Watchmen Movie Already Setting Records

"Watchmen" is going to debut in the most theaters for an R-rated movie.  The Hollywood Reporter has posted that "Watchmen" will be playing in 3,611 theaters.  Of those, 1,600 will have midnight showings Thursday night.  Zack Snyder's "300" had the second highest first day gross.  We'll see if "Watchmen" can beat that.

It also looks as if "Watchmen" won't have a lot of competition this weekend.  Fandango, an online ticket agency, stated that 90% of its advanced ticket sales for the weekend are for the movie.  Imax's website crashed as a result of high traffic.

I can say that I'm glad I got to see the movie already.  I suggest you try to get your tickets ahead of time.  I'm sure come Monday morning, we'll be reading about another record being broken.
