"Star Trek" fans now have one less day to wait to go "Into Darkness."

With IMAX previews of "Star Trek Into Darkness" selling out fast, Paramount has decided to release J.J. Abrams' highly anticipated sequel to regular theaters one day sooner than first expected.

IMAX theatres are reporting sell-outs of "Star Trek Into Darkness" sneak peek shows on Wednesday, May 15 in Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Seattle, Austin, San Francisco, Houston, San Diego and Minneapolis. Other cities' venue are likewise filling up fast.

In response, Paramount Pictures has moved the film’s Friday, May 17 release up a day to Thursday, May 16. The film is being released in 3D and regular 2D.

"Star Trek Into darkness" opens May 16, with IMAX preview showings taking place at 8 p.m. May 15 in select cities.

Just thought I'd point out, it was always opening in IMAX one day earlier. IMAX had Wednesday night openings, with shows all day Thursday and regular theaters getting it on Friday. All this means is that regular theaters will also get it on Thursday.
