It seems that many tickets have been bought in bulks.

Look at the distribution of bought seats in a movie theater. It doesn't make any sense:

PS I wonder whether that happened in Captain Marvel or Black Panther too, but nobody noticed the pattern because nobody was paying attention. The difference is that this time people were paying attention to it.

I poked around my local theaters' websites out of curiosity. Found no suspicious patterns, although it appears not many tickets have been sold. Each theater has pretty much one showing, in the 6-8p range, each night of opening weekend that's mostly full, but not sold out. Every other showing is half or less.

I'd believe there's something to those suspicious patterns; if I were a news site reporting on them I'd probably want to go deeper so it didn't look like pure conspiracy. Try contacting employees at those theaters, see if anyone's willing to cough up what's going on etc.

I absolutely believe this goes on. But in my theater, virtually no pre-sale tix have been sold at all.

I just checked mine. Thursday 19 you have 19:00, 20:00 and 21:00 sessions that are half-filled, but the rest of the weekend they haven't been sold neither.
