It doesn't open for another nine days, but midnight screenings of The Dark Knight have all but sold out in many US states.

The New York Times reported that tickets to the latest Batman movie were so sought after theatres were scheduling extra screenings at 6am on opening day - July 18 - for those who missed out on tickets to the midnight and 3am screenings.

Midnight screenings are no longer an unusual event when it comes to much-hyped films, but all-night sellouts in advance of a movie opening are almost unheard of.
