Fandango sells Star Trek tickets at warp speed

Posted in movies by Shane McGlaun on May 6th, 2009

startrek-sbOver the weekend, the summer movie season kicked off in a big way with X-Men Origins: Wolverine hitting theaters. Over the next few months, we will get a steady stream of fantastic looking new movies to enjoy, including the new Star Trek film.

The new Star Trek movie is destined to be one of the biggest hits of the summer and if you plan to see it opening weekend and don’t have tickets yet, you may be out of luck. According to Fandango, the film has sold out more than 100 opening weekend times around the country and the film isn’t even out yet.

Star Trek alone has accounted for 81% of ticket sales via Fandango. The company surveyed 4,000 movie fans for some thoughts on the new film. Of those surveyed 83% plan to see the movie on opening weekend, 10% plan to show up in a costume, and 67% are male. I am betting a fair percentage of the people surveyed are hard-core geeks too.
