TWILIGHT IS SELLING OUT, ALREADY!
Well, maybe that $150 million is do-able. Check out the statistics that are already coming out:
LOS ANGELES(RushPRnews)11/06/08-”Twilight” doesn’t open until two weeks from tonight (at midnight), but Fandango is reporting that nearly 100 show times for the November 21 release are already sold-out across the nation, from Sacramento, California to Gainesville, Florida.Twilight accounts for 63% of all ticket sales on Fandango, the nation’s largest movie ticketing destination, outpacing those of High School Musical 3 at the same point in that film’s sales cycle (two weeks before release date).
A few new stats from our ongoing Twilight moviegoers survey on Fandango.com (as of 11/6/08):
• 87% of respondents said they saw the trailers and clips online;
• 92% said the trailers and clips made they want to buy a ticket to the movie;
• 73% are most excited to see Robert Pattinson as Edward (respondents were asked to choose one Twilight character they were most excited to see portrayed on the big screen);
• 31% of Twilight moviegoers are 17 or under; 28% are 18-24; 22% are 25-34; 16% are 35-49; 3% are 50 or over.

$150 million scares me, I hope we can pull that off – for all of them including Catherine and Melissa. The numbers are looking good so far although I wish they’d tell us exactly how much they’ve made in pre-sales. That might help us know if we still have hope. What do you think of the stats? Have you purchased your tickets yet?
