We're back in the Top 25 Bestselling DVDs! Currently #19! It is even higher on the list than LOST Season 1! And it is the oldest release DVD in the Top 25!

We're too pretty to die I guess.



Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

Take that seasons 1-3 of 24 :)

Firefly is, at least on amazon, F*X TV's best selling DVD.

currently number 16 even

all nice and all, but i fear that fox is seeing most of the money, and joss and co hardly see a dime of it :(

i heard finding nemo dvd sales grossed more than at the boxoffice, 400 million.

the way firefly is selling, its making tens of millions too, wish all that money would go to universal instead so they have their 40 million investment for the movie back so joss can already start working on the sequals

In a way, that money is going to Universal. Not directly obviously. But for every person that buys a DVD, you get a new movie-goer. And the average new flan probably converts about 4-5 friends each. So this is free advertising for Universal of the very best kind. And Fox does deserve some credit for making the show in the first place. (Yeah, I know, I should stop trying to be generous and admit that they are stinking piles of poo! Ahem.)

No, only 20th Century FOX (who supported Firefly) is getting the money. The Fox Televison Network (totally different company than 20th Century) isn't seeing a dime of it.

What's more, I don't claim to know the byzantine working of Studio accounting, but I'd be very surprised if Whedon and various members of the production didn't see some money from DVD sales.

The Firefly DVD at Amazon.com is now saying it will take 5-7 days to ship. Yesterday it was at 24 hours. I think they at Amazon underestimated the Browncoats or at least the demand.

Actually, MartinG, most movies these days are making more money on DVD sales. Ticket sales are way down, but DVD sales are shooting up.
