Let's be intelectually honest at least.

90th for the year- NOT GOOD, well below DOOM
and Stealth 
Dvd sales do look good so maybe... /\
Only the half mad are wholly alive!

Both Doom and Stealth had much bigger budgets than Serenity. Stealth cost $100 mil to make and Doom $80, so you are really comparing apples to oranges in your intellectual pursuits.

Here is the reason for hope:
The show produced: a faithful Browncoat following,
devoted actors and crew, and a devoted Joss. They ALL love and enjoy the show, and the telling of this story.
Everyone was so serious and dedicated to this little bitty, cancelled show, that they went out and made a movie.
Can you imagine how many times this has happened in the history of hollywood or TV? Can someone do some serious research on this? Because I think they are going to find that NO ONE SHOW has been able to pull off this kind of love and devotion. No, not even Star Trek (and I consider myself a fan of that franchise as well)
We had a miracle happen here kids, and it is because everyone cared and gave a damn that it happened.
Joss cares, the fans care, the crew cares. If it can be done, they will damn well try anything to get the story to continue.
To quote a famous cigarette company, "we've come a long way baby."
Keep that hope going; because Joss has NOT said NO MORE, the fans have not said NO MORE and the crew has not said NO MORE.

One way or 'nother, even if this does end up being our bitter end, I ain't heard no "stand down" signal!
WE HOLD!

What's next?? NOTHING. I just watched the movie. Can't you all see that they killed this thing. I am extreamly pissed off. Killing off two main crewmates. A sure sign that nothing is to come. It's almost like the corperate people said, "sure, make a movie but end the story". The sheppard had so much more to tell. That is just the begining. Did you all the get hint at the end of the movie. The bad dude said, you won't see me again "there is nothing left to see" I am sure that this was a message to all of us fans. Fans of a good thing. A show with a glimmer of intelect. There is SO SO SO much crap on. This had far reaching potential. I am a fan of stargate. A good show...but dying out. This would have been a good replacement on scifi, I am sure that it would have been an even better show. I am longing for this type of scifi. Scifi that does not feel like scifi. I even feel that the movie went out a little too far tho. I know this had to happen, the entire show was wrapped up in this flick. I am pissed. Pissed this is a dead show. Poor exposure. I have introduced it to about 20 people and all have been hooked. I did not even know it existed untill it was on DVD. These corperate idiots have no clue.
Final words to the dorks who dropped the ball:
Swallow your pride. Sell the rights to SCIFI. Forget the movie was ever made and finish out season one. Then press on to season 2 3 4 .... this is a good product. It is sad to see another thing wasted by politics. A media for the people by the people is fast coming, the internet will see to that. Your power is soon coming to an end.

Firefly is going to be in limbo for quite a while. While Serenity didn't make enough money to guarentee a sequel, it didn't do so badly in a year that was tough for the movies.
I think Joss' career will determine if more movies get made. If his current projects do well he will be able to do what he wants on other projects. Providing he does well I'm sure he could pitch a version of Firefly that would be green-lighted.
But I have to say I'm not looking forward to it. While I'm a huge fan of Firefly, Serenity left me cold. It was too dark for me and I can't forgive Joss for leaving two empty seats at the dinner table.
I saw the movie exactly once and I have no desire to see it again, let alone buy it.

There's still seven of them left...

They signed the cast for sequels just in case. Plus corporate people like $. They couldn't have known at the time if that would be the end.

I understand what you're saying, but I don't agree. Book's story can still be told.

I would rather have it end like this then with one massive cliffhanger of a movie - and no sequel.

It ain't dead yet.

*cough*It's Joss*cough*
But like everyone else has said - this battle isn't over yet. Three years ago when Firefly was cancelled who would have thought that we would now be anticipating the DVD release of the movie?
There's no way to know what will happen three years from now (although I'm thinking December 20, 2008 would make a shiny part 3 theatrical release date). But if we give in now, we don't have a shot. So we hold this valley!!

Let's just keep ourselves shiny and respectful towards "them". Convincing is better than ignoring.
Hey! No offense was meant at all.. did you miss the LOL in the middle of my quote you used???
It is sooo true that saying something with a smile in your voice.. so it is not taken as SERIOUS is hard to do in writing...
Just line me up on the glass half full side and let the debate carry on...
