S'all good, it's been a pain in the ass to me in the past when I've been wanting to check how busy a movie is when I've already booked it 🤣

yep exact same issue  Now an extra couple clicks to deselect unlimited card, add an adult ticket and then move on

Exactly! It's a real pain haha

Saturday evening at the BFI IMAX all booked!

It's the earliest we can all squeeze in this 3-hour behemoth. 

It's gonna feel like a long wait to watch it even though it's just a day later.

Bob Iger getting to work lol. 

 

Just kidding, a big start to the final marketing push around MNF is what they do for Star Wars fairly often and given the launch window of Avatar they are obviously using that play book.

Marketing finally getting cranked up to 11.

suprise suprise, the cast are extremely confident (in that fandango interview) that the movie will be as groundbreaking as the first.

 

Sigourney thinks its even more mindblowing visually than the first one (surprise surprise)

Booked our tickets for opening night in IMAX 3D. 
 

An additional £1 surcharge for Avatar on top of what Wakanda Forever and Black Adam tickets cost on their opening weekends.

Is it time to buckle in for the concern trolling about Avatar 2's relatively low presales, or will they be good enough to assuage the hand-wringing do we think?

It seems to be selling rather well in PLF. It’s no MCU/SW film on that front but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was more than TGM/JWD day 1.

Yeah that was annoying. Some of my friend don´t want to watch in IMAX 3D now because the price is just too much now. The price hiking is annoying for the consumer

Had a quick glance, and this is what the IMAX at Leicester Square London currently looks like for the 7PM showing on opening day of Avatar 2:

 

This, by the way, is the only showing on opening day that has more than 20 seats sold. For comparison at the same point (first day of tickets sales, that is) Star Wars 9 had sold out its opening day showings, and both Avengers 4 and Star Wars 7 had almost sold out their opening weekends at the same screen.

 

At £121m, Star Wars 7 is still the highest grossing movie in the UK. The movie was showing 24/7 for opening weekend at Leicester Square. (Yes, there were screenings at like 3:30AM that were sold out!)

One thing I'm loving about today (beyond finally having Tickets) is that we have for the first time ever after 13 years of debate, quantifiable and visible data about the demand for this. And its looking mighty positive from what I'm seeing. 

[Lucas]

Earliest public screening here is December 14 at 00:01. Absolute psychopaths seeing the 3+ hour movie at midnight on a weekday.

 

*books ticket.

Getting good seats for this one so important that I booked 5 tickets for it before any of my friends said they could make it.

I don't see any point in  handwringing without a good comp.

You can't compare AVAtar 2 to Star Wars 7. Those SW movies have a legion of fanatics. Avatar fanatics are not that many. The movie will not open to SW standards, but it will have good legs once the word spreads that Jim has done it again
