Used to be that theaters got the film about 2-3 days before the start of the run.
Don't know about now but I'd be skeptical about your friend's story.
He may have seen promotional material- posters, standups, etc.- coming in- that sort of stuff is made even before the film itself is finished.
No way is your friend seeing those movies, he's telling porkies mate!:lol:Quote:

so do you think he is seeing movie trailers? cause he is convinced and i have seen him get a few tv show screeners before.
