I think this collective "we did it"
is a delusion. The British press did it.
Plus nothing much else to see this week
did it.
The idea that a handful of British FIREFLY
fans influenced our whole nation is utterly
laughable!!

Congrats UK!
Hopefully this will help American/Canadian audiences sit up and take notice.

We applied the cortical electrodes but were unable to get a neural reaction from either patient.

How defeatist. Wouldn't it be better to think that the UK is more enlightened than the USA (uh Flightplan sucks with writing only slightly better than Supercross) and Australia (Deuce Bigalow is their Jerry Lewis apparently).

Hmm seems more than a little unlikely. We are already in that downward spiral and a movie that should be making a lot less than it is Flightplan (and some others too), but the fact remains that we are idiots here.

Way to go Mr.Spoiltheparty.
I honestly do think that the fans over hear made a difference. It only took a few people (well maybe a lot) to make the Serenity stall at Memorabilia, which turned brought the film to many many peoples attention.
Just one example but I'm sure there's many more. Congrats to every UK fan who did their bit to help.

That's just Howard for you. Take a look at the Telegraph thread...

Hey I think we helped a lot. Even with good reviews this movie had very little publicity compared to stuff like the Wallace and Gromit movie which I expect will make a mint over the next few weeks.
Lots of Browncoats (here in the UK and abroad) have been encouraging friends/family who wouldn't normally go to see Serenity to check it out. I called my dad the other night to let him know how much I enjoyed the film (I've been hyping it a bit to my family lately) and he told me he already took my brother to see it earlier that evening and they both enjoyed it.
If the rest of my fellow UK fans got as many people to go as I did (17 at the last count)then I think we did a bloody good job and deserve congratulations!

Yes you are right.
The section of the press that helped
was the movie enthusiast segment.
Then of course also people are getting
media from other countries so they are
seeing clips and reading about it on a
global level these days.
Maybe this will now spill over into
the rest of Europe.
