Some interesting numbers on Twilight pre-sales, from Variety via MovieTickets.com:

As of 12 p.m. ET Monday, “Twilight” has already sold out 389 performances at MovieTickets.com, including more than 140 this past weekend alone.

TOP-20 PRESELLERS
Four days prior to its release, “Twilight” is already No. 20 on MovieTickets.com’s Top-20 Pre-Sale List of All-Time.

TICKET SALES
As of 12 p.m. ET, “Twilight” accounted for 85 percent of tickets sold at MovieTickets.com on Monday.Variety also notes that more than 500 midnight shows on Thursday/Friday are sold out, and theaters are adding more. Ticket pre-sales are outpacing those of High School Musical 3: Senior Year.

In other words, if you don’t have your ticket yet for this weekend, it could get kind of rough. Are there Twilight ticket scalpers out there? I’m sure there are…

Bonus: The New York Times had a little interview with Robert Pattinson in the Sunday edition and a story about the Pattinson mall tour on Monday (OMG!! The Times is such a Twilighter!).
