But got better as the evening went on. A fun night for everyone, it seems.
Reaction tweets are in the replies, but here's the reaction from the theater. A standing ovation:
Will update with photos as they come in. For now, we'll settle for these beautiful photos of Jake after the play this afternoon:

I can't imagine Michael Pena not being there. He's been on the EoW tour! I hope he's there.
Jake Gyllenhaal takes time to greet roaring fans...many of them are in tears... #endofwatch #TIFF2012

Now in the longest line on the planet for End of Watch starring Jake Gyllenhall.
Today was the best day omg i met cody simpson bradley cooper jake gylenhaal ryan gossling susan sarandon and high grant #freakingout
"End of Watch" is a gritty action-thumper with Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena as L.A. cops. Intense. In #cle 9/21. #TIFF
Jake gyllenhaal is sitting 3 feet away from me #tiff12
JAKE GYLLENHAAL IS ONE SEXY MOTHERFUCKER
I COULDN'T GET A PIC WITH HIM OR ANYTHINF SOGNED BUT I WAS LIKE 3 FEET AWAY AND GOT PICS OF HIM OMG
Added a photo that has Michael in it, so that's good to see. He looks like he needs a new suit, lol.
Wasn't that car story hilarious? I hope she posts more, lol.
I'm loving this! Really catching the excitement, and yes, jumping out of the car! Absolutely! LOL!
Really happy for Jake that he's getting such a huge welcome from the fans @ TIFF!!!
Ticket? $40 standing in line? Hrs. Jake Gyllenhaal sitting 5 aisles down from me at the #endofwatch #TIFF12 premiere? Priceless!
#EndofWatch with Jake Gyllenhaal at #princessofwales #tiff12 @ Princess Of Wales Theatre http://instagr.am/p/PVl7cNiZs8/
"End of Watch" drowning in testosterone, but Anna Kendrick, Natalie Martinez, America Ferrera, Cody Horn (from Magic Mike) also shine. #TIFF
It's worth noting that Michael Pena, who is always good, absolutely steals End of Watch. Maybe his best work ever.
Just overheard at the 'End Of Watch' premiere that Jake Gyllenhaal has requested the volume be turned up - the Jake has spoken #TIFF
So you know whom to blame if your ears bleed!
Added a few pro photos :)
Jake Gyllenhaal looked me in the eyes...and I had to look away. #TIFF12
Indiewire pretty much predicted they wouldn't like EoW, and they don't.
L.A. mayoral candidate & city councilman @ericgarcetti & #LAPD chief Charlie Beck both make cameos in Gyllenhaal's END OF WATCH. #TIFF12
Interesting - I think we heard that Jake had given Garcetti a donation.
David Ayers, our Peckinpah? "End of Watch" is new & uncompromising. Michael Pena for Best Supprting Actor.
Scott Weinber'gs review:
If Mr. Ayer's goal, after producing a series of "dirty cop" movies, was to craft a film that showed the low-key honor that most police officers possess, then he's done a damn good job of it. End of Watch covers a whole lot of emotional ground for such a "basic" cop story (the plot: our heroes stumble upon a human trafficking ring in South Central), and the result is a suspenseful, intense, and surprisingly touching ode to America's inner-city peacekeepers.
Jacob Soboroff @jacobsoboroff
Questions for Jake Gyllenhaal and/or @AnnaKendrick47? I'll be chatting with both tomorrow about END OF WATCH for @AMCnews. #TIFF12
Keith Simanton @IMDbKeith
David Ayers, our Peckinpah? "End of Watch" is new & uncompromising. Michael Pena for Best Supprting Actor.
Ouch.
Indiewire really took Ayer to task.
Smiley Jake at today's stage door. I hope some of that earlier perception is changed, because Jake seems to be doing it quite happily. Someone on Broadway World mentioned that many actors don't come out after the matinee.
Manny the Movie Guy: I quite enjoyed HYDE PARK ON HUDSON, but I was totally mesmerized by END OF WATCH -- Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena rock! Truly one of the best films of the year, I've never felt this intense and terrified since SILENCE OF THE LAMBS...yup!
From twitter:
I laughed. I cried. And I have no idea what just happened. #EndOfWatch #TIFF12
Pointing at the best eyes in Hollywood. Jake Gyllenhaal looks like he is looking into your soul when he speaks to you. http://pic.twitter.com/YxB8y8oH
Just got out of press screening for 'End of Watch' - loved it. So well made and great performances: Michael Pena is so fantastic! #TIFF12
Thanks, Monica. I think I nicked a photo of yours, too :)
Indiewire has been skeptical about this movie for months. Lots of "We hear it's good, but we're not convinced." I would have been shocked to read a good review.
Justjared posted photos from EoW presentation. Anna Kendrick, Natalie Martinez, and America Ferrara look beautiful.
America's look is my favorite. Gorgeous.

