Hence the word of mouth thing -- if we want a second weekend, there has to be a first weekend to get the word out. Sorry, guess I wasn't too clear. Trailer to sell the first weekend; after that, the film's going to have to stand up for itself. Somehow I think it'll manage.

Wow! Tons of great replies! I guess I was looking for someone to allay my concerns. I certainly feel better.

True, repeat viewings are key to any movie's success. Given the fact that repeat orders for the DVD sets were very high, this should not be a problem, although most were probably for loaner sets. I have no doubt the Browncoats will make the opening weekend a success. And the next one.... And the next one.....

Thanks to all for getting involved.

Stay Shiny!
Wes

After I levered my jaw off the ground I had one possible worry from the trailer.

I don't think we'll have to deal with too many compromises. It does look like there will be sound in space, and I'm a little grieved about that. It wasn't just a good scientific decision in the show. It was a good artistic decision that they used very well several times.

But you know what? I think I can sit back and just deal with it. :)
Sound in space and cinema-physics haven't hurt my appreciation of other sci-fi movies (unless it really stretched credibility enough to take me out of the moment).

OK, this pretty much confirms what whoisriver has been saying. I don't know if this was posted elsewhere, but the link was on Whedonesque. No spoilers here, just a taste of what to expect.

Actually, static, i believe they rob from the rich and SELL to the poor. Supporting the "bad Guy" point even more...
