I always avoid going to movies on opening days - I usually end up going during the opening weekend or a week after the movie's release (and I usually buy tickets in advance in case the movie's real popular). The only movies I remember going to during their opening weekend was Fantastic Four (Saturday) and Serenity (Sunday).

Off the top of my head, the only ones I can remember seeing on opening day are:

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban


Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe will both soon be added to that tiny list. Opening weekend's a different story, though. I've seen many films on opening weekend since I almost always go to the movies on Saturdays, hence making Friday trips rather rare.

Opening day is the best time to go. I can't remember when I didn't see one opening day. Most recently, I saw <b>Jarhead</b>. It was very good, though quite uneventful-- not to say it wasn't engaging or interesting.

Just about every Friday I am at the theater for opening day of most of the good movies. One's I wished I missed include "Flightplan" and "Red Eye".