END OF WATCH "is a visceral, adrenaline rush embued with warmth, humor & staggering poignancy." My review: http://veryaware.com/2012/09/review-%e2%80%93-end-of-watch/ @FrankGrillo
End of Watch. Unbelievable #TIFF12 http://pic.twitter.com/6n7vSnSP
Argo the best thing at TIFF12 so far. End of Watch and The Master the biggest disappointments.
End of watch was so good #TIFF
Incredible performances from Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena in End of Watch. #TIFF12
may or may not be in the same theatre as JAKE GYLLENHAAL. cross it off the bucket list. happiest girl alive. #tiff
Cops meets YouTube on End of Watch. At least Jake Gyllenhaal & Michael Pena make a good comedic team. Unsure if that was the goal #TIFF12
@TIFF_NET just finished seeing End of Watch. Great film, a must see in my opinion. Good story, solid acting.
First movie of TIFF - End of Watch, with Jake Gyllenhaal. Fantastic movie with excellent camera work.
The amazing cast of "End of Watch" at #TIFF2012 - amazing movie!
Jake Gyllenhaal. http://instagr.am/p/PV1Gm0nwXo/

Wow, the Twihards try to ruin everything, don't they? LOL.
I love the shot of Anna and Jake, and that side shot of Jake, even though it's blurry.
More:
I'd love 5 min for counterpoint w/ the lady who told the cast of End of Watch during Q&A that it was each of their best films ever. #TIFF12
End of Watch: intense and gritty first-person cop drama set in the streets of LA. A highlight of Jake Gyllenhaal's career. #TIFF12

End of Watch, what an excellent motion picuture, a tear jerker too! 2/2 solid films so far at TIFF.
Both the film and the cast were amazing! Great Q&A afterwards with Ayer, Gyllenhaal, Pena, Ferrera and Kendrick! #EndofWatch
Hope someone took a video of it!
Saw jake gyllenhaal today within 3 metres distance from me and it may or may not have made my life

End of Watch was really good #TIFF12
End of Watch had one of the best Q&A minus a few dumb questions
End of Watch was amazing. Jake Gyllenhaall was gorgeous. An amazing end to my #TIFF2012 experience
Jake Gyllenhaal being about 1 foot away from me made my life #happytashana ☺
Aww, from Anna K:
End of Watch screening was breathtaking; audience response was INTENSE. Congrats to Jake, Michael, David Ayer. I'm proud to be part of it.
She seems like a pretty cool chick.

