Imagine if the movie were sold out and your only alternative was the Powerpuff Girls movie. That's a storyline that would scare even Stephen King! If you go to the virtual box offices of Fandango, Movietickets.com or Moviefone, you can avoid such sorry sojourns to the cinema. Those sites are already selling "Goldmember" tickets, and you know you've got a blockbuster brewing if the Net is selling tickets two weeks before the box office does. Opening day for the Austin Powers "threequel" is July 25.
