I talked to the guys in the booth, one is a main character in the movie, the other is part of the production team, and they told me that there will be many premieres that Don is bringing the below transporters and funny cars to the theaters and parking them in front... I'm going to see if I can make it to the Hollywood event. August 26th at the Egyptian is what they told me will be the event day, but it's not on the calendar of the theater http://www.americancinemathequecalendar.com/egyptian_theatre_events
