their advance screenings on June 20th as well. (timezone differences put these sessions about 8 hours ahead of their first sessions in America)
