Well, I saw a Serenity countdown on a sample desktop in a computer magazine. That made me really happy.

Is anyone else preparing their troops? I'm starting to gently coerce family, friends and nodding acquaintances into first week attendance ('You love me, right? And do you want to know how you can prove it to me?'). I'm hoping to get around 10. And then if the film is any good at all - actually, even if it isn't - I'll go a couple more times myself for good measure.

If everyone who bought the DVD managed to get 12 people along to the box office in the first week, the film could be on its way...

Keep in mind that a HUGE publicity push with commercials, trailers, etc. could even work against the BDM in the form of public backlash. I.E. some guy who wasn't a fiefly fan getting all worked up over trailers and leaving the theater saying "What the ???" Word of mouth and internet are the way to go. Besides, if Joss & co. released a half a dozen sequels striaght to DVD, I'd be happy with that...

I am planning on growing a big black moustache. I'm a traditionalist.

I've been doing that too. I think I've got at least 9 people right now, and hopefully I'll be able to grab a few more once school starts. I'll see it more than once myself, and I'm pretty sure at least four of them will too.

I live in the UK and so far publicity has been pretty limited. Again stuff has been shown on the sci-fi channel.
I read Empire and that has had a couple (albeit small) of articles. Each one has been positive though. If they have written about it then it's possible that other magazones have as well.

I personally think/hope that the movie will be what's called a 'sleeper'. Good reviews and word of mouth put a minor release into a box office hit.

Think of films like, The Usual Suspects, Trainspotting and countless others. None of these had major A-list or even B -list stars at the time.

Hell, even the original Star Wars wasn't expected to do much.

Here's hoping.
