The dynamical regimes of models belonging to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class are investigated in d=2+1 by extensive simulations considering flat and curved geometries. Geometry-dependent universal distributions, different from their Tracy-Widom counterpart in one-dimension, were found. Distributions exhibit finite-time corrections hallmarked by a shift in the mean decaying as t^-\beta, where \beta is the growth exponent. Our results support a generalization of the ansatz h = v t + (\Gamma t)^\beta \chi + \eta + \zeta t^-\beta to higher dimensions, where v, \Gamma, \zeta and \eta are non-universal quantities whereas \beta and \chi are universal and the last one depends on the surface geometry. Generalized Gumbel distributions provide very good fits of the distributions in at least four orders of magnitude around the peak, yielding a benchmark for experimental comparisons. Our numerical results call for analytical approaches and experimental realizations of KPZ class in two-dimensional systems.
