Best Time for Release of Serenity?

Saturday, May 15, 2004 3:08 PM

Okay, I know we're all stoked about the potential for competition btw Serenity and Star Wars, but I was curious, when does everyone think the best time for Serenity to be released would be?

My point is that Tons of movies are released in the summer - more than probably any other time of the year, and therefore it is hard for even good movies to stay at number 1 more than one week in a row unless they appeal to wide group of ages (ie Shrek, Nemo). However, Fall and Spring are notoriously horrible movie times w/ either bad dramas or bad comedies. Wouldn't it be better to see Serenity released among these so that it would enjoy a long run at number 1 and long run in the theaters and demonstrate it's money making power? Look at lord of the rings after all. It's been many years since a summer flick enjoyed those kind of numbers (Total Recall in fact, was discussing this with a friend yesterday).

So I'm actually hoping for production delays so the movie can come out in fall (even though I'm impatient as hell to see it!!).
