Watchmen’ To Be Zack Snyder’s Most Successful Film?

n case you're looking for some sort of proof that "Watchmen" stands to be the most anticipated comic book adaptation of all time -- beyond the bombardment of 11th hour marketing for the flick (some of which might be considered a felony) -- than look no further than the numbers.

According to a MovieTickets.com press release issued today, "Watchmen" is currently outpacing director Zack Snyder's previous comic book work, "300", by a margin of 4-to-1 with regards to advance ticket sales. Likewise, the release also notes that roughly a third of those sales are for IMAX screenings, which is newsworthy since only 124 IMAX theaters will be showing the film during its opening weekend.

MovieTickets.com is quick to note that Snyder and the crew behind the "unfilmable" adaptation should hold off any celebration for now, since "300"" sold a vast majority of its advance tickets on the Wednesday and Thursday before it's wide release. However, given that we're seeing these numbers so early in the week, and that the buzz surrounding "Watchmen" is currently at a fever pitch, odds are that "Watchmen" may not only be Snyder's biggest box office triumph, but could find itself among the top comic book movie earners of all time in terms of its opening weekend take.

In any case, you know your ever-faithful will be all over "Watchmen" as we get ever-closer to Friday's wide-release. source>>>
