All set for Avatar? Somebody sure is.

MovieTickets.com has reported selling its first ticket to James Cameron's sci-fi epic four months in advance of its opening.

The Aug. 18 sale, for a movie that doesn't open until Dec. 18, marked the most advance-ticket action the advance-ticket seller has ever seen, it said.

Not to worry if you don't have your tickets. Seats for opening-night IMAX midnight shows were still available. Last we checked, anyway.
