"Several online movie venues and one theatre chain have already begun selling tickets for Avatar, it has emerged. The trailer for the 3-D science fiction film directed by James Cameron was recently released, while it smashed records for the number of views it received. Though the movie does not open for almost four months, tickets have been made available for purchase predominately for IMAX theatres, according to Reuters. &amp;quot;Tickets being put on sale for a film four months in advance is unheard of,&amp;quot; MovieTickets.com executive vice president Joel Cohen said.  &amp;quot;The fact that tickets have already been sold really speaks to the tremendous buzz the film has already created and the power of James Cameron at the box office.&amp;quot; Fandango.com has followed suit by offering audiences a chance to pre-order tickets for opening day midnight performances only.  Avatar is released in cinemas on December 18. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
