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!

Ain't no place I can be since I found Serenity...

Dukes of Hazzard had the Jessica Simpson thing going, but Deuce? That's a big drunken rental if I'll see it.

Given the freedom to do so, anarchy will result in an organic organization unto itself.

It beyond incredible for no other reason than it's been out for quite a few weeks--how the hell is Deuce higher than a new release (combine that with the fact that it sucks harder than a certain 'blonde' woman going before the U.S. Supreme Court). I am seriously aghast at that notion because that is seriously hurting whatever positive image I have of Australia and said residents' artistic sensibilities.

Well BrowncoatMonk, Serenity actually did better in Australia than in the US Comparatively, when you take into account population and exchange rates!!!!!

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!!

i mean... what firefly fan isn't going to be fluent in l33t?

my heart is broken. i'm not angry... just so very disapointed. i know i'd have found out when i went to see the flick, but i'd have rather found out on my own. for shame... shaaaaaaame! *points the finger of shame*

I'm a firefly fan and I have no idea what l33t is. or how you just look at that code and know what it means. Don't you have to click it or something. Forgive my ignorance, but I just don't see how you saw a spoiler by looking at that without clicking it or something.

Never mind I see it. It took me a while to figure it out. I ain't that bright. Sorry.

To agree with others, we shouldn't just rely on the DVD sales. What happened with Firefly was unique, we shouldn't expect to see it again. Grab some friends, get your family and go see it one last time. We've got to do something. I have a feeling that Universal (and possibly other studios) will be watching how the ticket sales go. Universal took a gamble taking Joss on and they probably want to see some immediate results. Joss himself probably used up a lot of favors and contacts getting this movie going. If we're not careful, there might not be another Firefly movie, or possibly even another Joss Whedon movie.

A fear of mine is that Serenity will become the "Swingers" of the 2000's. A movie that hardly anyone saw, but everybody loved.

But you're forgetting an entire part of the world has yet to see this film, and that CAN change everything.

I may be showing my age, but what the hell. Does anyone remember the movie Highlander? Came out in like 1985, and I really liked it. Problem was that, oh 99.9999% of America really didn't. Then the movie opened in Europe, and it kicked some serious ass. What happened then? Highlander 2:The Quickening, Highlander: Endgame, a TV series, etc.

So, long story short, it's looking like North America isn't getting it (I so hope that changes this weekend). So Europe, Australia, Asia, please bail us out again! We're counting on you!!!

I've stepped up. I'm gonna hold.

Take a look at my "Money Where My Mouth Is" thread.

I'm not saying my way is right for everybody, but I know this: it's already convinced at least one "I'll wait for the DVD" guy to make a special trip to the theater this weekend. I hope he's the first of many.

If you're expecting this weekend to rescue the franchise, you're in for a big disappointment. The drop will be more than 50% and probably 60%.

I'm just thankful I have the Firefly DVD set. It will have to quench my thirst as I don't plan to buy the Serenity DVD.
