Here’s the word from Fan­dango:

With more than a week to go before the highly-anticipated release of “The Dark Knight,” Fan­dango, the nation’s lead­ing movie­goer des­ti­na­tion, reports that many of its pre-opening Thurs­day mid­night shows on July 17 are already sold out in cities across the coun­try, from New York to Boise, Idaho. The­aters con­tinue to add 3:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. pre-opening show­times to meet the tick­et­ing demand.

“‘The Dark Knight’ may be respon­si­ble for a lot of bleary eyes at work next Fri­day morn­ing,” says Rick But­ler, Chief Oper­at­ing Offi­cer for Fan­dango. “We’re see­ing a record num­ber of late-night show­times sell­ing out in advance, while the­aters are adding new per­for­mances every day.”

More than 1,500 late-night show­times of the movie have been sched­uled for the film’s pre-opening on Thurs­day night (Fri­day morn­ing), July 17–18, at Fan​dango​.com/​T​h​e​D​a​r​k​K​n​i​ght. An online sur­vey of more than 3,000 “The Dark Knight” fans on Fan​dango​.com over the hol­i­day week­end offered the fol­low­ing infor­ma­tion on the late-night surge:

* 37% of respon­dents plan to see the film at least once dur­ing one of the late night per­for­mances on Thurs­day night.
* 38% say that they intend to take off a few hours or the entire day from work on Fri­day as a result of see­ing the movie the night before.
* 60% of these movie­go­ers are male.
* 71% are under the age of 35.
* 39% plan to see the film in IMAX®.
* 92% expect that the Acad­emy will rec­og­nize Heath Ledger’s per­for­mance as The Joker with a posthu­mous Oscar® nom­i­na­tion next year.
