Actually, Universal was planning to release the DVD in December before the movie even hit theaters. A friend of mine is a store manager for Suncoast and at their annual meeting about a month before the film premiered, the Universal rep told them they were planning a December release for Serenity. So, this has nothing to do with how much it makes or how long it's in theaters - it's all according to plan.

In fact, I've heard (not from the same source, so this one is more rumor than anything) that King Kong will be released in theaters and on DVD on the same day. Seems odd, but it'll be interesting (if it's true) to see how it plays out.

Actually, there is going to be a movie released in theaters and dvd the same day. I forget the title, but it is not King Kong. I think it a Soderberg (sp?) picture.

And if Serenity is still chugging happily along in theaters a month from now I would think the dvd release would be pushed back, plan or not. I would be suprised if it that happens, but then so would Universal.

One would think that in this life
Where no two snowflakes are alike
One would have a brilliant rhyme
For each and every bit of time.

All DVD's should have deleted scenes and outtakes. I also think a cast commentary would be great fun. But it would be really shiny if there were a commentary with Adam Baldwin in character as Jayne. Just think of what Jayne would say about the movie. hi-larious

Also a tribute to Wash and Book should be included.

Yep, Steven Soderburgh's new film. He said he wants people to be able to walk into cinemas and be able to buy the film in the foyer.

A December release would definitely make my year, but actually I wouldn't mind at all a theatrical version and then a special edition later, if that's what it took to get all kinds of good stuff added. Not too likely, I suppose. At the least, though, I want some "behind-the-scenes," some commentary (Joss and actors at minimum), and the deleted scenes. I really want to see those Mal and Inara scenes from the shooting script. (Yes, I confess, I'm a cynic and therefore a hopeless romantic.)

They can make as many editions of this movie as they want, and i'll buy every single one.

Also, seconding the idea of a 'Jayne' commentary, that'd be too cool.

They could do a commentary with all the cast in character! Just imagine Wash saying something to Zoe like "Hey, I didn't see you do that! Oh, I forgot, I was busy being all corpsified..."

Whether it's Dec. 20, as long as I get outtake and deleted scenes, I will be the happiest gal in the world.
