This is it. It was fun folks, but... I dunno. We needed, according to a responder to one of my later posts, to rake in about $80 million for a sequel. Hows it look so far? Hm? Are we doin alright? No, of course not. I would like to side with another poster in news and events about how people are sitting there in fantasy land saying, "Numbers are irrelevant" or "Can't stop the signal", or sitting there humming the Firefly theme song with a far away look in their eye whilst outside of lala land, our movie is dieing. Unless we get a lot more people to help and see the movie, or Bill Gates gives $80 million to the sequel, Serenity is gonna flop. I hope I don't wind up in troll country for this, but no one reads my posts anyway, so I can rant all I want to an empty stadium. I want Serenity to pull through, and I'm pretty darn sure you all want it too. I'm a young one who was only introduced to Firefly late last year, so I don't really know what it's like for all of the really whole-hearted fans to see a movie the love die. I love Firefly and Serenity too, and I don't openly love much. I just want it to pull through.

Anyone know if DVD sales are figuring into that 80m$ number? Because it'll almost definitely do more there than it does in theaters.

I'm thinkin' we'll rise again.

As was said, there's a lot to be made overseas. And give it time, people'll catch on.

I just want to say in response to you three, you'be given me hope. It is not really about the destination, it's the journey taht counts! We're trying, and damn it, if this is the end, then we are gonna either go out with a big kablooie or pull 'er through! That's just my try at being a beacon of hope. I do, however, feel moved that you are all trying. I too am trying, and I managed to get a few people to go first day, but I'll try and go again for the sake of the show! Remember Serenity!

The $80 million is WORLDWIDE. I wish people would stop putting all the pressure in the US alone. So far, it's made (as per estimations) rougly $5 million this weekend. Plus the 10 from the previous weekend, that's about $15 million in two weekends. Plus a couple million during the week puts it at $17 million.

So far, outside of the US and Canada (which I don't know if it's included in our numbers or not), it's only opened in the UK (this weekend) and in Australia. There are a lot of other countries where it hasn't opened yet. Have faith. We will prevail.

I'm taking two people with me today to see it. I took another one yesterday. That's all I can do for now. And that's what I'll do.

We did better this Saturday, $2.26 million. If this trend continues, we could get $5 million this weekend--what the Box Office sites were predicting and the norm for sci-fi films. And then we need to keep spreading the word, get people to turn out *next* weekend to show that this here film has legs. It ain't over yet, folks, so keep buying tickets and spreading word of mouth.
