PEARL HARBOR
HONOLULU — In openings timed to match the minute of the attack nearly 60 years ago, moviegoers turned out at several Oahu, Hawaii, movie houses at dawn Friday, May 25, for the first showings of Pearl Harbor.
The first showing at Signature Theaters in Windward Mall was at 7:49 a.m., the minute the Dec. 7, 1941, attack was ordered. On that day, Japanese fighter planes passed over Oahu's North Shore, some of them heading down the island's windward side to bomb the Kaneho Marine Base.
Pearl Harbor showing timed with 1941 attack
Fans began lining up around 5 a.m. Friday, May 25, at Consolidated Amusement's new multiplex at the Ward Entertainment Center for 7:55 a.m. showings on five screens. The public opening of the film also marked the opening of the 16-screen theater complex.
The Disney blockbuster also had early morning showings at the Dole Cannery and Pearl Highland complexes. Each theater devoted several screens to the three-hour film, which premiered on Monday, May 21, aboard the air craft carrier USS John C: Stennis in Pearl Harbor.
At the Ward complex in Honolulu, patrons received a free bag of popcorn with each ticket, and the complex was giving away a car, trips to Hollywood and Las Vegas and other prizes.

Jarrett steals Speedway title
The Associate Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan.— Sure, Jason Jarrett would like to get back to the NASCAR circuits someday. But not iust yet.
"I'm not focusing on that. I'm just focusing on winning ARCA Rookie of the Year," said Jarrett, the son of 1999 Winston Cup champion Dale Jarrett and grandson of two-time NASCAR Grand National champion Ned Jarrett.
That focus is paying off for the younger Jarrent. He moved into third in the stands, behind veterans Frank Kimmel and Tim Steele, after his Chevrolet pulled ahead of Kimmel's Ford with four laps left to win Saturday's ARCA RE/MAX BPU 200 at the new Kansas Speedway.
It was the first win at the national level for Jarrett, 25, who is racing a full ARCA season this year after struggling on NASCAR's Busch Grand National circuit.
"That's a great win for him," said Kimmel, who won the NASCAR Winston West Kansas 100 earlier Saturday, in the first race at the $224 million track. "If you've got to get beat, I guess you'd want to get beat by someone like him."
It it didn't hurt Jarrett that Kimmel — who had won his four previous ARCA starts and would have earned a $15,000 bonus with a sweep on Saturday — developed engine trouble on the 131st lap of the 134-lap BPU 200.
"Wo broke a valve spring or something like that," said Kimmel, whose Ford led for 80 laps. "He was catching me pretty quick."
Kimmel was the one executing a late pass in the first race, though — winning a shootout with 19-year-old Jon Wood in the Kansas 100.
After Johnny Borneman's Ford crashed and caught fire in the 93rd lap, forcing a caution, the field got the green flag with only two laps left in the 100-lap race.
Kimmel, driving a Chevrolet, went onto the apron to pass Wood's Ford on the restart. He lost the lead by
a nose on the backstretch of the final lap, then regained it in the third turn to become the Kansas Speedway's first winner.
"I would have loved to go home as a two-time winner at the Kansas Speedway, but I guess it just wasn't to be." Kimmel said, "but it's an honor to be at a racetrack like this."
Tire blistering on the new track proved a problem on Saturday — especially for circuit-hopping driver Ryan Newman, who for the second straight week crashed after winning a pole.
Newman, who crashed in the 11th lap of the Coca-Cola 600 in Winston Cup action last Sunday, blew his right front tire and hit the wall in Turn 3 in the 87th lap of the BPU 200. He was running second to Kimmel at the time.
The crash denied Newman, who is racing an ABC schedule this season — for ARCA, Busch and Cup — a chance for his second win in as many ARCA outings this year.
He is scheduled to compete in the Kansas Speedway's Winston Cup event, the Kansas 400 on Sept. 30.
“It’s safe to say everyone was having tires blistering and coming apart the whole race,” he said. “Unfortunately, ARCA didn’t throw a caution probably when they should have. Everyone on pit road is blistering tires, but ARCA and Hoosier don’t want to admit it.”
Kimmel, however, said there was no one place to fix blame.
"When they tested here, it was cool, with a lot of dust on the track, and the speeds weren't what they are now," he said. "Hoosier brought everything they thought would work, but it's completely different.
"You've got to test here when it's 75, 80 degrees," Kimmel said. "It's not really their fault, it's not our fault, it's not the track's fault."
