UPDATE: ‘Dark Knight’ hot ticket on IMAX
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
As expected, summer’s most anticipated action film — “The Dark Knight” — is heating up advance ticket sales. Some 71 percent of tickets sold on Fandango.com last week were for the Christian Bale-Heath Ledger Batman vs. Joker movie, which officially opens Friday.
But the hardest ticket to get is for the IMAX screening of “Dark Knight,” which has six sequences filmed with IMAX cameras, a first for a major feature film.
All 20 screenings of the Batman movie from late-night Thursday through Sunday are already sold out at the IMAX at the Buford Mall of Georgia. Your first opportunity to see the film on the giant screen is at 12:20 p.m. Monday.
Fandango.com shows 10 sellouts for “Dark Knight” for late-night Thursday at regular theaters and megaplexes with 35mm prints, Hollywood’s standard format.
There are 72 late-night 35mm screenings set so far for tonight at 35 metro Atlanta theaters. Most are just before or just after midnight. There are already two screenings set at 3:15 a.m. Friday — at Atlantic Station and the Regal theater at the Mall of Georgia, the theater which is also showing the film on IMAX. Atlantic Station also has a 35mm screening at 4:15 a.m.
Do you plan to see “The Dark Knight”? Do you want to see it at the IMAX, at a regular theater in 35 mm or in both formats?

My friends and I bought our tickets online for the IMAX showing the day Fandango back on 6/24 - major excitement about seeing it on the big big screen.

While I am a Heath Ledger fan, I’m not a fan of Batman movies, so, no, I probably won’t go.
As a child, I loved the TV series with Adam West.

Already purchased regular DARK KNIGHT tix through Fandango for next Friday. Would have loved to have seen it in IMAX, but $15 was just way too steep a price in my opinion. If I love it as much as I think I will though, may have to spring for IMAX on 2nd viewing!

I cannot wait for this film, and I’m excited to hear that there is such interest and heavy pre-sells for it. That can only help with the creation of more great movies from more great artists like Chris Nolan. As excited as I am, I’ll be seeing it the following Monday at a regular cinema. Plan on a follow up visit to the Imax theater in a month or so.

I can hardly wait to see this. I want ot see it on IMAX so if I have to wait for tix I will.
I like Heath Ledger just fine but I am soooooo into Christian Bale. It only makes the film that much better with both - they both are willing to do anything to make a role work.
And, I love The Batman….
