‘New Moon’ Eclipses ‘Twilight’ at Fandango
November 12, 2009 - 1:49 pm
New Moon opens at midnight one week from tonight, but the film has already outsold its predecessor, Twilight, in total advance ticket sales on Fandango, the nation’s leading movie ticketing destination. The new movie currently represents 75% of the site’s ticket sales.
Although thousands of next Thursday night’s midnight showtimes are sold-out across the country (from Anchorage, Alaska to Winter Park, Florida), tickets are still available, while new showtimes are added regularly to keep up with the demand.
Currently, New Moon ranks as the #4 top advance ticket-seller in Fandango history, toppling Twilight which previously held the spot.
The Top 5 Advance Ticket-Sellers on Fandango (as of November 12, 2009) are as follows:
- Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005)
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
- The Dark Knight (2008)
- New Moon (2009)
- Twilight (2008)
