Buy 'Tar" Now

James Cameron hyped sci-fi action epic Avatar doesn't hit theaters until December 18th...Tix are already on sale



Such a move is unheard of and early sales are said to be going "healthy" according to spokessuits for online film ticket seller Movietickets Com

Over 75 AMC locations, most of them equipped with IMAX 3-D, began selling tickets starting last Friday, to coincide with Avatar Day.

Its unclear if any other theater chains will follow AMC's lead in offering early advance ticketing on the film. At present, no-one can offer anything but tickets for the first midnight performances.

Further show times will not be determined until the film's running time is locked, early estimates put it between 150-180 minutes. Yikes!

Based on some reaction to the footage already screened--The geek gurus over at G4tv were said to be "unimpressed" and EW said Close, but no cigar... and my gut feelings after seeing the teaser trailer--I'm not buying into the hype on this one just yet...If ever..
