The Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace, Idris Elba and Logan Marshall-Green starrer smashes ticket pre-sales at the BFI Imax theater.

LONDON – Ridley Scott’s Prometheus is proving an eye-popping draw for the BFI Imax theater in central London as pre-sales for the movie break records.


Scott’s movie, starring a galaxy of stars including Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace, Idris Elba and Logan Marshall-Green, has booked 18,287 tickets in hits first full week of presales at the theater.

It translates into £293,312 ($474,687) in gross pre-sale tickets, the highest grossing week ever.

The standalone flagship IMAX theater also reported its highest grossing first day of pre-sales ever, taking £137,000 ($221,717).

The take has beaten other high-profile IMAX rollouts in the U.K. including Harry Potter And the Deathly Hallows Part 2, Avatarand The Dark Knight.[/B]

The 20th Century Fox distributed movie marks Scott’s return to sci-fi, a genre he is credited with helping to define with his Alien and Blade Runner films.

Prometheus details the story of a team of explorers who discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.

The movie opens in IMAX with midnight screenings beginning May 31 in the U.K.

Wow impressive. Though i'm sure Batman will snatch this record if they choose to have it in iMax 3D. I am surprised that Prom has surpassed Avengers as that was also shown on Imax. Must be a smash of a movie!

I'm not sure whether that movie is interesting or not.

The studio tried their hardest to get Nolan to use it but he just said no.

I saw the trailer for Prometheus in 3D while waiting to watch MiB3 - its was quite thrilling. The movie is certainly a technical marvel. We will see about the plot.
