Tickets are being sold for the long-anticipated Blade Runner sequel, Blade Runner 2049, which is set to open across several markets (including the U.S.) in two weeks.
Blade Runner, of course, is another big film that Harrison Ford starred in the 1980s, but unlike the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises, it didn’t get an immediate sequel.
With the film’s release a mere 14 days away, online ticket-seller Fandango got a jump Friday on the countdown hype surrounding the Blade Runner 2049, and started selling advance tickets to the film.
A big opening is exactly what Blade Runner 2049 needs, since the film has a reported $185 million production budget, an extraordinary amount for a film rated R (by contrast, the R-rated Mad Max: Fury Road was budgeted at $150 million).
