The online ticketer is poised to announce tomorrow that its second quarter was the best quarter in the company’s 12-year history, with ticket sales up 28% year over year and traffic up 26%. Mobile traffic is up 107% year-over-year, and 27% of ticket sales during the quarter came from Fandango’s mobile site and app. The news comes as the company finalized a partnership with MSN during the quarter, joining recent pacts with Yahoo and AOLMoviefone as well as with movie chains AMC, Regency and Carmike. It also comes during the period when Marvel’s The Avengers bowed and became the third-highest-grossing domestic release of all time.


The AVENGERS performed so strongly that not only did it keep the movie industry afloat when other big films could’nt perform up to par but it single handedly lead Fandango to a record breaking quarter. When you get that kind of performance out of just one film(when it normally takes 3 strong films or so to accomplish this), you know it’s extremly powerful. It single handedly carried the box office for a month before other hit films arrived to carry the torch.
