Solo Advanced Ticket Sales Breaking Records

From Deadline comes news that the advanced ticket sales for "Solo" have passed "Black Panther's" first day pace. "Black Panther" has gone on to earn over $1.3 billion globally. Now I'm not saying "Solo" is on the same level as "Black Panther", but sales indicate that perhaps this film is reaching a broader audience that first thought? I myself have had friends and relatives come up to me asking about the new Solo film, and telling me they are interested in it from all the trailers or commercials they had seen. Here's to much success and remember, the actors signed up for three so if this does crazy numbers I think it is safe to say we will see a part two.

From Deadline:

After owning the first half of May with Avengers: Infinity War, Disney will own the second half with Solo: A Star Wars Story. We reported yesterday that the Lucasfilm release is poised to make $170 million over the four-day Memorial Day holiday, and now Fandango reports that Solo’s advance tickets sales in their first 24 hours have outstripped Black Panther‘s. Solo‘s first 24 hours of sales so far represent one of 2018’s best first day of presales for Fandango, second only to Avengers: Infinity War.

A Fandango survey says 85% report that Solo is one of their favorite Star Wars characters, 76% can’t wait to see Ehrenreich as Solo, and 73% are particularly excited to see Donald Glover as young Lando Calrissian.

Last night, Atom Tickets reported that Solo marked their second-largest hour of presales after Infinity War. Atom Tickets, though started in 2014, has been selling tickets for roughly the past two years. It reports from its own survey that 86% of their ticket buyers plan to see Solo with family or friends. Millennials at 50% are excited to see Glover with the age group more diverse compared to others (36% White, 34% Hispanic/Latino, 23% Asian, and 6% Black). Gen X’ers at 30% are excited to see Ehrenreich as Solo. This demo breakdown is 55% White, 13% Hispanic/Latino, 13% Asian, and 5% Black.
