YAHOOOO! What great news to wake up to! I've been thinkin-positive about the movie but feeling half-sad about it, too...two hours would be great but heart-breaking if we left the theatre without the possibility of more episodes, you know? This news will make me smile all day!
And hey--I'd consider driving down from Canada to see a premiere in NC. I'm busy doing a conversion of two friends in Boston (DVD set is on its way to them). They will be rabid Firefly fans within the next couple of weeks.
I'm positive they'd jump at the chance to go to NC with me. What a cool idea: road trip with much-loved friends, Firefly premiere, meeting a flock (?) of Browncoats in person, leaving the theatre with the hope of a revived series...
It doesn't get much better than that! YAHOOOO! Shiny shiny shiny shiny shiny.
And P.S.--10 weeks, Static? Fabulous. We'll count the days with you.

So I start daydreaming about what it would be like to drive down to the movie premiere. (This is all your fault. 
)
I get to the part where I'm crossing the border into the U.S. and the officer says, "Anything to declare?"
-No.
-Where are you going?
-Raleigh, North Carolina.
-What is the purpose of your visit?
-To attend a movie premiere.
-What movie?
-Firefly.
-FELLOW BROWNCOAT! That is so shiny! Move over! I quit my job! I'm comin' with ya!
Then we zoom off down the road together, yelling, "No power in the 'verse can stop us!"

No arguments there. They don't have the resources of the four majors.
However, they make their own programming all the time. They do manage to make SciFi Original movies all the time. Also, they produce other shows like SG-1 each week. While they are smaller than say Fox, we don't know how much money they have to throw around.
So, in conclusion, who knows?
Sorry to say it, but I don't think Scifi's the way. Prior to the BSG mini, they might have been.
However, Scifi has already got SG1 season 8 and SG: Atlantis season 1 next year; they came right down to the wire on whether or not to pick up Battlestar, due to it being so expensive.
Firefly would cost in the same range as Battlestar.
While its possible that Scifi might have been home to a Firefly revival, I doubt very much they have the resources for *two* such shows.
No, if you ask me, any revival should either go to NBC, CBS (I mention this only because they've been fair to Joan of Arcadia, which shares FF's old timeslot and at least some measure of its quality), or one of the larger cable channels like USA.

I read somewhere that it could be a direct-to-DVD series, which means Universal may be the distributor? I reckon syndication is always an option too. This is good news, but I'm waiting on the news that they've started filming — that, my friends, would rawk!

I would go with UPN, and air it the same night as Enterprise. God knows that every show that airs with Enterprise flounders in the end...okay maybe not such a good idea.
But if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you.

The theatre is in Raleigh, NC. . .the capital city. It's near Downtown, near hotels, resturants and a large mall. I wonder what sort of response would be recieved from Browncoats wanting to host a massive premiere night gala there?
Raleigh is only 147 miles from Richmond, VA. I would be willing to make the drive for a Browncoat gathering for the movie. It would be great to meet people from the board and see the movie together.

I'm in Greensboro so I could definitely get behind a Raleigh area premiere!
as to the stations that could possibly air Firefly-- I can't picture UPN/Paramont airing anything that would show up Enterprise. Pretty sure UPN turned down the option to air the orginial series didn't they?
CBS I think has possibilities, tho my favored route would be a cable station like Showtime or HBO. main problem with that is the number of viewers that don't get the station....

We told a friend of ours to buy it and if he hated it, then we would buy it from him. This is a good strategy.
He ended up being really mad--imagine falling in love with the show only to realize it's been cancelled--all in one week!
So now you have all the more reason to indulge in peer pressure to get your friends to see this thing.
Honestly--I sometimes feel like a tupperware housewife pushing this show. But, like tupperware in the '50s, it's revolutionary.
Anyway, as a great man once said, I'm rambling. I'll shut up now.

Hey, Static--are you talking about the Rialto? I come from Raleigh (though I'm in MD now) and was just wondering.
Sorry about your being in "the special hell" right now. Don't you wish you'd had to sleep with an evil seductress to get there? ;)
