Top Ten Movies for Presale Tickets

When I write about Hollywood (http://www.obriennewsservice.com, and on Associated Content and others, too) and talk about it on my radio show on AM 1240 WSDR, Sterling, Il (and rockriverradio.com), I usually refer to it as the business of show. I focus on that, for the most part. If all I did was the gossip, I would have given it up 20 years ago, not long after I jumped into this gig. I try to stay away from the weddings, babies and the break-ups. So, when a movie like "Harry Potter" and "Breaking Dawn' come out, I am intrigued, to say the least. Not because I will go to "Breaking Dawn" and swoon over it, but rather the storyline about the business side. And this is big business. As I went into the weekend, I gathered information, like usual, about the box office, the Midnight showings, and moved on. Then this came to me, thanks to MovieTickets.com.
As I was talking about the advance ticket sales on Friday, I did wonder who is the leader of the pack for presale of tickets. It will be just another angle in the never-ending box office stories I already delve into - - and love. Here they are. The all-time winners of presale tickets:
1. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2"
