While fans will be allowed to begin lining up at 2:00 p.m., I highly recommend arriving earlier to scope out the area.  Many fans are going to be attending and any advantage can help you get in to the premiere tonight.  Some who arrive late may also try to worm their way into line, so keep an eye out on those trying to cut.  That could cost you your opportunity to make it in the premiere.  Security will handle those cutting in line if it's brought to their attention.
