Dying to see Barbie early? Certain theaters will be hosting early-access screenings of Greta Gerwig's latest film starring Margot Robbie.

Fandango announced early-access screenings, dubbed “Blowout Party” screenings, that will take place on Wednesday, July 19. The screenings appear to be standard showings of the film, just a day before the Thursday preview screenings that take place the next day. It's not unusual for films to do this, as putting fancy packaging (or a name for the event) over standard screenings may generate more interest. Plus, who doesn't love seeing a movie early?

Barbie is set to release on July 21 opposite Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. As of now, long-range box office projections have Barbie beating out Nolan's latest. Tom Cruise and Co. will be in their second week with Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One, so it's smart of Warner Bros. to try and maximize their profits while they can.
