The only tactical advantage to seeing Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in Cannes on 5.18 is that critics there will have a jump on those seeing it stateside by perhaps as little as seven or eight hours.

The Cannes press screening will happen at 8:30 am with reviews going up an hour or so after it ends at 10:35 am -- make that 11:30 am to 12 noon, Cote d'Azur time. That's 6:30 am to 7 am New York time, and 3:30 am to 4 am L.A. time. If U.S. domestic screenings happen in the evening, the word from Cannes will be exclusive for two-thirds of a day, give or take. Obviously less so if they happen in the afternoon. I'm hearing that U.S. screenings may begin around noon or 1 pm in the east.

says ...Aladdin, you're correct of course, though I remain skeptical. His turn around followed months of "Uncle Festus" cracks and bitching about aliens. Then there was the whole 140 minute thing which was certainly laying the groundwork for a takedown even if he was unwilling to come right out and say it at the time.
If he likes it and says so, I'll be happy to admit I'm wrong once again.
