No other cinema will be allowed to screen the movie until The Grosvenor in Ashton Lane stages a showing on June 19 as part of the West End Festival.
It will be the first time the film is been screened other than the world premiere in London on June 2.
Ken Creelman, the cinema’s development manager, got in touch with Paramount to ask if the venue would be allowed to show it early because of the film’s connections to Glasgow.
Filmmakers transformed the city into Philadelphia in August 2011.
Hundreds of production staff and extras filmed a zombie attack in and around George Square while Glasgwegians tried to catch a glimpse of heartthrob Brad Pitt.
Ken said: “I spoke to my contact at Paramount to find out when the release for World War Z was.
“He told me it was June 21 and I thought that was a perfect time to work with the West End Festival. So Paramount agreed to us getting a showing before it’s released.
