Sellouts continue as Transformers 2 release nears
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has moved to No. 20 on MovieTickets.com‘s list of Top 25 pre-sellers of all time, passing “Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” and “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” among others.
MovieTickets.com reports more than 1,000 sellouts as of 6 p.m. Eastern, including 600 midnight screenings. The movie currently accounts for 93 percent of tickets sold at MovieTickets.com.
On the other hand, a few reviews have started coming in, including from Roger Ebert, who, to put it mildly, didn’t like the movie. The film is tracking at 28 percent at Rotten Tomatoes. Most print reviews are embargoed until tomorrow, so that will affect the number. The question is, in what direction? Check out NewsOK.com and The Oklahoman tomorrow for our own review of the film.
