Proving he still has the magic, Harry Potter's fifth movie installment, has earned a leading place on the MovieTickets.com all-time advance ticket sales list. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix has exceeded advance sales for the summer's earlier blockbusters such as Transformers and Spider-Man 3, and is neck-and-neck with Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.
"Harry Potter really began picking up steam earlier this week and is tracking to become one of our best-selling blockbusters. This May was already a record-breaker in terms of ticketing volume, and now with Harry Potter 5 and other hits like Transformers, MovieTickets.com is going to experience our biggest summer ever," said Joel Cohen Executive Vice President and General Manager, MovieTickets.com.
