New moon selling out already!!

"Twilight" fans better get their "New Moon" tickets before it's too late!

Although the next installment in the vampire-romance movie franchise doesn't hit theaters until Nov. 20, nine weeks from now, tix are already selling out in online presales.

In fact, more than a dozen "New Moon" showings have been completely booked through MovieTickets.com, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

And a Fandago spokesperson told the trade paper the second film in the undead saga, based on Stephanie Meyers' best-selling books, represents 57% of its recent ticket sales, with sellouts at 50 locations already.

In comparison, this weekend's anticipated No. 1 movie, Sony's 3-D animated kid flick "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs," is the second most popular seller at just 9% of all Fandango's sales.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, MovieTickets.com also surveyed Web users about which holiday release they're looking forward to the most. While James Cameron's anticipated sci-fi masterpiece "Avatar" handily swept the competition with 67% of the vote, a strong 33% can't wait to sink their teeth into "New Moon."
