The top 25 advance-online ticket sellers of all time? We have the list! (Guess who just broke in at No. 25?)
Got some e-info from MovieTickets.com this morning, on the heels of Michael Jackson's concert/memorial movie This Is It breaking into the top-25 list of all-time online advance ticket sales.
No numbers are announced; Hollywood doesn't work under a Sunshine Law compelling full disclosure of anything. But the list is pretty interesting:
