[color=#000000ost_uid0]I think the reason they often play movies at 12:01am is that (a) it's the earliest they can do it on the given release date and (b) 12:00am could be argued as being ambiguous, i.e. actually still being the day before since it's the transition point. (Yes, common sense says otherwise, but since when is common sense actually common?) So, they use 12:01am, stay unambiguous, and play the movie at the earliest possible moment.[/colorost_uid0]
