I'm not sure if this has been brought up already, and despite posting on and off here for over a year now, I still can't figure out the board quite enough to look.

But I was wondering what the intake numbers were from the pre-release and their added consideration into the overall intake for Serenity.

If anyone has the info, please let me know.

I don't have any hard numbers but there were 35 screenings I think.

If each theater held 300 people @$10/ticket, that's only about $100,000.

Even if the theaters held 500 people, the total take only goes up to $175k.

With the US box office at $22.5mil those pre-release numbers don't make a huge difference.

Didn't figure it'd add too much, but thought it'd be something to consider.

I'm pretty sure all preview screenings or early screenings for all movies are included in the total box office numbers. So, I think the pre-release screenings would be included in the $10+ million Serenity made the first weekend.

yeah I heard the $ from those was counted into the first weekend,
but most of the Advanced screenings were in smaller theaters (200 or there abouts)
they were sold out at $10/per ticket...
but that doesn't really add up to all that much money...
it was awesome though

particularly when Summer Glau showed up at the second Chicago Advanced screening!

I must say that it takes a studio which is fairly confident they have a good product to do pre-screenings. Many films don't want reviews coming out before as it can kill a movie due to bad word coming out.
