Twilight selling out early
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
According to THR Twilight tickets are selling out quickly:
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.
Even if Twilight opens well will it be able to beat out last week’s fave Quantum of Solace? Also opening this week, in more theaters with a broader fan base, is the 3D animated Bolt. I have a funny feeling all of the tweenie-boppers and their moms will be happy with the performance of the little vampire film that could come Monday morning.
What does that mean to the rest of us? Sequels with more sparkle in the sunlight (huh?) non-blood drinking (double huh?) vampires.

Based on the best-selling novel by Stephenie Meyer, Twilight focuses on two young lovers, swept away by destiny, who destroy the delicate balance between the hunter and the hunted with dangerous consequences.
