Looks like Outlander guessed it first.

ok here goes
1) The Battle for Serenity Valley
reasons:
a) can't go wrong with a war movie
b) they are always referring to it. It will certainly be in the movie somehow.
2) Aiya! Women Wan le!(In chinese characters of course)
translation underneath: We're in big trouble now!
thanks to ying's pingyinary
reasons:
a) It's What you say when you see reavers
c) Go for a multicultural audience
b) some people might think its a hong kong action flick and they would be about right

I can't believe no one's suggested Reaver Madness!
According to Universal's site, Serenity is the working title. I agree that it's not the catchiest name for an sci-fi/action film, but when you think about it it's probably called that for a reason. The ship has always been a great big flying metaphor, which Joss is certain to play up in a major way.
Serenity In The Black has a certain ring to it... if a little cheesy.

I've never understood why Joss called the show "Firefly" and not "Serenity". To me "Serenity" is a much more impressive and meaningful title than "Firefly".
"Serenity" seems to me to be a very cinematic title and not only would it make a good title for Science Fiction film it would also work as a tile for a Western or Horror film depending on which way Joss wanted to go with the tone of the movie.
Using "Serenity" would also make the movie an entity on its own so it would be more likely to attract people that have never seen the series, something that a title like "Firefly The movie" would be less capable of doing.
Under the title "Serenity" you could have in smallish writing "Based on Joss Whedon's Firefly" showing a visible connection to the series as well as showing it to be a reinterpretation of the series for the big screen. And if it gets picked up as a series it could then become "Serenity The Series"
It also reflects a more personal connection to the movie for the fans of the show. Her brand name was "Firefly" her real name is "Serenity".

SERENITY
You know, I agree with you... and by the way, I read about the movie rumour in the other thread that suggested this might be a working title for now.
It is funny the show is called Firefly and not Serenity, I didn't think about it until you mentioned it actually. Nice 1.
Funny, Joss seems to hide a rather large talent for drama behind his love for the 'mask' of allegory and such. That is, the fantasy worlds he creates. Is calling the show 'firefly' symbolic of this? I bet even Joss doesn't realize this. But it's my guess (I don't know the guy but somehow... watching his shows I grok Joss a wee bit I think.).

I know it's almost been said, but when I was thinking about this question a couple days ago, I thought of "Firefly: into the Black." "Into the Black" suggests courage and mystery and space and the future and the unknown, etc. I like it. And, of course, it is a direct quote from the theme song.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Good gravy!!! I have always heard it as, "Take me out/into the black..." You prolly have access to the written text of the song or something so I certainly won't argue with you, but it sure does scan better with that extra syllable. Without it there's just this silent "uh" in the middle of the phrase. Dayumn!
