"Inception" Extracting 52% of Fandango Ticket Sales (as of 7/15/10 1:00 pm PT)
Inception, from Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan, accounts for 52% of today’s ticket sales on Fandango, the nation’s leading movie ticketing destination.
In an online survey on our Inception ticket-buying page, we asked moviegoers why they were interested in seeing the film.
Here are a few of the Fandango survey results:
· 93% said they were more intrigued to see Inception because so little had been revealed of the film’s plot.
· 82% are interested in seeing Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance.
· 81% said they were fans of Christopher Nolan’s work.
· 66% said they were tired of the summer sequels and reboots.
· 41% of respondents are female.
We’ll be at Comic-Con in San Diego next week, so please feel free to call us for observations or commentary from the floor.
