The film premiered on August 21, 2010 at Citi Field, Shea Stadium's successor in front of around 30,000 moviegoers. Earlier that day, Joel watched it himself and there was an announcement from him that he liked it and said "I haven't puked from it.", which was shown right before the film. According to the organizers of the event it was the biggest outdoor movie presentation since a 1919 showing of the movies of Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks in Columbus, Ohio.
