But the move by producers at New Line Cinema has sparked widespread criticism from those who believe the film should premiere in the city, the home of the award-winning TV series.
However, the company claims its New York premiere will be just as spectacular as the London opening with a huge party at the famous Radio City Music Hall on 27 May.
A spokesperson for the film company tells the New York Daily News: “It was simply a question of logistics and scheduling. We’re still planning the big premiere to be in New York.”
