Today I also received a note from MovieTickets.com telling me "the number of tickets sold by the company in January 2015 were up 37% over January 2014. The extraordinary first month figures are led by advance ticket sales on American Sniper. Fifty Shades of Grey has also been a very brisk seller, currently trending #1 at MovieTickets.com with 42% of all tickets sold by the company in the last 24 hours being for the film coming to theaters next week.

Fifty Shades of Grey has unveiled a risqué new Valentine's Day-themed teaser ahead of its impending cinema release.

The screen adaptation of El James's erotic novel by director Sam Taylor-Johnson also features Luke Grimes, Rita Ora and Marcia Gay Harden in supporting roles.

Dornan recently opened up about the pressure of playing Grey, admitting that he fears being physically harmed by angry fans of the novel.
