Midnight show #6 sold out last night. The Wesgate across town has sold out their second midnight show. I'm going to try to convince our neighbor Lakeline theater to lend us their second print, but it's probably too risky of a trip to take both of their prints, eh?

My local theater has added 4 midnight showings in addition to its original, which is sold out. These ones aren't sold out yet though.

Shows are selling out like crazy the more I look! I see about 50 sold out midnight shows in the Detroit metro area which is not quite what hp5 had but its 5 hours earlier in the day.

AMAZING UPDATE: We were able to swipe both our northern theater Lakeline's prints for tonight and we put midnight show #8 on sale. However, as of now, ALL 8 MIDNIGHTS ARE ALREADY SOLD OUT!!! Our theater across town, Westgate, have sold out all 3 of their midnight shows, and I don't think they can add anymore (maybe they can add a 4th possibly). We are maxed out here in Austin, TX. We also received news that we are currently ranked 7th in the chain for non-IMAX sales of Dark Knight. That's mighty impressive for a small market city! It's only a matter of time till our 1am shows start selling out. Oh my, I've seen nothing like this here!

 Re: The Dark Knight pre-sales and sellout watch
The theater next to ASU is completely sold out for all 8 of their showings at midnight... all that's left is the 3:30 showing... Luckily, the theater I'm going to, doesn't sell out in advance as quickly... though 2/8 are already sold out.

The Regal 20 in Augusta, GA has sold out all 5 of its midnight shows. I think that is more than what they sold out for Potter.

 Re: The Dark Knight pre-sales and sellout watch
Any idea how many theatres are having midnight showings?
Because, while it may seem crazy, if that number is 2500+, it could indeed challenge Sith. It seems to be outperforming HP5 (2nd biggest midnights ever), which had 2100 theatres show midnights, and it made 12M.
3000+ of Sith's 3600+ TC had midnights, BUT!, it couldn't fully max those midnight showings out due to opening in May and not in the middle of summer. So if a studio is able to get enough midnights for their movie in theatres, it's not impossible to beat. HP5 for instance probably could have challenged SIth's record if it would have had 3000 theatres show midnights like Sith.

 Re: The Dark Knight pre-sales and sellout watch
Sellouts aren't as crazy here, but Silvercity in the mall has still sold out its IMAX showings until Saturday night and a couple of midnight showings, and added a couple more.
The buzz here is insane though. This is the most I've heard people talking about a movie since Sith.

How well do you know the college? On topic, the 12:03 showing at the Bolingbrook theater sold out. I'll probably update the post closer to midnight. Sam, any idea how many midnights the River East is up to?

Because, while it may seem crazy, if that number is 2500+, it could indeed challenge Sith. It seems to be outperforming HP5 (2nd biggest midnights ever), which had 2100 theatres show midnights, and it made 12M.
3000+ of Sith's 3600+ TC had midnights, BUT!, it couldn't fully max those midnight showings out due to opening in May and not in the middle of summer. So if a studio is able to get enough midnights for their movie in theatres, it's not impossible to beat. HP5 for instance probably could have challenged SIth's record if it would have had 3000 theatres show midnights like Sith. Nikki Finki reports that roughly 3,000 theaters will have midnight shows so.....yeah.
