Big-Screen Concert Films Starring Celine Dion and Hannah Montana Selling Out on Fandango.com

Los Angeles (PRWEB) December 14, 2007 -- Indicating a strong fan interest in seeing entertainment events on the big screen, two concert films are among the top ticket-sellers this weekend at Fandango (www.fandango.com), the nation?s leading moviegoer destination.

Celine Dion: A New Day ?One Night Only is the exclusive big-screen version of Dion?s Las Vegas engagement (closing Sunday night after nearly five years of weekly shows). The concert experience plays at movie theaters on Monday night, December 17, for one show only. In many cities, the evening is already sold out.

Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour in Disney Digital 3D (capturing the sold-out 54-city Hannah tour) plays for one week only, starting February 1, 2008, but advance tickets are already selling at a brisk pace.

?There?s an untapped audience hungry for a new form of entertainment at their neighborhood movie theaters,? says Rick Butler, COO of Fandango. ?Fans are increasingly turning to Fandango and our theater partners as an alternative and more affordable way to see sold-out performances they otherwise could not attend.?

On the feature film front, Will Smith?s I Am Legend represents 58% of all Fandango weekly ticket sales. (Nearly 1/3 of Fandango?s Legend advance ticket sales are for IMAX screens.) Alvin and the Chipmunks is satisfying the craving for family entertainment this weekend, representing 14% of tickets.
