Both Thursday night shows, 7pm and 10:30pm, at the Brenden's IMAX in Las Vegas are showing as sold out, although I'm not quite sure if I believe that. It is the only true IMAX in Vegas, tho.

It looks like only the big cities are selling them right now. I tried for my town where I will be over the holidays and nothing yet.

Are you a tour guide or something?

The Houston Edwards Marquee IMAX and RPX shows are about 99% sold out for Thursday. That's 4 shows (2 IMAX, 2 RPX). They will likely have to add some later shows after midnight.

nope just this and reloaded were the only time my close non movie friends were hooked on a film. With Sith got 5 too. I love anytime my non movie friends are hard ones. Even JW they were like I have to see, but not previews.

Wow. I'd like to watch this film with that audience

it broke the Internet

FIX YOUR SITE FANDANGO!!!! FUCK!!!!

I drove like a madman to theatre last night to buy a couple tickets to the marathon after I found out the internet had crashed and my brother had not purchased tickets as he was instructed.

Damn son that's commitment

Not a single ticket has been sold to the theater near me...

You can be the first!

Damn SW7 is already selling 95% of all tickets sold at MT. I dont remember any movie selling this big this far away. MJ2 was like 20% when it starting its pre-sales but it was alongside Martian OW which was also selling well. Now the market is quite dead and so SW7 is dominating big. Can it sustain or will it fall out of Top 5 after initial hysteria from SW fans.

IDK what is so difficult to grasp. All online sales will be enormous.

Walk ups make up the overwhelming majority of business and those will be far less impressive.

The only real IMAX in AZ has not sold out any showings.

previews for uber blockbusters tend to have high ratio of tickets sold through pre-sales(online plus through box office). SW7 will have even higher ration.

Anyway all time biggest previews( BD2?) is definitely gone. I think DH2 record could be in play but not sure it will be able to grab all the screens that early. So it will need sizable number of shows post midnights to beat it. Possible but I would still say its unlikely. I would say somewhere between 35-40m for now.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part II (11/16/12) - $30.4 million
is the preview record.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II (7/15/11) - $43.5 million (3,800 theaters/$11,447)
is the midnight record.

I'm sure it will be close.

The ticket sales, poster release, trailer release, etc., for SW were really hyped up by the media in a way that Mockingjay was not. Without all the media hullabalooo, its likely people wouldn't evenh know tickets were on sale.

Finally!

I went to cinemark website and purchased 2 tickets to first showing (3D 7pm).
I also purchased 1 ticket to the 1pm Friday 18th showing at Alamo Drafthouse.
Mainly cause for extra $15 you get Star Wars beer stein and magazine celebrating 40 years of Star Wars

Are the sites still slow/down for y'all??

HOORAY!

And the from what I see the first showing at the IMAX here in Phoenix IS sold out. the 1030 not yet.

Must've just sold out. It was still clickable when I checked.

I'm still working on trying to get IMAX tickets....but the Edwards theater works with Fandango and that fucking site is still acting up for me.
