That is what suprised me. ROTS is by far the best of the Prequels (tied for 1st in the series imho). It did an excelent job of closing the story. FF fans should be proud for thier accomplishment to be in the same realm as SW sales. It really says something about everyone here and the franchise. I guess I just hate when someone tries to rip down something I care about to try and elevate something else.

Films usually jump up in sales a lot when they're actually released so it has a good chance of going to no 1 - though Christmas might be affecting it.
Also: it's #2 on playusa.com - which is the region 1 import wing of the European play.com and is probably mostly used by people in the UK.

Not to sound to fan boy about this but, This Rules. I missed Serenity in theaters but I found a "last Chance" theater today so I finally get to see it and this way I can buy it 6 day after viewing it. 
I hope the Amazom numbers keep rolling in and "Serenity" can go the way of "Pich Black" only by the Gods let it be better than "Ridick".

MtnScott, personally, I don't hate the prequels, and for what it's worth, last week I put library holds on all the prequels (I own the originals), so I could watch all six movies in order, ideally over a two to three week period, just so I can honestly assess them all as a complete series. I'll post back then. Peace?
Sirvec, you don't sound like a "fan boy"... least, not to this Fan! Feel free to see it at least once more in the theater. My wholly personal opinion is that it's best viewed at least three times on the big screen, in order to grok it in fullness.

I agree.

As an aside, if you check only Action/Adventure popularity, Serenity is only Second to EpIII (which has been out how long?)

It is also rated 1/2 star higher 
and costs $1 less than Crapisode III. 
MMM...the 'Verse is a shiny place indeed!
BWAH!

It's now at #2!
Firefly still holding at #11! And it's less than 2 1/2 days until I pick mine up! BestBuy finally has a price up ($18), so I may just order my other copies from Amazon.
Has Amazon fixed its spamming problem?
P.S. Thanks, Haken, for the new "Serenity Amazon Ranking Tracker"! Nice touch!
