Serenity is down to #15 in total theater count:

Serenity:

At least "Into the Blue" is finally in fewer theaters.

Portland, OR area drops from 21 screens to 14 screens and from 68 showtimes to 45 showtimes today.

I'll be going for showing five with my brother (he's never seen the series) on a visit to central Oregon. It's playing on one screen, twice daily so it will be a bit different than my city slicker experiences.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Gorram it!

Well, guess I am going to the Commonwealth again this weekend to see Serenity again on Saturday & Sunday before she gets pulled.

The movie's been pulled from 4 out of the 5 theaters within a 10 mile radius of my zip code. I checked it at movies.go.com.

So I guess it's just a wait until the DVD comes out now.

well, if you wanna watch the movie again (i assume you already have), you could make it a worthwhile road trip. just a suggestion. an hour ain't too bad. me--i drive a lot for my work (a lawyer who goes to various counties)--and sometimes, an hour drive goes--blink--just like that.

I'll be driving an hour and a half to Cedar Rapids (each way..83 miles away!), to meet up with some Browncoats from the Universal Serenity board...
(if anyone wants to join us, please do!)

might was well enjoy the BDM while it is still in theaters...and getting together w/other fans is ALWAYS fun!

i'm thinking that most of these theaters were the smaller ones who had to choose between the newer releases with the more guaranteed profits than the older movies. plus, there probably were venues in which serenity just wasn't drawing a crowd. anyway (i'm ramblin' here), i wonder if this means that the box office returns will take a big hit as well. hope not. it would be cool to see serenity, which only has 878 theaters, bring in more money than films with higher theater counts.

We're considering it, though we've each seen it twice. Looks like we either have to head into Toronto, or cross the border and hit a theatre in the Niagara Falls N.Y. area.

SQUIRES

First post, long time lurker.

Its down to just three show times at one theatre on this side of pittsburgh, pa. I was hoping to go see it again in the afternoon while the wife was at work but I'm guessing I'm going to have to wait for DVD as well as we just can't go see movies together.

I thought it was an excellent movie, and I'm glad to see it brought in as much money as History of Violence in one less week of show time. I can't believe Flight Plan is still in the theatres and family movies like Dreamer, Corpse Bride, and Wallace & Grommit shouldn't count cos they get at least one extra parent/guardian per child ticket. But almost $30m in the theatres on a production budget of $39m isn't bad with the box office just getting off of an 18 month loosing streak.

I'm really hoping Serenity makes it back to the TV as I don't think it has the steam to keep coming back to the theatres only just yet. The movie will definitely make money after US box office + internation box office + DVD sales are all tallied up. Definitely worth bringing it back to TV and getting more supporters for future movie releases. I was not a fan of Joss's before Firefly. Hated Buffy... hated Angel even more and just wrote off Firefly when it came on tv. Since I have bought the DVD series (thanks to my Uncle Frank) the last week of september I have watched through them all atleast twice. So I wonder if the cancellation was all my fault?

Anyway, I think in a month or two we will know Serenity/Firefly's fate. Lets hope it comes back to TV!!!

I feel the same way. I never even heard of Joss until my brother gave me the DVDs to watch in August.I put it off for a couple a weeks because I thought "the show got cancelled how good could it be?" Now I've purchased my own copies of the DVDs, watched them twice, and went to the movie 4 times (5 after tonight). Fox might have the dumbest network executives ever *cough* Family Guy * cough*

It's still in the big theatre near my house (20 screens), but only 2 showtimes, 4:10p & 10:15p. I'm definitely going to try and see it again! One of our boys suggested a family outing, as we've all seen it at different times, with different people.

Serenity is still showing in most of the theaters near me, Amerillo, Texas.

but i got a couple of questions as a newcomer. What does Gorram mean ( I think damn, but not sure) and what is BDM?

Big Damn Movie - "flans," (Firefly + Fans = Flans) will also use that in reference to many Firefly related things "Big Damn Blank" and fill in the blank with whatever, Kaylee is a Big Dam Cutie, etc. The phrase comes from the ep Safe when Mal and Zoe come to the rescue of Simon and River:
Mal: "Looks like we landed just in the nick of time.... what does that make us??"
Xoe: Big Damn Heroes Sir!"
Mal: "Ain't we just."

Gorram and Gorram it! Come from a small mining town in the southern hemisphere of the moon Shadow, Gorram. The mine that supplied Gorram with it's only economy blew up one day because a drunk miner chased a chicken into the mine one night with a torch and the chicken ran into the explosives cache. From that point on it signified a major screw-up, "Gorram It!" Some say that was also the sound the town made when the mine blew up, "Gorr-rammmm!"

Serenity went from 30 theaters down to 19 where I live (12 dropped and 1 picked it up). Didn't lose any screens this week, although six theaters split Serenity out with another movie (which cuts in half the number of daily showings). A couple of positive notes, two theaters added an additional showing and there's still 70 showings a day around here.

To put things into perspective: "Into the Blue" had a production budget of $50 mil. Worldwide gross-- $18 mil. "Elizabethtown"-- $54 mil budget. After being panned by critics, think it will make its money back? I don't mean to raise "Serenity" by putting down others, but my point is, it could have been much worse. Universal definitely impressed with production values. Perhaps "Wonder Woman" will be a smash hit (and why wouldn't it be?) and Serenity will get greenlit as a pet project. One cas always dream.

