Today (Saturday) is a good day to hold! I say we all hit the theater today if at all possible.

This is really stretching my funds and every single one of my friend's funds already... And another 2 weeks to pay day too...
I think it's high time to go to the theatre and get other people - who are obviously already there to spend money but haven't made up their mind yet - to watch the movie. I can actually hardly bear to spare anymore cash for gas - so even going down to the theatre might be a stretch. But I guess time is about the only left to donate right now.
Like Fireflyfans.net?
Haken needs new equipment to keep the site shiny. Donate.

Given the freedom to do so, anarchy will result in an organic organization unto itself.

I'm going again tomorrow and this next Thursday as well. Had a thought to call my smaller local theaters and ask if it will be coming to their screens and making plans to attend there as well. Thought it might encourage them to show it too, if there are questions about it coming. The first time I went to see Serenity I took my Mom ( 72) and my daughter ( 19). They both loved it! The same daughter took her boyfriend yesterday and he loved it! So.... word is spreading...
hang in there troops.

As it stands now US take at the box office has exceeded 20 mil. Will prolly easily break 30-35 mil with overseas box office. They probably knew this was about what they could expect, which is why the film will be out on DVD mid-December.
The DVD sales influx of revenue will likely put us over the top. The production budget will break even or better (hopefully a modest yet healthy margin of profit). Seems likely.
Bottom line is people will be turned on. They'll be inclined to get into the whole "Firefly" thing. Hopefully, the groundwork has been laid to get the show back on the air.
My personal take... and I know many of you have seen the same... once people are turned on to the show they know there is something magical about it. It's exciting, it's funny as hell, and it's believable on some level. Virtually nothing else coming out of hollywood can make such claims. Word will spread. We'll spread it.

No such thing as gravity. The "Earth-that-was" just sucks.
