 Re: The Dark Knight pre-sales and sellout watch Sam wrote: Saw this commercial advertising the midnight showings like three times tonight. I know they've done that for other movies, but I personally had never seen one on tv before. the commercial was pimping Travers' review. Yeah they played that with the all star game. I believe it ended with "Everywhere Midnight Thursday" _________________Ari Emmanuel wrote: I'd rather marry lindsay Lohan than represent Mel Gibson.

Re: The Dark Knight pre-sales and sellout watch everyone is hearing about the great reviews so I do not expect any negative feedback at all to hurt it.

The main reason why we sold out so late was because we put 4 midnight shows up for sale at the same time, so I wouldn't be suprised if another one or two of the midnight shows sell out later today. We are waiting for the bookings to be confirmed before putting up our 5th and 6th midnight shows. We've already sold a few dozen to the 1am show and a few to the 2 and 3am shows. Along with the special group showing at 7:00pm, it's going to be madness at my theater THU night  Midnight show #2 has now sold out 5th midnight show now on sale  FRI 7:00pm is now sold out  The Westgate across town has sold out their first midnight show. Midnight show #3 is now sold out  Midnight show #4 and #5 are now sold out. Midnight show #6 (last one possible) is now on sale. 1am show #2 (last one possible) is now on sale. EDIT: Oh geez, we just got permission to borrow a print from our smaller theater up north (first time ever that we borrowed a print), so midnight #7 is now on sale.

Re: The Dark Knight pre-sales and sellout watch The Toronto ScotiaBank Theater has 5 sold out shows....
they have added a 12:45 show and it appears they will likely have 6 sold out shows.
There are now 3 sold out shows in a theater in Waterloo.
2 at a Theater in Ancaster and Oakville.
The Yonge-Eglinton theater and The Eglinton Town Centre have sold out thier shows and these theaters are not that busy.

Re: The Dark Knight pre-sales and sellout watch I haven't checked my theaters for all the big movies with midnight shows for sellouts, but I have a few times. I've never known either of my theaters to sellout before the day the movie is actually playing. Right now one of the theaters has 4 sold out showings and hasn't added anymore yet. The smaller theater I go to doesn't do online ticket sales, but I bought my tickets at the theater days ago and they had 125 seats left in a 500 seater. So I'd have to say that theater has at least one showing sold out by now.

Re: The Dark Knight pre-sales and sellout watch Both midnight shows at my local theater are now sold out.
But it's reporting way less sell outs than Hannah Montana. I predict big trouble.

Re: The Dark Knight pre-sales and sellout watch Well you have to look at the big picture.
The big theater downtown selling out is not a big deal.
However when my local theater for the third time sold out a midnight screening and has added a 2nd for the first time ever, it is something special.

Overall TDK has sold more than SM3. While this does not guarantee OW record, at least it proves interest is HUGE. Every new tracking number has been higher than before. I think TDK should have the 3rd biggest OW.

So are there two 12:01am showings and one 12:15am showing at Trinity Common? I just picked up tickets today for the 12:01am and the Cinema # on the ticket is just a "------" so I guess it was a recent addition. Should be a fun, if not chaotic night.

HAHAHA. I can't get her to go a midnight show with me, she has no idea how nuts it is. I got there a couple hours early for X-Men 3 and still had horrible seats, same with Pirates 2 and Spidey 3. Maybe I should get there 3 hours early? _________________

Re: The Dark Knight pre-sales and sellout watch So I'm seeing this Sunday afternoon/night. I'm debating on whether I need to buy tickets early when we decide the actual time. Madness.

Ive considered earlier as well, but there are only 2 others going with me so i figured we wont have to arrive 4 hours early to get good seats. _________________The Force Awakens

Re: The Dark Knight pre-sales and sellout watch Quote: So are there two 12:01am showings and one 12:15am showing at Trinity Common? No there is one at midnight and 12:15 am. The one at midnight is sold out. Also the Imax Theaters are starting to sell out their sunday shows. _________________The Dark Prince
