Hey, Browncoat. You think we won the first round?
Also, I agree with pushing DVD sales, but not with the hopes that it will prompt another movie. Push the DVD sales because it is a good movie.

So, the moral of the story? By Serenity when it comes out on DVD. Then buy a copy for everyone in your family. Then, buy a copy for all your friends, then by a copy for all their friends. Now, repeat the process with the soundtrack....
...Then we will have our sequel, and yes, yes, it will be shiny.

SO TRUE! I've heard way too much pessimism about how buying the DVDs won't save this thing anymore, blah, blah, blah. It is way too soon to give up. Obviously, not everyone can afford to buy multiple copies, but everyone who can, and really wants this thing off the ground again, should. Buy 'em, lend 'em, tell everyone we know to at least rent the dang thing. It's a great movie and it WILL sell itself when seen, but the problem is, I'm still running into people who have never heard of it! We can do this - but DVD sales are going to be the key.

I couldn't have said it any better.

Well having just been greatly disappointed by the crap that is Serenity, I don't really care about a sequel - if there ever is one i might give it a look if i can do so without giving them any money.
Guess I forgot for a breif moment that I am a Firefly fan, not a Joss Whedon fan :(

Well, i guess 1 out of 10.000 is just collateral damage ;)

No offense but just because you didn't enjoy something doesn't make it crap. If you actually thought Serenity was crap then I can't imagine you watch more than a couple of movies a year. And if you care enough to see a movie you should pay for the privilege - FACT.

I always thought it possible that Universal would green-light a sequel, without Serenity making $80 mill. I'm not even sure how many films out there are making that kind of money anyway, even ones with big names.
Its possible that they threw that high number around to really get us to push it hard. Its also possible that they're not saying anything cos they dont want us to slack when yhe dvd's come out.
Since the BDM didn't make the $80 mil and a sequel is green-lighted, would 'versal reduce the budget for Serenity II and thus in essence reducing the quality of film.
I hope that if they do make a sequel they won't sacrifice its budget purely on box office performance.

Remember our beloved TV show was made for a tiny fraction of the budget of the movie and that looked neato regardless. The best moments in Serenity weren't the big space battles or the hefty CGI - it was the character stuff.
And speaking of CGI, I have to say that the Reaver ship from the chase sequence only looked any good when it was the 'phut phut' real life vehicle, rather than the CGI version.
But then again, I thought most of the CGI in Revenge of the Sith looked crappy...
