Not at all, at best "Into The Blue" is a tarted up re-make of Peter Benchley's "The Deep" which, given all the sun and sand and characters identifiable to the teen market pretty much screams 'summer movie' but it wasn't released in summer... translation? It's likely a dog.
While Miss Alba has her panting legions of fans, 'Sin City' didn't exactly break box office records for all its hype. Don't expect her bikini clad rump to save this action yawner from a watery grave.
Serenity has a built in fan base who will see it more than once (you know who you are) and is getting a major marketing push... everywhere I look online or on TV I'm seeing previews/bumpers/banners. The studio is treating it right, now it's time for the fans to put their money where their mouths are.
Let's break some attendence records.

According to Box Office Mojo, Into the Blue is scheduled to be on a lot more screens than Serenity. :(

Well, in a conflicting report, FilmJerk says Into the Blue will have "2000 plus" locations while Serenity will have "2750 plus."

Which to believe?

I don't know what your problem is, but I bet it's hard to pronounce.

The thing that worries me is that Jessica Alba is making the rounds on some the major and some of the major/minor talk shows next. Using TiVo to look at the coming week, nobody from the cast of SERENITY is booked on them. So it looks like JESSICA ALBA IN A BIKINI is going to get plugged more than SERENITY. Makes our job just a bit harder, I think.
