Well I'm full brit, the reason it's doing so well is that most of the british browncoats will see the film at least five times. I'm going back for my seventh visit tonite!

It fell to 9th here in the States. So much for "word of mouth".

I saw the pre-view in Birmingham, I saw the pre-release last thurdsay and I am taking 3 colleagues from work to see it tonight.

Glad to see that spreading the word is helping, or it could just be people going to see "A History of Violence" and needing to get their eyes cleaned by a proper film afterwards!!

You can NEVER stop the signal... cause my little island has great taste!

YES!!!

This is a real "upper" for me; I go see Serenity yesterday, I think it's fXXXing brilliant (my brother was looking at me like I was a compulsively grinning mental patient on the journey home) I get on the 'net to talk it up and find everybody's being very fatalistic and solemn!

Anyway, I'll wave the Union Jack (yeah, the one that I don't own) and salute my countrymen (and ladies).

Now, I wonder how much stuff I can shift on e-Bay before this weekend, so I have the necessary funds for repeat viewings?

I just wish my local cinema would hurry up and show Serenity. I went yesterday to see it but its too far to go see again and I really want to!

Woo hoo !!! I've been to see it twice, once with two peeps from work and once with my girlfriend. Off to see it again next weekend, and possibly during the week.

It's had really good reviews from the 'high brow' media too. "Front Row" (radio 4 arts program) loved it, said Joss should be writing all of this sort of movie. How right they are ! Even Mark Kermode of Radio 5 Live really liked it, mentioning just how passionate us fans are about the show. He even said judging by the film he couldn't understand why the show was cancelled.

I have to say, with the talk that Joss is regarded as a hero for producing a sci-fi blockbuster with very little money and from within Hollywood, with the hugely positive critical response, and with the good box office despite no "big star opening" we surely haven't heard the last of the signal :-D.

Way to go Joss !! And way to go us !!

(Maybe the DVD will have an extra 6 hours of footage in it too. Maybe Joss was really sneaky and snuck in a new season of episodes whilst shotting the movie ;-) ).

Huzzah for the UK! I feel proud to have contributed to this, even if I only saw it once this weekend (am planning to go again tomorrow - OMJ it was fabulous...) - on Saturday evening in a packed cinema in the centre of Oxford. Audience response good - laughs in all the right places, gasps in *the* right place, and a general mood of intense concentration on the screen.

A couple of my friends went to a Friday night showing in York; they told me afterwards that there was a round of applause at the end!
