Fathom Events, which provides the theater experience, does not have numbers from last night’s simulcast shows but Dan Diamond, VP of NCM Fathom tells TVNewser the event sold-out in multiple theater locations across the country.

“Ticket reports indicate this was another very successful one-night Glenn Beck event with NCM Fathom,” says Diamond. “If anyone missed last night’s event, they only have one more opportunity to see it next week.” The show will return to theaters Wednesday.

Beck has incorporated the road show into his repertoire since his 2007 bestseller “An Inconvenient Book.” In June of 2009, Beck brought his “Common Sense” comedy tour to several cities, which was simulcast in movie houses.
