Ram Charan's Game Changer directed by Shankar is finally out. The first premieres in the U.S. were scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time, which is exactly 12:00 a.m. midnight in India.
However, fans who arrived at the theaters to catch the first premieres were confused as the 1:30 p.m. EST shows were rescheduled to 2:00 p.m. EST.

The theater management, across chains like Regal and Cinemark, informed viewers of a 30-minute delay.
This caused some confusion regarding the reason for the last-minute change.

The U.S. distributor of Game Changer Shloka Entertainments explained that the 30-minute delay was requested by the production house to align the U.S. showtimes with the first screenings happening in Andhra Pradesh.
Aside from that, there were no issues. However, the bad weather in parts of the U.S. did hinder some movie fans from attending, as regions like Dallas were experiencing snowstorms and extremely cold temperatures. This certainly impacted the premiere day.
