As anticipation for The Dark Knight Rises reaches a fever pitch, tickets midnight showings of the film are being scalped for between $25 and $40. In some cases, some ticket sellers want well over $100 for their ticket.
Meanwhile, the hype for The Dark Knight Rises has gotten so heavy, some fans posted scathing and threatening remarks to critics of the film on RottenTomatoes.com. The site has taken the drastic measure of closing down the comments temporarily with plans to reopen them on Friday, though in the long term the comment system could change, like eliminating the ability to post anonymously.
“The job of policing the comments became more than my staff could handle for that film, so we stopped the comments altogether,” said RottenTomatoes.com’s editor-in-chief Matt Atchity. “It just got to be too much hate-based on reactions to reviews of movies that people hadn’t even seen.”
