Avatar sells first ticket – four months in advance

AVATAR

According to a report from Movietickets.com, James Cameron’s “Avatar” sold its first ticket on the site August 18.  That’s exactly four months prior to its Dec. 18 opening in theaters.

According to the site, that’s the earliest a ticket has been sold prior to its release in MovieTickets.com’s nine-year history.

“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, in a release.

Movie fans, what do you think? Are you already pumped for “Avatar”? Have any Nerdage readers already bought their tickets? Let me know.
