Not really, I am sure they count all pre-orders as sales. So if its #4 then it has sold enough to be in 4th place.

Hello. I'm brand new here.
I'm a "discovered the show on DVD" fan and can't wait for the Serenity DVD.
I see it's back at #4. That is very impressive.
Mal:"Well look at this! Looks like we got here just in the nick of time! What does that make us?"
Zoey:"Big damn heroes sir!"
Mal:"Ain't we just!"

Quietude, I think what Andre83 meant is that it's at #4 based entirely on preorders, which is extraordinary! 
We're a now-now-now, can't-wait society. It's inspiring that a semi obscure movie is beating out big names like "Madagascar", "Family Guy", the 40th annniversary re-release of "Sound of Music", "Lost", and hey, even "Oprah".
I'm really not bothered that the only two titles currently outselling it are "Revenge of the Sith" and "March of the Penguins". Those are holiday blockbusters, with a lot of orders by lemmings.
Hmmm... will be mighty exciting to see where it is one week from today!

I got to say having 'March of the Penquins' and 'Star Wars Episode III' ahead of 'Serenity' surprises me.
The first is not as good as a class BBC documentary, and who would actually want to buy Episode III?
Fight for the Future? More like fight to raise the IQ in America.
Got to point out also, that alot of Browncoats over the world will be ordering Serenity from Amazon.com so having extra features in their respective countries is a very good sales tactic. I know I will buy the british version, and probably end up buying the Australian one as well, after I match up the extras and see whats missing. Boy am I sad :(
P.S. Chipmunk didn't see your update until I entered by own update. Funny we almost said exactly the same thing. Plus you are right, pre-orders to 4th place, so people without product for their money yet is pretty amazing.

You're not sad! You are supporting a good cause! Thats not being sad, thats being enthusiastic, which in this case is good :)
And Episode III kinda has a bigger fanbase then serenity so i dont understand how you can be suprised its in front of Serenity. But not to worry, serenity will pass it soon enough, you'll see :)
(of cource i'm optimistic)

The reason I was surprised Star Wars Episode 3, was selling more than Serenity, is that its been a long time since it showed. Plus my personal feelings on leaving the cinema after watching it were, I am glad its over and I never want to see it again.
To know people are still actually buying Star Wars is more than a little disturbing.
Imagine telling your kid, alright first watch the first 3 bad episodes it gets better after that.

While it's nice that it's up there right now, it's also attracting trolls who are writing disparaging reviews of Serenity to try to discourage newbies from trying out the movie. It's important that we BURY those idiots with positive (ie. realistic) reviews to make sure that everyone who might buy the BDM for Christmas, or whatever, won't be discouraged from it by some moronic troll.

I guess newspaper in the US, in the UK, here and everywhere else i've read, rottentomatoes, boxofficemojo (grade A- avarage), imdb etc speaks for itself.
This is something everyone SHOULD see. In the meaning at least give it a chance.
