If you plan to buy at least 2 copies don't buy them all at the same place or at the same time. I think it might count less for a sequel if you buy 3 copies at amazon.com or at a store then if you buy a copy at amazon at 2:00 then at 2:15 buy another copy from amazon.com. Does anyone agree or disagree?

What happens if you buy a DVD, return it a week later, etc, etc?

I don't know. I doubt it counts for a sale.

Don't get me wrong I'll be buying a few copies myself. I just want to maximize the effect for us getting a sequel. I have al ready bought 7 copies of Serenity. I but the one I got the day it came out, a second copy because my sister stole my copy (both widescreen) and a full screen copy to copy to my Ipod, The UMD version, the HD-DVD version, a gift to a friend and a used copy for 5 bucks I couldn't let sit on the shelf. So I really don't need any more I just want to get more Serenity.

I agree with you dataless, IMO we need a big spike on the first few days and high numbers for a lengthy time after that. I'll be getting at least 3 copies - they're excellent gifts. Will buy my first via advance order and subsequent copies a week or two apart. Right now though, its #2 on my priority list.

For me, priority # 1 is to help make the Serenity Now screenings a HUGE success - we need lots of non-Browncoats to attend. Believe it or not there are billions who've never seen the movie & I'll be doing my bit to reduce that number, even if its only by a couple.

*************************
Browncoats, are you content to see Firefly in 2nd place or would you rather see it at #1. It won't happen unless you vote.

I hope that we get really big Numbers for the DVD. It is the best way to get Universal to make Serenity 2.

I was thinking of running a Screening of Serenity but I live about 2 hours from New York on long Island. I don't feel like going into the city. We have a very nice theater near me and I think it would be cool to have Serenity screening because the last time Serenity was in the theater it was in the smallest theater and left after 2 weeks but I think I'm too close to NYC.

Do you have any reasons for that assumption? From your name, I'm guessing no?

A sale is a sale. Seems to me, it's just another tally on a chart, regardless of if you buy 2 at a time, or just one.

If they track how many multiple copies are sold to one person then the studios might see 2 copies being bought by one person as one sale or that one the two copies don't mean as much to them 2 different people each buying a copy of their movie. It doesn't effect the money they take in but it might effect how they view the Film property. I have no facts or basis for this other than they track every single bit of information about DVD and TV they can and why shouldn't they they are trying to make as much money as they possibly can. If they think that they have more fans of Serenity than they currently do then they might want to make 7 more films and and a few more series. If the bottom line tells them that the value of the property is worth the very costly expenditure then they will make at least one more movie. How much did Serenity cost, somewhere between 40 to 80 million dollars? They want feel like the money they spend will be returned to them as quickly as possible and if I can make them think that my copies were bought by different fans then I feel like I've done as much as I can to help them see that it is worth it.

Don't think it works that way. When they get the sales figures, it's not broken down like that. Strict sales numbers matter, not number of transactions.
