“Fifty Shades of Grey” is extremely popular in the South.
According to reports, Mississippi has bought four times as many tickets to Fifty Shades of Grey than any other state in the country.
The highly-anticipated big-screen version of E.L. James‘ best-selling erotic novel is selling more advance tickets than the average in many Southern and Midwestern states, according to Fandango. In particular, pre-sales for Fifty Shades are nearly four times better than average pre-sales in Mississippi, the online ticket retailer added. Sales are, similarly, at least two-times better than expected in Arkansas, West Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama and Louisiana. [via]
Fifty Shades of Grey hits theaters on Feb. 13 and it is already the fastest-selling R-Rated movie in recent history.
