Cool I can't wait to download it

And when they're done I'll get a normal price ticket since it will still be in theaters. Some people have too much money apparently.

[–] BertramDitore@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 days ago

Yeah, seriously. This kind of hype is incredibly stupid to me.

Whose genius idea is it to sell tickets a whole year before the release?

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Bean counters

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago

Good question.

The tickets have apparently already been sold out.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Nolan is big on 70mm and wants to make it more widespread. Tickets selling out a year in advance is great publicity for that - I'd even say promoting the movie is the secondary motivation. It shows studios and theaters that people ARE interested in the format

Wow… People are really willing to pay scalped ticket prices for a movie.

[–] Pronell@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well maybe not, but others are banking on it.

That's dumb, what if it sucks?

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago

I have sprung for every 70mm Imax presentation of Nolan's movies possible as I'm lucky to live near a theater capable of it.

I absolutely can't justify buying tickets for a movie a year out. I can wait.

I'm looking forward to this one!
