What are advance movie screenings?

Advance screenings are free promotional events where studios let audiences see movies before their official release date. They're used to generate buzz, gather audience feedback, and build word-of-mouth.

How do I get free movie screening passes?

Browse SeeItEarly listings, find a screening in your city, and click "Get Passes" to visit the source site. Most passes are free and first-come, first-served through sites like Gofobo, Advance Screenings, and studio partner sites.

Are advance screening passes really free?

Yes — the vast majority of advance screenings are completely free. Some premium events or film festival screenings may charge admission, which SeeItEarly clearly labels.

How does SeeItEarly find screenings?

SeeItEarly aggregates screenings from 20+ sources including Gofobo, Advance Screenings, 1iota, studio websites, Ticketmaster, Alamo Drafthouse, and more. Scrapers check for new events multiple times per day.

What cities have advance movie screenings?
