Hundreds of tomorrow night’s midnight show times for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen have sold out, and the film makes up 76 percent today’s ticket sales at Fandango.com, according to information from the company.

Tulsa is among cities with sellouts; also included are New York, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Albuquerque, Denver, Houston, Nashville, Orlando, Colorado Springs,  Fresno and Buford, Georgia.  Some theaters are adding 4 a.m. screenings to handle demand.

The film is selling twice as many tickets at Fandango as the first “Transformers” at this point in the sales cycle.

And Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf, while popular, don’t appear to be the only draws. A poll at Fandango of more than 2,000 moviegoers planning to see “Transformers 2″ indicates a majority  of them would see “Transformers 3″ without LaBeouf or Fox.
