On the front page of this site it shows the box office stats for Serenity. It shows a continued decline. Although during Monday-Thursday not a good chance of there being a lot of people going ot the theatre. For one they are school nights and I think most people work more during the weekdays than weekends. Anyways not surpriseing to see the huge decline for Monday and Tuesday showings.

Well I'm scared. I went and saw it for my 2nd time earlier today and instead of it being nearly packed, it was nearly empty. I guess this weekend will really tell us how well the movie is going to do in theatres.

According to this site this weekend will be the determining factor weither or not we get another movie or season. If that is true, then that scares the hell outta me. Imma expect Serenity to be #1 overall in box office of earnings 7th-9th. But I don't think it will get a lot more than it did the 30th.

Can this weekend really be the determining factor weither or not we get another movie or season? I mean what about the DVD sales? Hell the DVD sales will probably bring in more money. Plus the movie hasn't come out in other countries yet. I don't see how this weekend will decide the fate of the franchise.

Anyways saw it my 2nd time finally. Seemed much shorter though 2nd time around. draged my mom and her boyfriend along. My moms bf loved the movie, but he wasn't much of a fan of Firefly back in 2002. He really liked the writing and directing of Serenity a lot. I figure he didn't care for the series much cause not even half the episodes were writen by Joss from what I understand.

Well it was fun to see again. Not sure if I'll see it a 3rd time in theatres. I'll surely watch it plenty when I get it on DVD. Absolutely to the point where I can remember every line of the movie like I can with some others. Though paying $5 ($7 if after 5pm) for a ticket, $3.75 for a larg soda that makes me have to go pee so badly at the end of the movie, and $5 for a larg popcorn, altogether being $13.75-$15.75 not includeing if I'd decide to get some candy, wich if I would then would be $18-$20 total if I went and saw the movie a 3rd time. Don't think I want to spend that kind of money ono a movie I know every thing about and the shock and awe is gone.

What I mean is that this 2nd time seeing it when \L/@5h d13b (In code to avoid spoiler)it wasn't really shocking (since I knew it was coming) and I didn't feel as sad. And the suspense after that when the rest had to fight Reavers off wasn't really there. Still honest movie and still pretty darn funny and mighty shiney!

Friend, let me tell you - the box office means nothing for "Firefly" or "Serenity". Remember, the series was kicked off the air, then sold in the top 10 of all TV series DVDs.

Even if by some chance the movie does not meet expectations in the theaters, we know that the DVD movie sales will be exceptional.

Oh, and I know quite a few fans who couldn't hit the first weekend, and will paying there dues soon. Keep the hope. And just remember...

Hello tullyano7,

I checked your link and it showed serenity in 6th not 8th place.

I guess this weekend coming will be the make or brake time.

To quote Dune:
"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain."

That's actually a good figure. I was in Australia for the last week, and I saw LOADS of tralers for Cinderella Man, a couple for Wallace & Gromit, and one for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but none at all for Serenity.

It's opening here in the UK tomorrow, with previews at some cinemas from today. Be interesting to see what our weekend looks like.

By the way, I thought I heard that the figures from all the prescreenings were going to be included in the opening weekend figures? oes anyone know if that actually happened?

We all need to go this weekend.
I personally do not want to rely on projected dvd sales to see if there will be a sequel.
Eat before you go.
Buy the small soda.
Get to the theater this weekened.
I know I am going again, and dragging people with me, kicking and screaming all the way. (Not really. They won't scream.)

i think people are saying this weekend is the determining fact, is because most movies drop a vary large percent in totaly earning there second week. if we make another 10mil or in that territory i think we will have done good.

to paraphrase our Capt:
Fox said they could cancel our show forever.
We made then choke on those words.
And that makes us mighty...

or something like that.. can't quite remember