No problem - it's way too hard to remember what has and hasn't been posted!
New found love for Jake Gyllenhaal after seeing the premiere of an amazing movie #EndofWatch tonight.
From the producer of "training day" ...End of watch gets two thumbs up!
Everybody has a Plan, No one lives (#MM) and End of Watch #TIFF12 - can I just say that End of Watch was Brilliant!
End of Watch was a good movie with a great Q&A after #TIFF12 http://pic.twitter.com/SVNQPqk7
seriously. everyone go see 'end of watch' when it comes out in theatres. best film I've seen in a very long time.
End of Watch was very entertaning. This was a very good day for watching films.
wow still thinking about end of watch. hands down my fav film of the festival so far. breathtaking. oh and @AnnaKendrick47 is the shit
End of Watch screening owned at #TIFF2012...can't get over the awesomeness that is @AnnaKendrick47
TIFF Day 2: End Of Watch. So far my FAV film of 2012 and BY FAR the best cop movie ever made. Raw. Emotional. And a fun ride-along of a film. At the World premiere with cast Jake Gyllenhall, the underrated Michael Peña, the beautiful Natalie Martinez, America Ferrera and the adorable Anna Kendrick.
Back from 'End of Watch' which turned out to be quite a surprise. Very tense and entertaining, definitely not what I thought it would be.
if & when END OF WATCH comes out in theaters....GO SEE IT! Incredible movie!! #TIFF2012 http://pic.twitter.com/uYWP39Nu
Tonight, I waited in line for about an hour and half to "rush" for #EndofWatch Totally worth it! Great movie, and great Q&A! More celebs!
Funny exchange:
@MarkChuraman I'm uber jealous that you were in the same room as #JakeGyllenhaal! Shame his grisly beard was covering his beautiful face! ;)
I was totally fangirling haha! I wasn't a fan of the beard at first, but I learned to love it by the end of the night lol.
LOL! I would be fangirling too! Big time. Glad you had a great night! :)
A report from the NYC screening - was that just last night? I can't keep it straight, I wonder if Jake is getting confused!
You can see the crowd waiting for Jake in a video called "CP24 top stories: Stars shine at TIFF events" at CP24.
It's worth watching to see the chat with the Jake fans, as well as the reporter's butchering of the actors' names. It's towards the end of the segment.
Looks like they had a live stream - not sure if we could have seen the EoW premiere or if there will be a press conference, which they also cover. It's not on their listed schedule for tomorrow.
A glimpse of the madness.
And in case it was missed in the maelstrom, a very nice video of Jake after the matinee on Friday.
Whoa, there is a lot of coverage to catch up on, and it was done ao quickly, thank you UV and everyone else your your speedy updates!
Love the fan response to Jake at TIFF he looks good but yes he needs a new suit!
Can't wait to see the critical response to EOW at TIFF.
Si Si Penaloza @SiSiTravels
Jake Gyllenhaal and Anna Kendrick share a hug before End of Watch http://instagr.am/p/PWmgQguuAF/
You think you know the story, but you don’t. Intense and intimate, this is a haunting look into a type of brotherhood we’ve never seen before captured on film. It places the audience in the front seat of the in-your-face action. Ayers also gives us a surprising amount of tension-relieving laughter that helps viewers care about the characters. Gyllenhaal and Peña are nothing short of amazing, and I suspect they will earn some well-deserved awards buzz.
http://veryaware.com/2012/09/review-%E2%80%93-end-of-watch/
Jacob Soboroff @jacobsoboroff
Good day from #TIFF12. Talking w Jake Gyllenhaal, @AnnaKendrick47, Michael Peña & @AmericaFerrera about END OF WATCH soon. ?'s for them?
5 m ago
UV, a lot of Babblers have been tweeting and posting, etc, but honestly, I just have to say you have done an amazing, amazing job of harvesting all these photos so quickjly, and putting together a coherent post! I feel like we are "eye witnesses" LOL! Thank you!
Josh Henderson @HendoTweets
Just interviewed Jake Gyllenhaal's beard. Seriously, that thing consumes his face. My beard was envious. #beards
Aww, thanks, Bobbyanna. It helps that fortunately (?!) I have been sick all weekend and haven't left the house much!
Some more tweets from last night and today:
Both myself and the audience loved the movie! During the Q&A, Jake was in good spirits. Joked around + shared stories from the set.
Still thinking about End of Watch last night. Wowser!
Went to the #tiff12 premiere End of Watch last night and it exceeded all my expectations. Celebs, Q&A with the director and cast...
Our 2nd film. Cast of End of Watch. It was gritty but we really liked it. #TIFF #EndofWatch http://instagr.am/p/PW7X_cCWmx/

A very short glimpse of Jake last night in this video.
From Alicia Malone, a celeb journalist from Australia who loves Jake:
New Jake Gyllenhaal hug alert!! I said "what would you do if I came at you with an awkward hug?" he said "I'd be defenseless" Love. #TIFF12
Also, apparently End of Watch was trending at some point, because there are a bunvh of those weird tweets that get autogenerated with a trending topic. Wish I'd seen that on twitter!
Trying to put up another post, but in the meantime, some more tweets:
Jake Gyllenhaal was bearded, beautiful and gave good quote. Just the way I like him. #twobabesoneday
@joelive @PaulNortonHair END OF WATCH is awesome! Viceral, powerful, gripping, intense! #SeeIt #tiff

Guess Jake was right about the sound, lol.
Emanuel Levy's positive review of EoW (Grade: B): "Shying away remarkably from stereotypes and accepted conventions in depicting cops, Ayer the writer digs deep into their lives, showing in detail their work routine as well as their leisure activities, while socializing with the women in their lives, a new aspect for Ayer and the genre at large."
Thanks, Hagen. Nice to see another positive review! I'll copy that over into the next post, up now.
