Hunger Games Sees $15 Mil-Plus in Advanced Ticket Sales

Fandango's elite list of Top 5 Ticket Presellers has been dominated by Harry Potter and The Twilight Saga, until today.

Today, the No. 4 spot is held by The Hunger Games, which has grossed a little over $15 million in ticket presales, overtaking The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1.  It's projected that by Thursday, it will pass The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 and take the No. 3 spot. 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, this has led some box-office observers and exhibitors to think that The Hunger Games will have one of the biggest domestic debuts of all-time, projecting it to open anywhere from $130 million and $140 million. It's already expected to surpass the $116 million opening of Alice in Wonderland (2010), making it the biggest March opener to-date.
