The "Shades of Gray" movie as a Christmas present
Attention, "Shades of Gray" fans: The presale for the movie tickets begins on Friday, December 12 in selected cinemas. Yes, you read that correctly: December 12, exactly two months before the German theatrical release on February 12th. A link on the official Facebook page can be tracked, which cinemas participate in the "Shades of Gray" pre-sale.
Post by Fifty Shades of Gray.Such an early advance sale has never happened in Germany. Is that completely crazy? Yes and no - of course you can argue about whether you have to grab for weeks before the start of the tickets for the film adaptation of the erotic bestseller. But let's face it: "Shades of Gray" is not just any movie. Fans of the book template wait so eagerly on the theatrical release as a child on the Santa Claus. And Christmas probably has a lot to do with the early ticket sales as well: "Shades of Gray" cards are, of course, an obvious gift for those who love the books - regardless of whether the tickets can be redeemed much later.
And on second glance, the early "Shades of Gray" pre-sale is a logical progression, considering the highly anticipated films of recent years. Do you remember how hardened fans used to camp in front of the cinemas for days to get the first tickets for the Star Wars episodes? Or, while we're at books, what about Harry Potter? Not only were the bookstores opened each night at each new part to celebrate a big party for the hosts of Potter readers - even the films about the sorcerer's apprentice had followers who besieged the cinemas far and wide in the costume before filming.
Do we want to do that to the "Fifty Shades" fans? Dozens of fans - dressed as Anastasia Steele and Christian Gray - have to wait for days in front of the cinema for their tickets? No, the early presale might be the better idea.
