I wouldn't panic; if they made this announcement so soon after release (less than a week!) then they had planned this from the start--part of a general marketing plan, rather than a reflection on current box office take.

And for the record, Serenity isnt doing as badly as some people think; it opened in second place, first for new releases, with a good per-theater take, especially for an off-season release.

Still, this second weekend is key, so go see it again with six-eight people you love.

In film 2005 with johnathan ross it was mentioned that studios were looking at releasing dvds the same time as movies due to declining box office reults

As mentioned in another thread on this board, Universal plans to release King Kong in theatres and on DVD the very same day and they also have plans to place movies online in the near future. I don't think we should lose hope yet. It sounds more to me like Universal is just adjusting their marketing strategies to suit today's viewers; they don't seem to want to rely as much on the box office. Just my two cents

Actually the King Kong DVD is a 2 disk Making Of, not the movie itself...
