'Twilight' shows selling out fast

Some people got upset with me because I wrote "Twilight" has generated almost - if not more - buzz than "The Dark Knight," but considering all the madness around the upcoming vampire romance, I don't think it's that much of a far-fetched statement.

Sure, "Twilight" didn't beat "The Dark Knight" in terms of advance ticket sales, but then again, nobody went on a bloody rampage to see Christian Bale at an autograph session. Plenty of Twilighters did..

Anyway, Variety reports close to 2,000 shows are already sold out, including 600 midnight shows! Over at Fandango, the film climbed to No. 7 in the list of best advance ticket sales.

I welcome you to tell me I'm wrong, but isn't this insane? I mean, this is not a sequel to a popluar blockbuster or anything like that. It's just the first flick based on a novel about the love between a vampire and a girl.

Potential estimates for this weekend's opening for "Twilight" are between $45 million and $60 million, but I sincerely believe the movie could bring in a lot more. Many curious people out there who don't consider themselves Twilighters may see the film to just check out what the fuss is all about.

Now, who among you all already has their tickets to a showing this weekend? Excited? Sound off below!
