Our test markets and advance screenings are off the charts
test markets and advance screenings? Hmmm... makes sense they would want to test it with non fans, but how'd they keep that under wraps? We Browncoats are an inquisitive bunch
.Shiny, shiny news!

Wow that is by far the best news I've heard all week. It would be great if we could get some summer movie exposure.
Though this does put a kink in my plan of converting people in a chain reaction sorta way. Some of my friends just aren't the mass viewing kind of group. So I was going to lend dvds to one. Use them as a testimonial to others and have them pass the dvds along to the next convert. Might have to think of a plan to pick up the pace now.
Very shiny news though. Thanks Static!

But we'd have our serenity !

This is amazing Static! What level is your contact? Mid-management, upper management? How reliable do you feel your source is?
I just want to jump up and down, but I want to make sure this is really what it sounds like!
Shiney, Static. Thanks for keeping us in the loop!

Static, do you have any contacts to get information on premiere night events? I'm talking to the theatre people, but if this whole thing is going to be accelerated, I'd better put it into hard burn!

For those of you who asked...
My 'contact', a (guy named Vinnie), works in the Division of Universal Films that is responsible for the distribution of films.
These are the guys that spend their days looking at numbers and determining that THIS movie should go to THIS theatre, while THIS movie should go to THIS theatre. . .and THIS theatre should get 8 prints, while THIS theatre probably only needs 3.
(Da Vin Man) and I have been talking since the movie finished filming, so I could try to LOCK Serenity into one of the theatres owned by an acquaintance of mine. Fortunately for me, Bill, the owner of several theatres, has a very good rep with Universal and a very good business relationship with (The Vinmeister), so I didn't have to 'introduce' these guys.
(Vincenzo) has been pretty confident the entire time that Mission Valley would be a good venue for Serenity and the current numbers are proving that to be true.
Face it, folks...Serenity is kicking ass and taking names and it hasn't even truly 'left the gate' yet. 'Versal suits are kicking themselves right now for pushing it back now that they've discovered they could have run our beautiful boat all over the big screens ALL SUMMER when folks have nothing to do but go to the movies.
For those of you who want to try to arrange for a specific Venue in YOUR area. . .the number to call is THIS:
[MOD EDIT: It goes without saying, but I'm going to say it anyway -- if/when you call this number remember that you are representing browncoats everywhere, so please be polite and friendly and enthusiastic, not 'lunatic fringe', dong ma?]
214-360-0022
Speak to an operator and tell them you want to talk to the distribution rep for your city.
Keep flyin!

Wow, Static, this is just great! I'm going to follow up on that number and make sure we get Serenity in one of the best theaters in the state of NJ.
Thanks for this info. I had been calling the theater trying to get manager and have had no luck.
This is what I needed. Thanks!
