It's changed. Firefly's now at 11. Sadly, Serenity has dropped to #4, behind both versions of March of the Penguins (WHY IS THIS MOVIE GETTING SO MUCH CREDIT?!?!?!?!? IT WAS BORING!!!) and Star Wars. Overall, it's the #3 movie, #4 seller.

We shall rule over this land, and we shall call it... This Land.

I just got an e-mail from Amazon, they are shipping my copy of 'Serenity' NOW!!
Yay!
AND I just saw an ad for the 'Serenity' DVD on TV,
it was short, but looked great....

Tonight 'Firefly' is on Sci-fi, I hope they'll run ads too

but I have to say, I didn't find 'March of the Penquins' boring at all
but I wasn't that excited about that Sith movie...

Be more positive people..Its hard for me to accept that the strong sales #s for Firefly/Serenity has any negative side to it....I am not confident that the franchise will go on , I am hopeful.. I think there is evidence of a recent popularity boost for Firefly/Serenity...I am evidence of this , I first watched the show on Dec 1st of this month and last night i saw Serenity for the 2nd time at a lex KY theatre..I have also turned 5 or 6 people onto the show in just the last week..I think the # of fans has increased dramatically in just the last 60 days...
I have a question for the person who posted the message about serenity being a pre-order and that is why it should be selling better dailly on Amazon then DVD's that have already been released(i think that was the jist of it).. I have 2 questions really #1 How does that explain the Firefly DVD success(#11)?
#2 How come there are no other pre-orders on the top-sellar list if pre-orders always sell more then released titles??

Regardless I am encouraged by the DVD #'s.Remember it does not have to be the best selling DVD of all time it just needs to make the Film a financial success...
Though i think i could live with it being #1...

You might warn Mom and Pop that if there's any other rental places in the area that don't appreciate the competition putting things on the shelf before street date, they might get reported to the studio. Mom and Pop could be fined a few grand, or not receive future Universal releases untill long after street date.

I actually bought a copy of it a week ago at Forbidden Planet in downtown NYC, definitely a legitmate store, and technically a chain.

I recently saw the television advertisement for the Serenity DVD. It is excellent - attention grabbing, intriguing, makes you want to see the complete story. If this sort of advertising had been part of the campaign for the theatrical release, I believe the Serenity box office take would have been millions higher.
