I guess it worked because they seem to be sold out where they decided to do this. They just didn't do it everywhere only in certain cities. They should have allowed all major cities that had IMAX theaters to do the same.

Yes...and now they're all sold out. I still like to wait at least a few days to go see something this popular because it's so crowded at first. Unless it's a school day and I can get into the first showing...I don't go until it's been out a week or so.

well it is one of the most anticipated movies this year, it is being talked ,,criticized and a lot is expecting so much on this one,, selling tickets early is just what it needs to because of it's huge audiences and fan base that is anticipating this one
