Fandango’s Alive & Kicking

Interesting factoid: Online movie ticketing service Fandango was responsible for over 16% of Sex in the City opening weekend ticket sales. While it didn’t surprise me to learn Fandango moved 10% of Star Wars Episode III tickets (it’s a geek crowd), the percent of Sex in the City sales is notable (as is the fact that people still patronize the multiplex). Though they seem slightly surprised to learn women are capable of utilizing web technology… “Internet ticket sales for Sex and the City have been nothing short of extraordinary for a female-driven picture,” says Rick Butler, Chief Operating Officer for Fandango. Wonder how many (how few) bought these via TiVo?
