Now, you can make your date with the blue aliens up to six weeks ahead

It seems there is as much demand for Avatar tickets as unobtainium from the planet Pandora. If you get the reference, then you've seen the movie. If you don't, good news.

There's a better chance for you to buy tickets because, starting today, UA Cinemas - which operates the IMAX theatres at MegaBox and iSquare - will begin advance ticketing for the 3D blockbuster as far ahead as the Lunar New Year holiday.

In fact, they are taking bookings up to February 21 now. Three weeks after its release, the movie still boasts occupancy of 98 per cent. That's domination of Titanic proportion. Punters think Avatar will eventually overtake that record in Hong Kong too.
