Wow. It really was the most brilliant idea ever to release Serenity before Christmas. I worried that it was because it wasn't doing well in theaters but I can see why they might've kept this release date even if it exploded at the BO.

tey had three copies left at ym local target yesterday. and two copies for PSP. which i thought was mighty shiney. At best buy some guy was holding it and looking then looking at the cover and i was like "that movies awesome" and he was like "really? thanks, and walked away with it in hand"

I also tell everyone at work at barnes and nobles who buys anything in any way scifi that the movie is awesome!

At a Best Buy in Oklahoma City yesterday morning less than an hour after it opened. I noticed that they had more racks of Serenity on display than any other movie. I believe it was 5 rows of 4 about 5 movies deep. A good chunk of these were already gone with at least 3 or 4 gaps where all you could see was shelf. So either they hadn't restocked the shelves that morning or more likely Serenity is truely going to have a baby sister.

Let me share something that irritated me.... I work in the King Of Prussia Plaza in Pennsylvania (Whose official state insect is the Firefly, by the way....Jealous much? I'm gonna have to do a post for that) I point out the mall because it is world renown for its size and scope...Anyway I went to 4 different places on the 16th to preorder our BDM on UMD for PSP. 2 game stores, 2 music stores and NO ONE was getting ANY in.... Now this confused me, not because I'm a Serenity fan... But because I am aware of its Amazon ranking... But hey, they got in Sandlot 1 and 2 as well as brothers Grimm, but no BDM... (pissed me off) My final stop, an FYE was getting in just one UMD copy. JUST ONE!!!! so I reserved it for my very own and was pleased... until I walked and thought, "This is one of the biggest Gorram Malls in the world! There is only One copy of Serenity on UMD? This is not helping us browncoats... where are the sales by sight?, the impulse purchases? the sales to people that are S.O.L. EVEN SEARCHING FOR IT?" Our numbers could be higher if it wernt for....well you know.

GrayFury,

Well, you were looking for a UMD. I imagine most people don't carry UMDs of not-well known movies considering that most people don't shell out $250 for a portable Playstation. That doesn't concern me much.

Don't even know what a UMD is; Underwear of Mass Destruction?

Got my broth-in-law a copy at Best-Buy, and then went to target for something else. Saw Serinity on display by Firefly. Thats really cool because the tragets here didn't even carry Firefly when it first came out two years ago. Hope that means more people are buying that as well. at best Buy they didn't have them in the Action or sci-Fi section...and getting a little nervous I asked a sales girl who said they were in the new release section and commenting that I was "like the 100th person to ask me that." Though I'm sure 100 is a slight exageration, I'm glad to know people are buying them. Any idea on where we can check DVD sales? I mean total not just Amazon.
