I already have people set to go check it out when it opens in Argentina, in roughly a month.

Today, I finally heard from my friends who moved back to France. I just finished emailing them - made a not-2-proud-2-beg plea for them to go see "Serenity" as it opened over there today. They usually pay attention to my pleas and/or suggestions, so I'll be waiting to hear from them soon.

Looks like another trip to the movies for me this weekend - and I'm expecting a loaner set of "Firefly" from Amazon any day now (my Brazilian neighbor went bonkers over the story after I took him and his wife to "Serenity". He now wants to see how it all came to be.)

One thing I think everyone is forgetting is what happens when Serenity hits video and DVD...it might do what Firefly did, after the show was cancelled they made the DVD, and the DVD made millions.

Yay, first post

If you look at the figures on the welcome page, 'Serenity' must have taken at least $30 Million already just in the US. I know it's been doing well over here in the UK and you can take the British Gross and pretty much double it to get dollars.

How much did they make it for again?

Currently at No. 6 in the UK behind Pride and Prejudice (chickflick), Kinky Boots (a social commentary) and Wallace & Gromit (familyflick)- all UK-centric films so no surprises there. The BBC review was quite good (critic gave it 4 stars and viewers 5).

Don't forget Serenity has been given a 15 rating in the UK which seemed a little harsh at first (it would make it inaccessible to many families for example) but in light of all the 'I'm turning against the film because my 11(or 42?) -year old cried' threads, perhaps this was just as well...

Overall still doing well and the fact that its primarily being shown in a single screen in many multiplex's has meant it continues to be shown.

Hooray! Serenity's coming into the theatre in my hometown this weekend! I can go see it again and drag more people to it!

See, morbid and creepifying I got no problem with.
