AQUAMAN Outpacing VENOM In Advance Ticket Sales On Fandango; Sets New All-Time Record For Atom Tickets
Fandango has informed us that advance ticket sales for Aquaman are absolutely through the roof, having already eclipsed Venom. Plus, Atom Tickets has set a new record for most advance tickets sold ever.
While Warner Bros.' Aquaman, will undoubtedly face heavy competition from the likes of Disney's Mary Poppins Returns, Sony's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and Paramount's Bumblebee next month, if these advance ticket sales are anything to go by, then the underwater DC adventure may have little-to-nothing to worry about.
Fandango has announced today that within twenty-four hours of tickets officially becoming available yesterday, Aquaman has already managed to eclipse pre-sales for both Sony's Venom ($80.2M opening) and Paramount's critically-acclaimed Mission: Impossible - Fallout ($61.2M opening).
While advance ticket sales are not always an exact indicator of what might happen on opening weekend, this turnout is definitely a promising sign for the studio moving forward, especially after the hit they took on Justice League, as it seems that fans all across the country are still very enthusiastic about seeing the next chapter in their still-burgeoning DC cinematic universe.
Meanwhile, Atom Tickets is reporting that the James Wan-directed superhero feature is now their top advance ticket seller ever in its first 24 hours, topping the record set by Avengers: Infinity War earlier this year. However, it should be noted that these numbers are slightly inflated due to the inclusion of tickets sold for the recently-announced Amazon Prime early screenings on December 15.
Fans who purchase their tickets on Fandango, using their Fandango VIP Accounts, will also receive five free digital comics (including AQUAMAN #1) from DC Comics as gifts with their ticket purchase. Plus, diehard fans can even order exclusive gift cards featuring a badass image of Jason Momoa as the titular king.
From Warner Bros. Pictures and director James Wan comes an action-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, “Aquaman,” starring Jason Momoa in the title role. The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime—one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be…a king.
