Online ticket seller Movietickets.com announced today that the second “Twilight” movie has taken the top spot on their list of the “Top 10 Advance Ticket Sellers of All-Time.” It passed the record set four years ago by “Star Wars – Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.” Even established franchises like “The Lord of the Rings,” “Harry Potter” and “The Dark Knight” couldn’t match the early sales of this highly anticipated sequel.

“New Moon” also became the top pre-selling movie ever for the other major online ticket seller, Fandango.com. Both Movietickets.com and Fandango report that the movie accounts for 94% of all the tickets currently being sold on their sites.

Fandango also points out that its second-highest ticket seller yesterday was Thursday night’s re-release of “Twilight,” which is playing in some theaters before “New Moon” debuts at midnight.

Come on people!  We need to make New Moon break all opening weekend records of ALL TIME!!   I know I’m seeing New Moon at least two times this weekend and probably another 20 times in the theaters afterwards.  Not to mention when it comes out on DVD in February.  LOL! 

I can’t believe I’m seeing New Moon tonight.  Tonight’s gonna be a good night!

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 15 /PRNewswire/ — With five more days before its November 20 release date, New Moon has already leaped over previous record-holders to become the top-selling pre-release title in Fandango’s ten-year history. The new record for Fandango’s fastest-selling film was set on Saturday night, November 14, shortly after 8:00 p.m.

The Top 5 Advance Ticket-Sellers on Fandango (as of November 15, 2009) are now as follows:

1. New Moon (2009)
2. Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005)
3. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
4. The Dark Knight (2008)
5. Twilight (2008)

Not overly shocked though! I can’t wait to see the numbers New Moon brings in over its first weekend in theaters. And maybe some announcements that may come after

Advanced tickets sales for Summit Entertainment’s sequel vampire romance “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” are going so well that online ticket vendors are reporting sellouts of the earliest showtimes at many locations. Nine weeks before the film’s November 20 release, MovieTickets is reporting more than a dozen “New Moon” performances as complete sellouts.

A Fandango spokesman said “New Moon” represents 57 percent of its recent ticket sales, with sellouts at some locations. By comparison, the coming weekend’s anticipated No. 1 picture — Sony’s 3D animated feature “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs” — is the next most popular choice of purchasers at 9 percent of all Fandango sales.

Wow! To be honest, I’m really not surprised! Haven’t heard of tickets going on sale yet any where else. Anyone hear of any locations in Canada yet? Or in the UK? Any where else at all? If so, send them to the TwiTipLine at gmail dot com!

[Thanks, JayPat, Kay, and crazy4cullens!]

Buy your tickets now before they’re all sold out!

UPDATE: After the break, check out the full list of theaters offering pre-order ticket sales through Fandango!
