Online ticket seller Fandango is reporting that The Twilight Saga: New Moon has sold more pre-release tickets online than any other film in the provider’s ten-year history. This of course, has nothing to do with the predictions of the Myans and the upcoming apocalypse, despite popular opinion.

According to a press release sent out yesterday, the record was achieved on Saturday evening around 8:00p EST. Thousands of Thursday night midnight showtimes for New Moon are already sold out across the country, from Albany, Georgia to Yuba City, California. Yet New Moon tickets continue to be available. To meet the fan demand, the nation’s top theater owners are regularly posting brand new showtimes on additional screens.

The top 5 Advance Ticket-Sellers on Fandango (as of November 15, 2009) are now as follows:

  1. The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)
  2. Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith (2005)
  3. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
  4. The Dark Knight (2008)
  5. Twilight (2008)

You can stay tuned late in the week, as we will be seeing and reviewing New Moon on Wednesday evening. Trust us, we’re looking forward to it. In the mean time, we must know: do you have your New Moon opening weekend tickets yet?

    In about 20 years time, when these teenage twilighters become twilight mum's and start showing thier kids these films, they will become considered cult classics, just like the Goonies. My God, I've had enough if it already I dread the Twilight retro craze in 20 years.
