Although I am disappointed, I do think it will be a good idea to get Star Wars out of the way first. Not that I thnk "Star Wars" itself will be a threat to Serenity, but I think the marketing of Star Wars will be.
Already in my local cinema we get minutes long trailers for Star Wars, which isn't going ot be here for another six months. Every time I go to the cinema, I get the crappy trailer, and I expect the intensity of the marketing to increase and increase as they try to create interest in this tired old series.
BNy the time April comes peopke will be so p**sed of with & tired of "space" movies that they won't bother to go... unless they are diehard Browncoats like us.
So, although I'm disappointed at having to wait so long for our BDM, I'd rather have it released in a slot which gives it the best chance of success.
Just mho.

Here is my $0.02. (if posted already apologies, but I only got through the first 80 some posts)
I think this is a bad decision.
1. It puts the movie after hitchhikers and star wars. People might be "spaced out" come sept. People will compare it to the 2 pervious movies. Hitchhikers has a great story and star wars will have the CG FX. It would have been better had the "non-converted" seen Serenity before any of the other sci-fi blockbusters.
2. After the summer blockbusters is not a good time to release a movie. Inevitably they will compare you the summer blockbusters (mindless fuzz) or the potential oscar nominees which are coming out. Serenity will be out of the first and not up to the latter.

my personal spin...
i'm heading overseas in Feb and was going to be nowhere near a movie theatre for at least 6 months, now maybe i have a chance at seeing the BDM at the actual cinema! (I was planning to pay for tickets anyway... assuming it's coming to Aus around the same time.)
but i'm still incredibly disappointed that the story itself won't be out there for another 6 months. (do I need therapy?)

DAMMIT!!
Joss, I have SEVEN little words for you:
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
*wretch*
-qs
p.s. for those of you who don't get the above, that was 2004's spring movie that was pushed back to September. Can you think of any movies this most recent September that did beaucoup bucks? That made $100 million? Help me out here. Gag.

Here's a thought...maybe there is no movie.
Has anyone seen any real proof that this so-called movie isn't just an elaborate hoax? Anyone seen any new footage? Where are the trailors? Sure we have plenty of posts from Joss and selected members of the cast, but nothing concrete, nothing real.
We know Joss was a big Kerry supporter, so a flip flop on the release date should have been expected. But some of those Kerry people lie. Maybe the whole movie is a lie. Truth is there is no movie...just like Star Trek Nemisis, no movie at all.

Well, considering that your juice is currently in excess of 7 months rotten, it bloody well should have 'added meaning'. It should mean "Drink me and die!"

You know, as awful as it may be for us, it's still coming out, and I was VERY worried about it going head to head with Episode III. Like you don't even know. So apart of me is somewhat relieved, and this really is all for the best. Just gotta keep telling ourselves that.

I know this is a bit late but I linked this announcement on digg.com, if you're a user dig the story... more awareness about firefly can only help.

Just saw this tonight when I went to IMDB to check on the status :(
I am depressed, that's SO far away. It carries so many other delays with it...
How will the movie be recieved?
Will there be a sequel?
Will the show come back?
I think it's a good idea to move it back from the April slot, as that's when Episode 3 comes out, but I mean... if people are in the Sci-Fi mood, keep them in it. I don't see why more people would see it in September. People will be just going back to school, the summers over... I dunno doesn't seem that sound of a decision to me.
Oh and I have a dumb question... is it true that Joss is being forced to make 2 more movies if Serenity does well instead of bringing the show back? Because if that's true it's BOLLOCKS. That means we have to wait until we see how Serenity does, then if it does well (which it will I'll see it 50,000 times if need be) then we have to wait another 2 years or so for the second one, and more for the third... UGH. Someone tell me it aint true :(
