According to the interview with Joss in the Visual Companion, the decision to make the movie had nothing to do with the DVD sales, though I'm sure it didn't hurt.
The way I see it, I suspect they they saw his talent and realised that while it wouldn't be a blockbuster, Serenity at least could be expected to break even and they can have Joss on board to make other potentially more lucrative films for them. Just a guess.
Cheers.

Who's the man? Kung Fu Jaffa Christopher Judge. Coolest friggin fight scene on television EVER!
Oh so very true!

Well, there are 2 Canadians in the cast, Nathan and Jewel. Although it's apparent LA is home now, Nathan's from Edmonton, Alberta. (Yes, I googled him) Every once and while I hear a slight Canadian pronounciation of a word or two from him but not from Jewel.

I'm the other way. I like Stargate SG1 and find Galactica horrible. It's just a soap opera.
Neither compared to Firefly though.

I think the grand lesson we can all learn from Firefly and FOX is that it is impossible to predict and/or explain the actions of TV industry execs. Bottom line though, they're gonna do whatever they think will make them the most money...obviously (juding by the other crap they air) they're not interested in quality of programming. And who knows how they determine what will make them the most money? I mean any sane person would assume that airing a pilot LAST and endlessly pre-empting/shuffling a baby show would probably not make you much money, but hey that's what they did. Therefore, I am assuming that they are insane and thus, unexplainable.

They might all be taking mind altering drugs.

Fox has a history of letting shows die when they don't turn an imediate profit or hit a key demographic. Regardless of the shows potential or increasing fan-base. I'm not sure why they lay them to rest rather than selling them to other networks to make-up some of their early losses. Dark Angel and John Doe, along w/ Firefly were all potential money makers they (fox) made it nearly impossible for other networks to pick up. Perhaps the execs are afraid the success of something they let go would reveal their foolishness.
