If you want to see one of the first showings of “Twilight,” you’d better buy your tickets now. Or already have ticket, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The big-screen adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling novel is selling out midnight showings across the country.  Ticket sellers Fandango and Movie Tickets reported yesterday they’ve sold out 700 shows for the vampire movie. Many of the showings are midnight openings and other popular times during opening day for the movie.
“In the age of big, studio tentpole pictures, it’s a surprise to find such encouragingly strong advance ticket sales for an independent film with no established boxoffice stars,” Fandango COO Rick Butler said. “That’s a tribute to power of the blockbuster novel, solid word-of-mouth on the movie’s early screenings and savvy Internet marketing.”
“Twilight” will open in theaters this weekend on 3400 screens.
