Fandango.com reports that:
James Cameron’s Avatar currently represents 87% of weekly ticket sales on Fandango, the nation’s leading movie ticketing destination. The highly-anticipated 3D adventure, opening tonight at midnight, has already sold out hundreds of showtimes across the country, from Buford, Georgia to Roseville, California.
Currently, Avatar is outselling Star Trek in advance ticket sales at the same point in that film’s sales cycle – a significant achievement considering that Avatar is a true original (not based on a TV show, novel, comic book, toy or previous movie). Avatar tickets first went on sale on August 21, 2009.
