Exactly...all Browncoats have to see this movie again this weekend, whether it is the deal breaking weekend or not. (Cause there's still overseas etc) This movie HAS TO do well!!! I've seen Serenity 4 times now and I plan on going this weekend too. Let's do the impossible guys!!

Listen up people, that goes double for you Rakarr.

So the #s are out, & they don't look as good as we might like. So? What are you going to do about it? Sitting here worrying is not going to keep us in the air. Only getting out there & buying tickets, guerilla marketing, convincing people to go, or talking the movie up online is going to get us there.

So some of us are getting scared. That's normal. I ain't saying I'm not concerned, but we can't let it bring down morale. Like Rocketjock said, if you keep looking @ numbers & whinging about them it is going to distract you from doing what you can about getting us a sequel.

Sure there was no one in the theatre w/ you Rakarr, it is Thursday, a weekday. Try going tomorrow night when theatres do their real business. I can assure you it will be different from your experience today.

I'm not asking anything of anyone that ain't got it to give. I am asking each and everyone of you to do all you can, everything you know you have in you, to help push the BDM up where she belongs. All of us have fought to long & hard to give up now. Joss, Universal, the cast, all the other fans have waited so long & given so much to get this film on the big screen. Can we do give less than 100% back to them? Could we call ourselves Browncoats if we didn't.

You think about that and you ask yourself, "Have I done all I can to help Serenity along". If the answer is no, than get your butt back out there and do what you can. If you can honestly say you have given your all, than great work. We appreciate all your effort.

Don't lose faith Browncoats. Faith and being stubborn as Whitefall mules got us this far. It will take us the rest of the way.

Hell yeah!

And don't forget, it's never too late to spread word of mouth. I've been recommending the film to everyone at my university; especially people who are acquaintances but not friends. I tell 'em I saw this awesome movie, Serenity, last weekend and they really need to go see it because it's just that good. Yesterday, I even contrived a reason to go see my astronomy professor during office hours (I totally get the course, so coming up with a question to ask was kinda tough) and after we'd developed a rapport in answering the question (don't know him that well, it's a big lecture course), I recommend the film to him. So spend as much as you can to keep the BDM flying, but don't forget to get other people to spend their bucks, too. (More people in theater also means more customers for the DVD when it comes out, so it's a two-for-one deal)

We can win this thing, we just have to work hard.

Now I'm off to see my advisor to ask about my honors thesis--and recommend the BDM.

Also note: This past weekend was Australias Highest Grossing weekend at the Box Office for 11 weeks

Deuce Bigalow garnered more than Serenity-are you kidding me? Dukes of Hazzard above that?!? What does that say about Australian movie watching preferences? OMG!

Are Australia's numbers counted in that total on the homepage of this website. Cuz if they're not, then I'll be a little calmer.

One of the main reasons this second weekend is important is the fact that the first couple weeks (sometimes longer depends on the distribution contract negotiated way in advance) the studios get a much larger cut of the ticket revenues. So our slow and steady build up of fanbase/viewership isn't going to help in the short term. In the long term yes, but we are probably looking at another 3 years before a sequel. Studio execs don't think like normal businessmen-if they did they would not greenlight a lot of the sequels (or even original movies) that they do already. For example, Deuce Bigalow 2-the sequel nobody wanted-why? There wasn't a good financial reason or any other reason either (personal fanaticism, story needed to be completed, etc.).

i can't believe you did that...

i haven't seen the movie. i didn't watch the series back in the day and my buddy got me a copy of the dvd's. i've been obsessed with them. i've watched them repeatedly in prep for the movie which i'm going to see this saturday. i found this site. i've even talked to a few folks on it. i'm saving the money to buy a resin Mal gun... i'm avoiding every single post that says "spoiler"... and then this!!

It is my understanding the #s on the homepage only reflect U.S. (domestic) box office, so it does not include the $ amounts from Australia or Canada.
