Like usual, the first 15,000 tickets to San Diego Comic Con 2011 come with a pass to attend Preview Night (a four hour block full of retailers and presenters that takes place on Wednesday night, the day before the con opens). Those 15,000 full weekend tickets go on sale during Comic Con, and last year they sold out in October.

This year, they were gone by the end of the weekend. Wondering why? We decided to take a look at some movie schedules.

The weekend before Comic Con 2011:

The Last Harry Potter Movie

The weekend of Comic Con 2011:

Captain America

The weekend after Comic Con 2011:

Cowboys & Aliens

Movies coming out in 2011 after Comic Con 2011:

The Smurfs
Underworld 4
Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1
Mission: Impossible IV
Sherlock Holmes 2
The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn
The Greatest Muppet Movie Ever Made

Movies that Will Be Coming out in 2012, before Comic Con 2012 (production will have begun, if not finished):

The Avengers
Men in Black III
Star Trek 2
The Spider-Man Reboot
Batman 3

Soooo, yeah. We can see why next year’s preview night might have some gems.

Im Done with Comic-Con

ughghghgh!!!!! Comic-Con has sold out to the movies… this is the reason why Comic-CON sucks soo bad these days.. it’s only about the movies and not about Comics any more… …Comic-con should change there name to Movie-Con since it’s all about movies…
the man

Thats only because comics suck anymore and havn’t been good in a long time. While on the other hand movies have been thriving more than ever, especially ones based on comics or other sience fiction concepts. I’m sorry you could’nt get a ticket to comic con (I did’nt either). And I truely am sorry that you think that the same old, dragged on comics are still good even if YOU have to follow twenty different comics just to keep up on the so called twist about the same character. Especially spider man. I mean come on, REALLY?

14 of the Best Geekiest Beers

Given beer's pervasive place in human history, it's not surprising that the geeky pastimes of drinkers would eventually rub off on the beers themselves. The result is a veritable cornucopia of nerdy beers, 14 of which are right here.
