The latest presale numbers for The Hunger Games tickets are out, and they’re astonishing. The film has now sold 1 million tickets in advance of its release this Friday.
Deadline shares the latest information:
Crazy speculation that Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games could gross $125 million its opening 3-day weekend beginning this Friday is more and more looking like reality. Even inside-the-studio estimates have cautiously been raised from $75M to $95+M. Already, the hotly anticipated film has pre-sold over a whopping 1 million tickets on big online sellers Fandango and Movietickets.com combined. Yesterday, the pic sold 83,000 tickets alone on Fandango.
Their report goes on to say that the success this weekend is dependent on how many screenings theaters can pack into their weekend schedule.
The box office totals should be interesting – that’s for sure!
