I meant "guys" as "males", not "folks in general including both genders" :D

What's funny is that I went to see it last night here in Chicago. For an 8:30 showing on a Sunday night, our theater was surprisingly full—I'd say at least 60%. With a turnout like that for the end of the weekend, I really expected the movie to have done better at the box office overall.

Thank God for the UK. At least there's one place that knows what's what.

So good to hear! I suppose it wouldn't be the same, with internet ticket sales and all the modern conveniences, but I was accidentally in London (and Paris) during the opening week of "The Wall". Four block long lines of kids with spiked hair and leathers waiting to buy tickets at every theater, all day long. Was it that cool? OK, without the spiked hair and leathers, but maybe someone in a Firefly t-shirt waving a pennant here and there? Was it amazing? Did you meet new peeps at the theater?

I sneeked out of work early on thursday to watch it, and took my 12 year old daughter to watch it with me on friday. I know, bad dad sneeking a chid underage into the film, but she likes the show as well, and I wasn't going to make her wait for the DVD.

Quoted from cantstopthesignal.co.uk:

EXACT FIGURES

Weekend Total: £958,816
Screens: 355
Screen average: £2,701

The screen average is well above any of the competition.

There was apparently a 39% rise in viewers from Friday night to Saturday night, which completely throws off the opposite trend from places such as the USA.

Converted exactly to dollars, that's:

Weekend Total: $1,682,677.72
Screen Average: $4,739.58

Which is, what, just under four times greater than the USA's best day's screen average?

That's not actually as big as Pride & Predudice or History of Violence last week. We're pretty lucky to be a number one with those figures.

Yes, but we never claimed to be a drama with a cast of well known Hollywood actors who already have a hefty, well known resume. Serenity is a sci-fi movie with a cast of unknowns that was adapted from a cancelled TV show that didn't even last half a normal season. That in mind, I'd say it's done pretty well, whether or not the figures were huge.
