Hey, I'm new here too - 'cept I'm from New Zealand. Serenity was only released a few days ago here - November 10 - and I'm sorry to say I was one of only 5 people in the cinema.

Loved it, though.

As it turns out, I'm also new, but in other news, SERENITY IS GONE FROM ANYWHERE NEAR ME! And my dad won't take me to belconnen to see it, even though I tell him how awesome it is and that he would probably like it, but I ain't giving up hope, I'm gonna try to convince him anyway I can, I HAVE TO SEE THAT MOVIE! Everyone I know whos seen it said that it's great and have either gotten into Firefly or want to get into Firefly, that is, if they aren't already (like my ENGLISH TEACHER!).

Holding in the US at 144 theaters
according to www.boxofficemojo.com/counts

It will be 49 days in US on November 17, 2005.

Plenty of first-run, buy-a-on-line ticket
theaters too:

It's weekend gross time again.

I wonder when theater owners make the
decision to keep for another week. Is it
based on the weekend gross or is it based on
how many people come on Wednesday or Thursday.
Anybody know?

Check your area second-run theaters, newspapers, and other on-line ticket sellers like

actually 144 theaters in it's 6th week is really not bad...most movies that have been open for 6 weeks have disappeared completely.

I do hope we can eeek out a few for million dollars,
I would really like to at least make back the production costs in the theaters
so that the DVD sales are all profit.

And I've talked to some theater owners here (near where I live in the USA)
and they said that they have a contract for 2 weeks
then it is up to them to hold over or not,
depending upon how well they think the movie is doing in their area.

This means that 144 theaters in the US (and Canada?)
think that Serenity is worth keeping around!
(of course WE knew that! )

My local theater is one, actually bumping the number of showings back up to 4 this weekend after dropping it down to 2 last. I can't go again (hubby doesn't understand).

Yay, Ausies!!! Keep it going!
