Good News: Inglourious Basterds Takes Lead In Online Ticket Sales

On August 21st, 2009

Bad news: it only represents nineteen percent of all tickets sold online in the last few days on Movietickets.com.

The next competitors are tied for second, as District 9 and G-Force are running neck and neck with eleven percent each.

Ouch.

Look, we all knew District 9 was going to be a big deal.  It’s one of the first truly original movies to come our way this summer, based only vaguely on a short film by the original director.  There was just no way it wasn’t going to be big.  Meanwhile, along comes yet another brain fart from Tarantino, who’s clearly stuck in the seventies, doing REMAKES no less and being so transparent about them that he’s MISSPELLING THE TITLE to make it look slightly less obvious.

But considering the fact that Tarantino’s getting a run for his money from gerbils who are on like week four of their theatrical run?  That’s just a low blow.
