But how many other massive films have you tried to buy a ticket for showing on Christmas Eve 5 days after its release date? It's only really odd if you have something to compare it to. On the rare occaisions I have bough advanced tickets for massive films I've never had problems getting seats for shows 3 or 4 days after release, days after they start selling. Plus the target audience for that time of day during a school break don't really have credit cards to buy their tickets. It's not really up to them if they can skulk off to the cinema when other family plans may be or are being arranged (I'm sure this doesn't make a huge dent in the numbers but it is one consideration)

I stand my my original statement, I never said the movie was going to flop or anything of the sort. But yes, I think that on Xmas Eve at 11:30 in the morning, when everyone (including college and high school kids, a lot of whom probably do have a debit card if not a credit card) are off school, with tickets at $5.00 each for arguably the most anticipated movie of the year, and as I said literally only 4 or 5 seats sold including the one I bought, is very strange. Sorry if that ruffles your feathers.

Not ruffled at all. I always found it's the first 1 to 3 days where there was any limited choice of ticket
