Superman Returns Advance Ticket Sales for Superman Returns are Selling Insane

[terry78]

Already got mine. The gf wants to see The Devil Wears Prada as well, so she's seeing Supes and I'm watching that. Even trade.

I got mine tonight and the seller guy said "Get here at least 2 hours early. You're gonna get a seat, but be here super-early if you want good seats, or to even get seats next to eachother." I said "Did you say 'super-early'?"

Anyone who thought this film wouldnt be a success needs to be slapped...

I'm sure some will still say it wasn't a success or that it was just lucky for now. Some stupid people will say anything.

And glad I brought mine today. Can't wait for Tues. 10pm night!!!!

This is a nice sign....but I wouldn't put too much stock into these advance ticket sales.

I just hope it does a respectable take for a Wednesday.

same. as long as it doesnt BOMB, were set for a sequel really.

 

[War Lord]

I got the day off today, so I'm going to try and get a ticket for the show today. I'm probably not going to have much luck, but if I succeed, I don't mind going a couple of hours early because I can bring my palm pilot to read or my laptop to work on.


Although, I don't know if they'll let me in with a laptop, because they think I might be downloading the movie into it.

This Movie is playing all day at my Theater tomorrow & the rest of the week & then after. This Movie has more Show Times then X-Men did the at my Theater opening day

 

[Cinemaman]

Looks like we can expect very very high numbers from this week

 

[War Lord]

I've done my bit to try and help it set a 5 day record, because I've bought my ticket for tonight.

I'd do it again, but I'm going to be putting in a ton of hours this weekend at work and the afternoon shift doesn't allow me to see movies after work.

What is it that you do that keeps you that busy? If you don't mind me asking...

The Burbank theater is only showing tix for 1 show at 10:00PM......there's about 5 that you can't buy to (Or click on at the same time). I wonder if those are sold out....

I type up notes of books that I'm reading so I have a summary of that book to go over for future reference, as opposed to re-read the book.

Also, it's where I keep documents that I download to read, while on the go, as opposed to paying for the costs of printing them.

pickle if they are greyed out, they are sold out.

 

[Kilger]

picked up two tickets for tonights showing earlier in the day.

Well, that's not what I was asking, silly. I was wondering what your job was...

Anyways, the whole book idea is a pretty good one. I do the same thing, except I'm not so neat about it. I just 'hi-lite' and post it!

BTW, I work an afternoon shift (3-Midnight) at the hospital, and it sucks, so I know how that goes...the whole day goes by.

OT though, I bought 4 IMAX tix last week for Friday's showing at 11PM...my sister has finals, so we opted to watch it later.

I'm sorry, I misunderstood you.

I work as a store clerk in a gas station, with the hope of getting my own business in the next few months. I could have it right now, financially speaking, but I need to learn the Backoffice.

Truth, justice and the B.O. way
WB's super confident in 'Superman Returns'
By BEN FRITZ

Just how high will Superman soar?
Warner Bros. is going into the Fourth of July frame with America's most iconic character in one of the year's most hyped films.

What's more, it's backed by largely positive reviews and opening on perhaps the best date any studio has had in years: the Wednesday before a Tuesday holiday -- essentially giving "Superman Returns" a seven-day weekend.

The only potential complications: a two-hour, 37-minute running time and significantly lower, albeit still solid, interest among women. Female tracking for "Superman Returns" is about on par with that for Fox's counterprogrammer "The Devil Wears Prada," which opens Friday.

With its first summer tentpole, "Poseidon," missing at home and doing moderate business overseas, Warner could use a hit to prop up its tentpole strategy. The studio spent more than $200 million on "Superman Returns," which it co-financed with Legendary, on top of $40 million in prior development costs.

WB is aiming to ignite a franchise to join "Harry Potter" and the one it hopes it launched with "Batman Begins." Given its higher cost and lighter tone, "Superman Returns" should be able to beat the latter pic's $205 million cume last year.

However, it doesn't look likely to fly into the stratosphere of movie openings, such as 2004's Fourth of July smash "Spider-Man 2," which made $40.4 million on its Wednesday opening day and got to $180 million by Monday, July 4.

Warners is looking for an opening closer to that of last year's "War of the Worlds." Like "Superman Returns," that Steven Spielberg film was heavily hyped but not a sequel to a recent hit. Paramount's Tom Cruise starrer grossed $21.3 million its opening day and cumed just over $112.7 million by Monday, July 4.

"Superman" should bow at least as well today and, with an extra day on its calendar, blast past $112 million by July 4.

Pic started playing with 10 p.m. shows around the country. Reports indicate shows in major cities were sold out as of early afternoon.

Online ticketers Fandango and MovieTickets.com reported strong but not record-breaking sales. MovieTickets said it was selling about four times as many tickets for "Superman Returns" as it was last year the day before "War of the Worlds" bowed.

Movie bows at 3,915 theaters and expands to 4,065 on Friday. It will play on 76 Imax screens in 3-D, which many think will prove particularly popular and should boost the gross thanks to higher ticket prices.

"We're in good shape, and we have the primo date of the summer with a very long weekend ahead of us," declared Warner Bros. distribution prexy Dan Fellman. "Now it's up to the movie gods."

Domestically and overseas, the biggest question for "Superman Returns" may not be how big it opens but how well it can hold. Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" opens next week, and tracking indicates it could be the biggest pic of the year, with a potentially record-breaking opening.
