Here is how to get free passes to “Sonic the Hedgehog 3”:

Tuesday, December 17, at 5 p.m. at AMC Sunset Place in South Miami. Download passes here (you will need to create a Go FOBO account if you don't have one already).

The number of passes are limited. Getting a pass doesn't guarantee seating.

It's smart to arrive early. Sneak previews are often overbooked to ensure a full house, so you must arrive early and prepared to wait in line. Seating is not guaranteed, just because you have a pass in hand. (By the way, movie studios also reserve seats for the press and VIPs. That’s why you see all of those seats with tape across them at every screening.)
