LOL! Yeah, my first thought too!
The way-cool Aussie poster is high up on my list of reasons why Australia rocks.
I figure when we get our sequel (which we will get!), Universal'll have had a few years of earnings, and have learned somethin'.
Recently, while checking boxofficemojo, I noticed a link to Serenity's status as #29 for "Action Heroine", clicked on it, and was elated to see that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon's "wide" opening weekend earned "only" $8,647,295, compared to its final gross of $128,078,872. That might be a good model to cheer folks up! http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=crouchingtigerhiddendragon.htm
Here's a list of "Slowest to $100 and $200 Million":

One other ting I would point out:
I think we can assume that there will definitly be another DVD release down the road. It's pretty much the nature of the DVD beast now, particularly with a movie with a built-in audience, like Serenity.
Especially since this is Universal. They pretty much invented the "double-dip" in DVD's. Almost any high(ish)-profile film they've ever released on DVD gets another eddition down the road.
If we get a sequel, you can bet ther'll be a Serenity special edition with previews and behind the scenes stuff on the sequel.
And if not, we'll likely see an extended cut. Note I didn't say director's cut. Joss has said that the theatrical version his his preferred cut, but it's not unrecedented to have an extended cut that's not the "director's cut". The Alien extended edition comes with a letter from Ridley Scott explaining that he still prefers the original. Even Peter Jackson says that the theatrical cuts of the LOTR films are his "director's cuts", and the extended cuts are just that...extended.

So.. am I the only one who had to think for a minute before figuring out who that must be a picture of in the upper left?

Hmmm.
Gues I'll have to be the voice of dissent on this one. I'm not lovin' the DVD cover.
It's just a bit too... "photoshopped together video cover" for me. Along the same lines of the Staw Wars DVD covers, which I'm not fond of.
I still think the Australian poster is the best one I've seen. The DVD cover looks like a sci-fi channel movie.

The VC and novelization have a MUCH better picture of Summer on the cover, one that actually looks like River.
