THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Already Sold Out 6 Months Before Actual Release!

The Dark Knight Rises fervor is beginning to take it up a notch as midnight IMAX screenings are already selling out. And if you're not down with that, I've got two words for you, Deh-shay, bah-sah-rah!

Advance purchases for the midnight IMAX screening of The Dark Knight Rises in New York have completely exhausted the supply. Advanced tickets in L.A. and San Francisco are also very, very close to being sold-out so if you live in those areas and want to see the movie early, don't delay in buying your ticket. EW suggests that residents in other areas of the U.S. may want to keep checking Fandango as W.B. probably won't officially announce that tickets have gone on sell in additional areas.

Release Date: July 20 2012 (USA)
MPAA Rating: Unknown
Starring: Christian Bale, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, Marion Cotillard, Juno Temple, Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman

blvdnoise - 1/10/2012, 5:53 PM

Of course..

Sosa4693 - 1/10/2012, 5:56 PM

Thats pathetic in my eyes, obsession isn't a good thing.

redleaf - 1/10/2012, 5:57 PM

It's okay HellBound. You can watch Avengers in 3D. That help Marvel them beat TDKR.

Howlett - 1/10/2012, 6:05 PM

Hobbit my ass The Dark Knight will rule 2012.

ScarletSpidey - 1/10/2012, 6:16 PM

As well it should be. Nice Billy Gunn reference btw. ;)

Ranger14 - 1/10/2012, 6:16 PM

Yes, because it is so difficult to sell out 3 IMAX theaters, each in a major city. What is that? About 300-400 tickets each? There are plenty enough fan boys in each city that would buy tickets to achieve that accomplishment. Whoopty doo! Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill.

Ranger14 - 1/10/2012, 6:19 PM

....and I would say the same about the Avengers, Spiderman and Man of Steel. Of course fanboys of these films would all purchase tickets as far ahead as possible and there are more than that in each city.

jf11mm - 1/10/2012, 6:22 PM

WOW!!

Supes17 - 1/10/2012, 6:32 PM

"DAMN THESE BITCHES ARE SELLING FAST!"

kingmonkeyman - 1/10/2012, 6:37 PM

@jf11mm Did I offend you because you already spent your allowance or because thats what your Mom refers to your birthday as.

CuteAsian - 1/10/2012, 6:39 PM

grif kinda turns me on in a weird way :o

batmanrises - 1/10/2012, 7:04 PM

Of course it sold out... Recognize, bitch.

Ryguy88 - 1/10/2012, 7:06 PM

Wow, a lot of people seem pretty upset about this news. That's funny, yet sad.

RyanLantern77 - 1/10/2012, 7:09 PM

Eat shit marvelites

UnscrupalousSmurf - 1/10/2012, 7:09 PM

You're a huge poser dude. Hopping on the Nolan hate bandwagon, I see?

Spidey91 - 1/10/2012, 7:38 PM

they're already selling? o.O
and how many tickets are we talking about?

Supes17 - 1/10/2012, 7:42 PM

I don't want to pick sides in this argument, but..

DCfan89 - 1/10/2012, 7:46 PM

i really want my ticket now

Spidey91 - 1/10/2012, 7:47 PM

by the way,that chant over there...is f*cking annoying :P

I know it's pretty impressive and everything,good for Batman and all,looking forward to it and such....but goddmammit! the last thing we needed was an ego boost for the Nolanites ¬¬

batmanrises - 1/10/2012, 7:48 PM

That's what I do Supes17 ;)

ArtisticErotic - 1/10/2012, 7:50 PM

Numbers don't lie.

40oz - 1/10/2012, 7:52 PM

Hellbound is butthurt.

redleaf - 1/10/2012, 7:57 PM

So is Intruder. He's in denial-mode. lol

Spidey91 - 1/10/2012, 8:04 PM

@ArtisticErotic

err,I don't want to sound like a troll...but what numbers? because I don't see any in this article.

batmanrises - 1/10/2012, 8:04 PM

LOL @ Lord Death Man

Ryguy88 - 1/10/2012, 8:04 PM

Ha, Intruder is so worried about this advanced ticket thing that he's running around checking other sites to make sure it's no too big a deal. Don't about it man, I'm sure The Avengers will do well too.

THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 1/10/2012, 8:07 PM

I am excited for this film but this is getting over-hyped to the point where even if the movie is great, it wont meet the standards of what people say it will be
