The Dark Knight Rises (Julio 20)

[gonzalo MX]

Fun fact: Movie theaters have a lot of input into when they want to sell tickets to films showing in their theaters.

After the success of The Dark Knight Rises IMAX prologue, which previewed before Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, some theaters apparently thought that they could continue the momentum of the high ticket sales motivated by Dark Knight Rises fandom, by selling advance tickets to the actual premiere of the film this upcoming summer. As it turns out, they were right.

With still half a year to go until its official July 20th release date, The Dark Knight Rises has already sold out the IMAX midnight premieres in both the AMC Loews Lincoln Square theater in NYC, and all but two handicap slots at the AMC CityWalk theater in LA, according to Fandango. Both locations have 70mm IMAX theaters – the preferred “true IMAX” screens that Christopher Nolan insisted be given exclusive rights to the TDKR prologue – as opposed to the newer digital IMAX screens, which don’t make full use of film shot on IMAX cameras.

No doubt many Batman fans are already making advanced plans to see Nolan’s third (and final) chapter in his Batman movie trilogy; but based on this latest news, you Batfans out there may need to plan WAY ahead and start looking into advanced ticket sales at your local theater…right NOW. Round up your friends (preferably the die-hards, they’re more reliable) and start collecting that ticket money; to front the cash – you don’t want to be stuck in a six-month wait (and deal with potential dropouts) before you’re able to recoup your investment.

If you’re the type of moviegoer who isn’t rigid about what kind of screen you see your movies on, digital IMAX or regular prints of Dark Knight Rises should be sufficient to meet your needs. But be advised: to get the full scope and grandeur of this film, you will need that 70mm IMAX screen – and those technically savvy moviegoers out there are already striking first to secure themselves a seat in those specific theaters.

You’d have to be living in the most remote place on Earth not to know that Dark Knight Rises is going to be THE most anticipated film event of 2012 - but I don’t think a lot of us figured on it being THIS big. Unless you live in a very small town, and/or are content with a standard print of the film, and/or don’t need to see Dark Knight Rises immediately upon its release, don’t wait until July (or even June for that matter) to go “Hmmm, maybe I should by my tickets…” Because if things continue in the same vein as this current time, by summer you’ll already be waiting a week (or more) before you’ll find a seat in the theater.

The Dark Knight Rises will be in theaters starting at midnight on July 20, 2012. Hopefully there will be a spot left for you on opening night.
