i'm pretty sure the first movie's world premiere was in sydney. it was small, but was told that it was first.
ReplyDeleteTurns out you are half right. It didn't premiere in LA but instead the first movie's world premiere was in Italy. I update the post to reflect the corrected info. Thanks!
ReplyDeletebay said when he showed the movie in sydney he literally finished it like a night before. how's that possible?
