So much for 12.18.26 is DOOMSDAY!!!!

I'm in New Zealand and just got my tickets.... For 6pm on the 16th of December (about 10pm on the 15th Pacific Time if I'm correct.) I find it odd that they haven't pushed for it to release at about the same time everywhere in the spoiler heavy climate we live in. Getting it a few hours earlier makes sense but getting it multiple days earlier than the biggest market in the world just seems odd.
