It looks like " secret screenings" are part of the SUNDANCE film programme. Also, Hollywood Reporter confirms Hugh and Taron's attendance at the festival. It is going to be shown at the 486-seater Library Center Theatre at Park City. It looks like the slot at 9:00 pm ( originally called Townie Tuesday, for Summit County residents) is the likely screening time.

Sundance: Hugh Jackman, Taron Egerton to Attend Secret 'Eddie the Eagle' Screening

The sports comedy, starring Egerton as famous British ski-jumper Michael 'Eddie' Edwards and Jackman as his coach, will play Tuesday night in Park City.
Eddie the Eagle stars Hugh Jackman and up-and-coming Welsh actor Taron Egerton will attend Tuesday's "secret" screening of their film, Eddie the Eagle, at the Sundance Film Festival. Director Dexter Fletcher will also attend.
Every year, the festival hosts a secret screening. Last year, it was Jupiter Ascending.
Based on true events, the feel-good movie stars Egerton (Kingsman: The Secret Service) as Michael "Eddie" Edwards, the underdog British athlete who became the first skier to represent Great Britain in ski jumping when he entered the 1988 Winter Olympics. Although he finished last in his two events, he was cheered on as a plucky underdog. Jackman plays his coach.
The biopic continues Fox's relationship with Kingsman filmmaker Matthew Vaughn, who is producing Eddie the Eagle alongside Adam Bohling, David Reid, Rupert Maconick and Valerie Van Galder. Production on the film began only a few weeks after Vaughn's Kingsman: The Secret Service hit theaters, on its way to becoming a sleeper hit, earning north of $277 million to date.
Fletcher directed Eddie from a screenplay by Sean Macaulay. Christopher Walken also stars.
Fox will release Eddie the Eagle in North America on Feb. 26. A stop at the Sundance Film Festival will mean additional publicity for the film. Park City is also a fitting venue, considering Utah is a mecca for snow sports.
Last year, the secret screening slot at Sundance went to Jupiter Ascending.
