Dark Knight Outpacing Online Pre-Sale Recordholders
When Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight opens Friday, it will be huge. $130 million huge? That's a high figure for a two-and-a-half hour movie.
And many of those ticket sales are being made in advance. MovieTickets.com, for example, reports that over 700 performances of Dark Knight are already sold out in North America, including over 270 performances in Los Angeles and New York City. The Dark Knight is outselling three of the online ticket seller's top-performing films of all-time at the same point in the sales cycle, including Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Spider-Man 3 and The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Over at online rival Fandango.com, over 500 showtimes of The Dark Knight are already sold out.
