Information from Movietickets.com seems to indicate a lot of pre-release interest in the upcoming films ā€œX-Men Origins: Wolverineā€ and ā€œStar Trek.ā€

As of Wednesday, MovieTickets.com is reporting that ā€œX-Men Origins: Wolverineā€ is currently outpacing ticket sales for ā€œIron Manā€ 3-to-1 at the same point in the sales cycle (nine days prior to the film’s release).

ā€œX-Men Origins: Wolverineā€ releases Friday, May 1, 2009. ā€œIron Manā€ released in 2008 on Friday, May 2.

ā€œStar Trekā€ is moving at even a faster pace. Despite releasing a week later, ā€œStar Trekā€  has already sold 25% more advance tickets at MovieTickets.com than ā€œX-Men Origins: Wolverine.ā€