I haven't checked the Silver City near my house, but it is playing in the two "second hand" theatres near me. It's sad that it's losing theatres, but maybe in the cheaper places more people will take the risk and go see it. One can always hope.

Isn't Wonder Woman at Warner Bros movie? If it does exceptionally well, Whedon's name will be more powerful, but wouldn't it be better if he were to make a highly successful movie for Universal in order to improve Serenity's chances?

Well, the loss of theaters was a shock to me, I live about 20 miles outside of Atlanta, and Serenity is playing this weekend at every theater within 30 miles of me. Hopefully it will make money since it's up against movies that haven't gotten reviewed well. It really does have wide appeal, if people would just GO see it...my husband and I are 23 and 25, and our parents who are in their 50's loved it as much as we did...people just aren't going for whatever reasons but maybe this weekend it'll do okay despite the loss of theaters.

There's a whole mess of new movies coming out Friday, such as DOOM and the like. Not any surprise that SERENITY would be pushed aside for the new meat.

Yup. There's just been too many movies coming out this month that open in more than two thousand theaters (each week there have been at least three and most times four). When you couple that with the two week contracts you get stuff like Domino absolutely bombing but 2200+ theaters can't drop it yet. In retrospect, Serenity actually had an okay hold last week. The per theater average went down but the per screen average was decent. All of the theaters in my area that were showing it on two screens dropped it to one - so the actual number of screenings went way down even though the theater count dropped only modestly. This week, even though we lost more theaters, we lost less screenings than last week.

Um, okay, that rambled a bit

AEROB1033

If I was Universal, I would seriously consider greenlighting a Serenity 2 very soon on a bit lower budget (~$30 million). If they follow it pretty close on the tails of this BDM they're almost guaranteed to make another decent profit--they know that the fanbase is more dedicated than that of a typical sci-fi film and that they'll come back in force for another, and the movie also gathered a lot of new converts. So betting on the property again--as long as it's fairly soon so it's fresh in people's memories--would probably be pretty solid in terms of bringing in a little more revenue. With as many movies as are bombing or not doing very well lately, and as poor as the box office receipt has been in general, any safe bet is a good one in the moviemaking business. Serenity 2 is obviously a pretty safe bet.

If the movie does as well as or better than expected on DVD, I would not be surprised at all if we get a shiny announcement from Joss that he's been asked to do another. Guess we'll just have to wait and see, though.

My Bride and I went to the movies last night... She saw North Country. I saw Serenity again. (She loves the series and the movie - but she's not as rabid as I am.) There were more folk in my theater than in hers... It's not over yet.

On the way home we had a conversation about how well "Serenity II" might do and came to the same conclusion as AeroB did. Our BMD has had pretty good legs - and once the folks who always wait for the DVD are converted - Serenity II could open with a bigger box office than Serenity. Here's hoping.

Now here's where I feel it will have real problems is that us over here in the bdm camp are the sorta people doom is hoping to entice in. And if it had came out last year, I probably woulda seen it.

While some theaters may have dropped it, up here (in Northern WI), we have 3 new theaters carrying the movie. It takes time for new movies to hit the farther away theaters up here, so just remember while some cities and towns may be losing the movie, there are a whole bunch of others that are just getting it, which may help with the grosses.

I know I'm headingout for my 4th viewing this afternoon, and my dad is wrastling up his hunting buddies after a long day on the lake to see the movie in Rhinelander (where the movie is brand new). So hold out hope, just cos some theaters are dropping it doesn't mean new theaters aren't picking it up!!

Last weekend I was planning to go see Serenity, check my main theater and found it had been all but cut out (only two evening showings). So I searched and it is barely in any theaters here (major city market) and only late showings. The earliest I could find was one at 4:05. So we went to it.

Now the really interesting thing was the theater was virtually sold out! For the previous three weekends each time I'd seen Serenity there was almost nobody else in the theater (about a dozen people).

I think it'd be funny to see a Browncoat rally and SELL OUT every theater it's still showing in now!

It looks like Serenity is being completely pulled (at least from the Minneapolis, Minnesota market) this week. The last showing appears to be this Thursday. I'm going to try and gather a few people to see if we can make a serious showing at the 4:05 PM showing tomorrow (Wednesday).

I think if all the browncoats across america made an effort to go in the next two days we could make an interesting "blip" on the attendance / box office numbers.

I know people that will miss the movie because they haven't finished watching the DVDs in time.

Wallace and Grommit has enormous staying power! These guys are still rolling in the dough on the 3rd week out (US figures, 3rd weekend: USD 8.7 Mil. Total so far, USD 44.8 Mil.) Why? It's a G movie... As much as I like reality and swearing and blowing shit up in the movies. The G movies have always made money hand over fist. Why won't the studios make more of them?

Sadly, no one (theatre owners...) pays much attention to you once you go pass that 11/12th place... If you can't bring in the popcorn, it's not worth the money to rent the reel.

well last playing for serenity in Victoria(Australia) was yesterday, i went and saw it.
i don't know about the other states though but serenity has vanished from this state, possibly country too.

Still showing in Canberra at 4 theatres, although no of time slots is reduced.

Checked Hoyts web and it still has Serenity playing in 5 theatres in Victoria (Melbourne?). Queensland and South Australia don't have anything listed, but ACT, VIC, NSW and WA all do.
