According to a press release issued by MovieTickets.com, someone somewhere purchased a ticket on Aug. 18 to see Avatar on its opening day of Dec. 18. The company states that is the earliest anyone has ever bought an advance ticket for a film.
“Tickets being put on sale for a film four months in
advance is unheard of, and the fact that tickets have already been sold really
speaks to the tremendous buzz the film has already created and the power of
James Cameron at the box office,” said Joel Cohen, executive vice
president and general manager of MovieTickets.com.
No word yet on the identity of the eager Avatar fan. But rumors abound this is a photograph of the ticket buyer, taken shortly after he completed the online transaction.
Good one
