Just got back from the Wal-mart supercenter here...battling the crowds to get those last few gifts and I strolled by the DVD section to see how many were left...

One single widescreen copy. The rest were fullscreen, but who wants those?

I mean, this is one of those superstores with rows and rows of the same movies and all the Serenity was gone. Several empty slots where our heroes were placed.

Me thinks if this keeps up, we'll get our big damn sequel...

I got the first copy on sale, at the Wal Mart I work at here in Las Vegas. Went by the display yesterday and they where really low. It put a big smile on my face.

Take me out, to the black, tell them I ain't coming back.

I don't have good news here, but I live in such a small and crappy place it is inconsequential. Every store I went to had tons of copies of Serenity just sittin' there...nobody here cares. The only theater within 35 minutes of me cut Serenity before it had even been in the theater for 2 weeks.

Oh, another strike against where I live, most stores around here don't even carry many widescreen copies of movies because the vast majority of people here prefer fullscreen.

I got BSG 2.0 + Serenity + $10 off deal, though...so I'm happy ;D

Could Shrek 2 happen to Serenity!?! Shrek 2 did far better at the box office than the original, the major contributing factor to this was dvd sales of the first Shrek movie. Based on anecdotal reports (read here) and on facts (#1 at amazon, firefly at #5) is it possible that a Serentiy sequel could do 4-6 times what the original did at the box office? Yes true believers that would be a 100 million plus at the box office! (in Des Moines alone)...little Joss humor there......anyhow Merry Christmas! Yeah Mal, it's Christmas.

Went to my local Target last night, and was pleased to see a good chunk of the Serenity DVD had been purchased. It was displayed in the main aisle (which there were only 3-5 left and only 1 UMD copy there). In the back wall, where all the DVDs are, there were a quite a few, but it looked like people still grabbed it from there as well. Then went by the TV DVD aisle, and there were a good 6 copies of Firefly, which I have never even seen at this Target before.

I'm liking our chances for movie 2 about now.

At Blockbuster today I noticed all the rental copies were out, and when I was at another video store (this one for video sales) I noticed the Serenity copies looked a little depleted.

Me? I bought mine at some store that as selling copies at the airport on my way home yesterday.

Just came back from the mall (dear god in heaven!) and while I was there, stopped over at Suncoast to look if they had Wonderfalls on DVD, and to check in Serenity and Firefly.

No boxsets of Firefly, which either means they never stock it, or its sold out. But since they had almost every other TV show on DVD there, I want to believe the latter. As for Serenity, there were a total of 2 left, for $24. Pricey, yes, but they were nearly wiped out! So there I was standing there looking at the Buffy Chosen collection, and this guy is reading the back of the Serenity DVD. Not wasting the moment, I chimed in that he should get it, because its a really good movie. He asked me if I saw it, andI said yes. Then he pondered that for a moment.

And he left the store with it.
