Launched in Vietnam on December 18, tickets for the 3D version in the first week at Megastar Hanoi were sold out three weeks ago. There is only one projection room in Hanoi and five in HCM City for the 3D version with five shows a day. Meanwhile, young audiences in Hanoi want to wait for tickets to see the most modern techniques in the 3D version.

Thuy Trang, a 23-year-old mPR girl in Hanoi, was very happy to buy two tickets after a long wait: “A pair of tickets is 300,000 dong, double the normal price, but I’m satisfied because I will see a work that is praised as the “wonder of all wonders.”

Bui Dung, 28, a reporter who watched “Avatar” several days ago in a special show for journalists, still queued on December 18 to buy tickets.

“I think this movie has many things to watch. I believe that I will discover more in the second show,” Dung said.

Sharing Dung’s view, famous film director Ngo Quang Hai said he would buy tickets to watch this film several times. “Watching ‘Avatar,’ I felt shocked,” he commented. “Though I have a vivid imagination, I was surprised that James Cameron could produce such a super work.”

In HCM City, “Avatar” has become a phenomenon at all Megastar cinema complexes.

“We are very surprised to see such a huge number of people at our cinemas. It is even more surprising that the tickets for the 2D version are also sold out,” said a representative of Megastar.

To have 3D tickets, audiences must book them at least ten days before the show.

“Avatar” will urge Megastar to build more 3D projection rooms in Vietnam.
