Enthusiastic film fans queued for over 50 meters in front of Shanghai Studio from 11 o’clock the night before to be \'first in\' for their choice of movies.
Apart from the 26 appointed cinemas, an equally large number of tickets were booked through the four appointed ticket agencies – TICKET2010.com, TICKETS.com.cn, GEWARA.com, and MOVIE.DOUBAN.com.
Many film fans used their iPad to book online while also queuing in front of the cinema.
By 3pm yesterday, 60,000 tickets had been sold by the 26 appointed cinemas, grossing nearly RMB 4 million. Forty-two sessions are sold out. Compared with last year, when 50,000 tickets were sold on the first day, this year has seen a rise of more than 20 percent in sales.
Fans Queued Overnight
The rich diversity of films scheduled in the Film Panorama series has attracted the most attention and tickets are now extremely hard to buy. In spite of the four web-based ticket outlets, those who were not prepared to rely on the internet arrived early to queue in front of Shanghai Studio.
With many people still working on Saturday before the Dragon Boat Festival, a lot of white-collar film fans queued overnight to be sure of buying tickets before going to work.
“The first year I came at 8am and waited for five hours to get the tickets. The second year I came at 3am in the early morning but still didn’t get what I wanted. This year I’ve finally bought every ticket I wanted, and I’m going to work soon,” said Mr. Wang, who started queuing at 11pm the night before. He bought more than 30 tickets, including for I Served the Kind of England.
Additional Sessions Possible
Tickets for such popular films as Shoah and Lawrence of Arabia were bought quickly at the start of sales. All sessions of Top Gun 3D, Beasts of the Southern Wild, and The Taste of Saury have sold out.
Tickets for 赌博app are on sale until the festival closes, and the Organizing Committee will make The 赌博app Handbook widely available for free to film fans at major subway stations and inside some business buildings. The Committee will also attempt to organize additional sessions of popular films.
A tip for fans: people may choose to buy tickets at the nearest appointed cinema and avoid queuing.
IMAX Becomes a Major Focus
The IMAX View program will screen, among others, Transformers II, Transformers III, Life of Pi, and Inception. Also to be shown in this section is Top Gun 3D, which has only been screened for six days in the US in February this year. This is the film that established Tom Cruise\'s reputation and won box office takings of US$350 million.
The IMAX screen represents advanced film technology and has become one of the most important motivating forces in the development of modern film. With the inclusion of an IMAX program, this year’s 赌博app has thus adapted well to this trend.
