I don’t know why this is big news today, we all knew Twilight was going to be a huge hit. Anyway The Hollywood Reporter reports that Twilight ticket presales are off-da-hook.

“Online ticketers Fandango and MovieTickets said Monday that the Summit Entertainment film has sold out hundreds of performances four days before its Friday opening in about 3,400 locations. Fandango has sold out almost 700 shows — including 500 or so midnight Thursday screenings — and MovieTickets counted more than 400 sellouts of various showtimes. ‘Twilight’ accounted for more than 85% of presales in recent days, the ticketers said.”

Is there even any other movies opening this week? Yes, Bolt a kids animated comedy, what a stupid move by Disneyfor going up against this. However, it is not as stupid as the big Hollywood movie studios that passed on Twilight, including Paramount and Fox Atomic. Read how they lost out here.
