Sept 27 (Reuters) - Advance ticket sales for the latest
James Bond movie at UK-based cinema chains Odeon and Cineworld
were at levels last seen in 2019, setting it up to be
the biggest opening since the pandemic gripped the industry.
Odeon said on Monday it has sold more than 175,000 tickets
for "No Time to Die", the latest instalment in the spy series
set to hit the big screen this week. Cineworld said it marked
its highest pre-selling film since Marvel's superhero movie
"Avengers: Endgame" in 2019.
