Fandango have released some press about Revenge of the Fallen ticket sales, which makes up approximately 21% of all movie tickets currently being sold by Fandango.
With less than two weeks to go before its June 24 release date, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is already seeing brisk ticket sales on Fandango, the nation’s leading moviegoer destination. Currently, the film represents 21% of ticket sales on Fandango (as of June 11 at 9 am PT).
According to an ongoing Fandango survey of moviegoers planning to see Transformers 2:
* 81% of respondents say Megan Fox is the one star they’re most excited to see in the new movie.
* 76% say they are fans of director Michael Bay.
* 72% say the IMAX presentation of Transformers 2 will be an important part of their moviegoing experience.
* 71% of respondents are 18–34 years old; 68% are male.
“Fans are already scooping up tickets for Transformers 2’s opening week showtimes, especially for the IMAX screens,” says Ted Hong, Chief Marketing Officer for Fandango. “The movie is garnering some great Internet buzz, and filmgoers are clearly ready for another action-packed summer popcorn movie. With Transformers 2, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Ice Age 3, Public Enemies, Bruno, G.I. Joe and other highly-anticipated movies opening within a few weeks of each other, it looks like a banner year for the movies.”
The two videos we showed you just now are named “Drums” and “Stomp”. Next up are three new Revenge of the Fallen TV spots, presumably aimed at kids given their titles and nature.
Let’s roll kids
Team Kids
Lots of new snippets in this one:
I’ve also noticed that the pyramids are starting to look a bit more weird, more artifacts rotating around them and a gaping hole at the top:
We’ve got two more TV spots for you, I think these are numbers 9 and 10, named “Drums” and “Stomp”. Updated with higher quality videos.
Drums
Many flashes of new action moments in this TV spot. Including Prime and his swords, Starscream landing at a construction yard, a bit more of the Megatron vs Prime fisticuffs and an explosion with Long Haul in the distance and a wheel flying off him.
G4 have posted a massive 16 minute walkthrough of the Revenge of the Fallen video game, working through as either Bumblebee or Starscream. A boss fight with Devastator is also included.
The German dubbed footage of Wheelie attempting to steal from Mikaela and being caught in the act is now available in English (with Japanese subtitles). Turns out Wheelie is an incredibly feisty little robot, I’d imagined he’d be quite timid.
First web chat date?
