As was the case with The Twilight Saga: New Moon last year, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is making a splash in advanced ticket sales, becoming the top pre-selling film event of the year for at least two major retailers: Fandango.com and MovieTickets.com.
Deadline Hollywood reports, “Eclipse leads the Fandango Five with over 52% of daily ticket sales, even with strong daily sales for Toy Story 3 and Karate Kid. MovieTickets.com is also reporting Eclipse online ticketing represent over 50% of daily sales.”
This report falls in line with early estimates that placed Eclipse as the probable top film of the summer and year.
Another interesting tidbit offered by Deadline‘s report states that “59% of Eclipse online ticket-buyers said they became fans of the series after seeing the first movie.”
Finally, Deadline noted some of the demographic poll results offered by these sites and the split between age groups who have purchased Eclipse advance tickets is pretty even with “33% of respondents [at] 24 or younger, 34% of respondents [between] 25-34[, and] 27% of respondents [between] 35-49.”

59% said they became fans after seeing the first movie….means more than
the book buffs. Rob and Kristen did this.
I LOVED it!!!! I don’t know what the critics are saying and it really doesn’t matter to me. And if you’re a Twilight fan… I think you’ll love it, too. Eclipse had elements of both Twilight and of New Moon all put together in a nice way. It’s fast paced and will keep you glued to the screen, so get all your popcorn, pop, go to the bathroom, etc., etc., ready before the movie starts.
