Uhhh, and with the 39 million production cost, this is not a very good start.  I\'m thinking the movie studios (which for some reason never include DVD sales and international box office in their calculations) are not going to make this into a trilogy.  That said, Universal could still make made-for-tv movies or bring it back as a series on sci-fi - either of which would keep me happy.  Studios hate supporting this kind of project, and I have no doubt that they will want to see their cost recouped pre-DVD sales before they\'ll agree to sequels.

The only things Serenity\'s numbers have going for them is:

A) Cheap production cost of movies.  If serenity can have another weekend like this, they might just factor in the DVD and international profit, and decide that sequels are worth it.
B) Second place behind Flightplan, so the studio might blame the viewer apathy this year - rather than the movie.

Course... I should think positive.  Yes, it was an awesome movie, and by golly, if there\'s one thing that firefly/babylon5/family guy DVD releases taught us it is that us geeks have massive consumer buying power.

When you factor in the budget, that isn\'t all that well to begin with. DVD sales will knock that up quite abit, but if it doesn\'t make budget or exceeed by the time its over, then I wouldn\'t count on any sequels.

You may have to use IE to open it.


I haven\'t seen the movie and this video is like a giant tease!

No, but I\'d strongly suggest seeing the series anyway. DVD, Sci-Fi Channel.. internet..

The most skeptical people I\'ve introduced it to have liked it the most, oddly enough.

yea, just netflixed this.  It kicked ass. :)  Like a mix of Cowboy Bebop, Metal Gear Solid, Matrix, with a tougher, wittier version of Han Solo thrown in.

Now I\'m all interested in the series.  Kaylie is hot, I wanted to smack that doc upside the head early on in the movie.

I still prefer 5th Element to this one, but Serenity isn\'t far behind.

Any word on a trilogy?
