For those of you who haven't pre-ordered your Revenge of the Fallen tickets, time is of the essence if you want to see the film any time in the next few days, with many midnight showings already sold out.

Here are some facts and figures on the pre-sale, courtesy of Michael Bay's blog.

Sold-out midnight show times (on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning) can be found all across the U.S.A., in cities such as New York, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Albuquerque, Denver, Houston, Nashville, Orlando, Colorado Springs, Tulsa, Fresno and Buford, Georgia.

Exhibitors are continuing to add 3:45 a.m. or 4:00 a.m. show times on Wednesday morning to meet the fan demand.

Currently, the film is selling twice as many tickets on Fandango as the original Transformers sold at the same point in that film’s sales cycle (two days before release date).

The movie currently represents 87% of today’s ticket sales

And as we noted yesterday, TF 2 showings at 500+ theaters in China are sold out 1.5 weeks in advanced.

This info can't be right. When I went to the UK opening day, there was only about 20-30 people in the actual screening. Hell, my sister's boyfriend pointed out that that surely "couldn't have been the Transformers crowd" and he isn't even into the details of the TF Franchise (he likes the movies but collecting ain't really his thing since he's in his 20s. Helped me buy Demolishor, Dirt Boss and Ransack so it's not a bad thing). Although, I do kind of live in the Back'O'Beyond of Scotland. Oh well, I'm just glad my American buds can get into this movie before it sells out (both on YouTube and here). Hope you enjoy the movie guys, I know I did!

I already got my ticets for the midnight showing as well. Is there anyway to track which theaters/ showings have sold out??? Even though I already have my tickets reserved, I would just like to know how big of a crowd to expect and how early I should show up for a good seat. I guess I could always just call my theater and ask!!!

Initial reviews are not looking good. Great robot battles. Storyline is for the sh*ts. Reverse of the first film. National paper gave it 2/10 stars.

Go have fun and enjoy it if you can. Never mind what the critics think.

I'm going @ 3:30p.m. on Friday. Pre-ordered my Imax tickets when I showed up to Seibertron and saw "Tickets going fast!"

Wish I could see it tonight but I gotta work nearly nonstop between 2 jobs between now and Friday

Glad to see we could be of help.

I remember in 2005 going to see Star Warps Episode III: Revenge of the Sith at a midnight show and the craziness there. My theater had it running on four screens and 3 of the four had sold out a WEEK prior.

There was no way in hell I was going to see a 2.5 hour movie at midnight. I'm going tomorrow at noon with my dad--he's almost as excited as I am! Can't wait!

I ordered my Imax tickets (4 in total) for the 10pm showing on the 24th 2 days ago. When you order, you can pick your seats, and it looked like about half the theater was taken up already. I'll have to see what it looks like tomorrow. It's a big deal for us to get our Imax tickets in advance, we have to drive an hour to get there and getting shut out would really suck. Better safe then sorry.

I got my tix for the Arclight here in Hollywood. You don't have to wait in line, you can choose where you want to sit, and scheduled will be costumes and props on display from the movie as well as the cars!!!! I hope the New Camaro is there as well as the Stingray.

Previous shows here have been fruitful, Iron Man had the suit on display. Darknight had costumes worn by Christian Bale and the Late Heath Ledger.

Also, the Statue of Bumblebee is suppose to be on display over at the Universal Citywalk. FYI B-)

I got my tickets for both the midnight showing and the noon showing last week. Just saw it, it kicked all kinds of ass. Can't wait to wake up and see it again!!!
