Fandango released a statement saying, "This is an extraordinary time for the industry, which experienced unprecedented ticketing demand last night for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens". The enthusiasm for this year's most anticipated movie is out of this world and we expect it to continue all the way to its debut on Dec. 18."
Some theaters are already sold out, most of those being IMAX theaters.
Not only did the upcoming "Star Wars" film sell more tickets in its first day than "The Hunger Games", but it outsold them by eight times the amount.
Countdown to the release of Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens with the The Movie Hype App.
