Wow, do that many people buy pre-sale tickets?  I would think this is just a small fraction of the opening weekend ticket sales.

I only buy if there's a chance the movie will sell out (IM3, for example).  I'm not sure what the overall percentage of sales might be, but it's high enough to be an accurate gauge.

I think it's becoming more popular especially seeing Fandango advertising advanced sales for blockbusters lately.  Heck, you would think a film like "Gatsby" wouldn't be sold out but it was.  I think it's the idea of reserving your ticket now instead of waiting in line for minutes and be disappointed you didn't make it in.

I know that WM have a ticket pre-sell for an advanced (7pm) showing on Thursday. Not sure if you can still get them at this point though.

Saw Monsters University this morning. Fun stuff, with virtually everyone from the first movie making an appearance at some point. Make sure to stay after the credits!

If anyone is looking for an excellent Science Fiction movie, check out Europa Report.  It's sort of a found footage type movie, more akin to District 9's style...it even has Sharlto Copely in it, but it's well done overall.

It's out on Demand now with a theatrical release due sometime next month.
This is the way.


I have spoken.

Highly recommend The Raid:Redemption playing now on Encore I think. Police strike team leads all-out assault on inner city high rise under the control of a ruthless drug lord. The mayhem escalates from floor to floor, as the strike team battles the various bloodthirsty tenants on their way up, using guns, knives, fists, and explosives to unleash an unreal level of mayhem.

The climactic battle between three of the key characters at the end is one of the most brutal, extended fight sequences ever filmed this side of They Live. Seriously, it's that good.

I was thinking something along the same lines, Bill.

I saw The Conjuring today.  It was quite scary.  Legitimately.
