I've attended the same showing at the same theater for 2 consecutive Fridays and it looked to me like my second was at least as well attended as the first.

It's exactly what I (and, I expect, Joss) had hoped. It bodes well for "sleeper hit" status.

Can't stop the signal...

Thanks for sharing. I know a bunch of newbies who are heading out to see it this weekend. Let's hope for another $10 mil. Or more.

I went to see the BDM at my local theatre on Tuesday, and again today. Well, they don't have ushers during the day, so I just walked to where I knew it would be.
Except it wasn't, it was down the hall.
Huh. I thought, and went on in, and lo and behold- Bigger theatre.
Brilliant.

what exactly do we need to get a sequel. I heard 80 mil. is that correct and is that worldwide and does that include dvd sales when that happens?

See I heard 50 million...anyone have the exact number or does it depend on DVD sales too? (and also, how do the Canadian numbers fit in? (and other non-U.S countries)

Ohhh...you guys don't even know how good it is to hear this stuff. Today I was giving the full-court press to everyone I knew. Mentioned to a girl that I was going to see a movie this weekend--you know the way this goes. She says, "Which one?" I says, "Sereni--" and damned if she cut me off before the "-ty" was out of my mouth: "I saw that with my fiancee the other day! It was incredible!" This a girl w/no experience in the 'verse. There's hope yet, Browncoats. We hold.

Wow, great news!
It would be amazing if we could just meet the same amnt we made last weekend...
I would rather see us make more and take the #1 spot,
but really, just staying in the top five,
and making another 10 million, would count as legs.

Maybe not legs for running...or even walking...
but at least legs for standing, and holding ground.

it is late, I should go to bed.

and I'm feeling bad that I was harsh w/the Firefly fans who aren't going to see Serenity

but I'll be buying my extra ticket for an empty seat when I go back to see the BDM a 5th time tomorrow!

I'm going to try to do my part, but my social calendar is solid for the whole weekend. To try to make up for it in some small way I went with my wife to see the BDM again last night (Thursday 10/6). Hope it helps - and who knows, I might manage to sneak a viewing in this weekend.

Last night's showing had a pretty small crowd - no more than a few dozen - but it was a *Thursday*, so I'm not too worried.

For those hoping for a sequel, I hope the theaters you visit held up a return audience better than the one I went to.

Last week for the 7:00 PM showing on Friday night there were probably between 160 and 200 in the theater. Tongight there were between 40 and 50.

Of those numbers hold up nation wide it does not bode well.

Wait a second... aren't you the guy telling us in every post how much you don't like the movie and how you wouldn't see it again?
