Watchmen is the Film to Watch

Watchmen 2009Though it was not feted that much during the Academy Awards, Watchment is slowly proving to one and all that it is the movie worth watching. Watchmen doesn’t open until Friday, but Fandango is already seeing strong advance ticket sales for the film, comprising 61% of all sales on Fandango, the nation’s leading moviegoer destination.

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.

As a bonus, moviegoers purchasing tickets for Watchmen or Watchmen: The IMAX Experience on Fandango will receive a free download of bonus content on iTunes, including the first chapter of Watchmen Motion Comics plus a sneak peek of Watchmen: Tales of the Black Freighter.
