Critically-acclaimed 'A Star is Born' rushes to the front of the line as an early Oscar contender

Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's 'A Star is Born' is definitely well on its way to the top! From what we hear, presales for the tragic love story are outperforming previous Oscar contenders among Atom Ticket app users, including 'The Big Sick', 'The Shape of Water', and 'Call Me By Your Name'. The film has been a much-awaited one, especially by Gaga's monsters who get to see their queen in a brand new, refreshing avatar -- it's not everyday that Gaga goes completely au naturale!

The films presale success could also be connected to the huge success that movie musicals have seen in the last couple of years. For example, 'La La Land' swept everyone away and made  $446.1 million worldwide while it was at it.
