Fandango recently polled those who purchased The Hobbit tickets in advance.  Here’s some of the interesting results the site found:

· 91% of respondents have seen a previous Lord of the Rings film;
· 81% have read at least one of J.R.R. Tolkien’s original books;
· 90% were glad to see original Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson back to direct The Hobbit;
· 73% were also fans of the Harry Potter franchise while only 27% considered themselves fans of the Twilight franchise;
· 72% are happy that The Hobbit story spans three different installments;
· 61% claimed Jackson’s high-frame-rate technology made them more curious to see the movie.

Tom Hooper’s Les Miserables is currently in second place on the ticket sales website.
