Watchmen doesn't open until Friday, but Fandango -- the nation's leading moviegoer destination -- is already seeing strong advance ticket sales for the film, comprising 61% of all sales.
Advance tickets for director Zack Snyder's Watchmen are far outpacing advance tickets sold for Snyder's previous movie, 300, at the same point in that film's sales cycle. Dozens of midnight Thursday night showtimes for the film are sold out on Fandango, from Albany, Georgia to Dublin, California.
Over the weekend, Fandango surveyed nearly 1,000 moviegoers planning to watch the Watchmen. Among the findings (as of March 2 at 11:00 a.m. PT):
-- 60% have read the Watchmen graphic novel;
-- 85% say the online Watchmen clips and trailers made them more excited to see the movie;
-- 57% plan to see Watchmen with a group of friends;
-- 71% are planning a get together before or after the movie;
-- 85% had seen director Zack Snyder's previous movie, 300, on the big screen;
-- 73% are male; 65% are 18-34
