If you don't already have your tickets for the Thursday midnight opening of Twilight, chances are you won't be getting them.
Online ticket providers are reporting that almost 700 shows have been sold out already, and that includes the 500 for opening night.
Rick Butler, of Fandango, suggests that there's a lesson in this for Hollywood: "It's a surprise to find such encouragingly strong advance ticket sales for an independent film with no established boxoffice stars," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "That's a tribute to the power of the blockbuster novel, solid word-of-mouth...and savvy internet marketing."
