Avatar Tickets Already on Sale Online
MovieTickets.com and Fandango.com started selling tickets for Cameron's new film on Friday, which was dubbed "Avatar Day" which featured hundreds of IMAX theaters showing an extended reel of the film.
The sites were selling tickets for midnight screenings in over 75 AMC theaters last week, many of them for IMAX theaters. Sales on the sites were considered to be, "healthy."
"Tickets being put on sale for a film four months in advance is unheard of," MovieTickets exec vp Joel Cohen said. "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."
It was said that AMC came up with the idea to sell tickets this early, but it wasn't clear if other theater chains will follow suit. Avatar is scheduled for release on December 18.
Avatar was released December 18th, 2009 and stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Joel Moore, Giovanni Ribisi, Michelle Rodriguez, Laz Alonso. The film is directed by James Cameron.

I agree with luca. If this was a brett ratner movie, people wouldn't even bother talking about this. It has nothing to do with talent.

All the hype for this movie is just because of the director's name.

I will buy my ticket on December 18th at the door. It's no use paying more money, four months in advance, for a ticket I can buy, forty minutes before the show.

I'm not sure what AMC is, but we deffinatly have IMAX theaters in Canada. And I totally agree with you, 4 months in advance is really unnecessary!

AMC doesnt even have IMAX theatres in Canada, i love AMC but they dotn carry it here, only another company does.....so they are selling tickets for this movie 4 months before its release WOW i dont care what anyone thinks, thats outrageously odd and unnecessary
