    Good luck getting a ticket. It was easier to get a ticket to the MLB All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium than a weekend show of The Dark Knight.

    LOS ANGELES, July 17 (UPI) -- Thousands of U.S. screenings of the soon-to-be-released "The Dark Knight" have already sold out, the ticket broker Fandango said Wednesday.

    The latest Batman film stars Christian Bale as the Caped Crusader and the late Heath Ledger as the villainous Joker.

    Set to open in the United States Friday, the movie will make its debut with nearly 2,500 Thursday midnight showings nationwide.

    Fandango said the movie is driving 90 percent of all ticket sales on its Web site, while hundreds of showtimes for "The Dark Knight" are already sold out through the weekend

    it's all guesstimates. They look at advance sales and guess what the final numbers will be. Pretty sure it will be off a couple hundred thousand one way or another.

    And it's not selling out everywhere. you can still walk up to places and find seats. maybe it's cuz I'm in a big metro area but I just checked three theatres and you can get tickets for every showing for the rest of the day.

    Sneak in and sit where? If the seats are all sold out, there is no where to sit at.
