If its before Christmas I can buy loads and give them as presents, that would be a great way to boost the figures.

Let's say the DVD's sell like crazy and Serenity makes it PAST $80 million faster than expected. Joss has Wonder Woman, that other horror script he just completed, and THEN another Firefly movie?

And if it takes a long time to get everything going what kind of reception will it get when it's done? There is such as a thing as too long between movies.

Either someone else will have to direct it of Joss's choosing (I doubt it would take him long to write a script if it's not pretty much written already) or Wonder Woman will take a back seat. Now which of those two do you think Universal will go for?

One would think that in this life
Where no two snowflakes are alike
One would have a brilliant rhyme
For each and every bit of time.

Tell that to George Lucas

Seriously, you've got a point, but I prefer to keep hoping for another encore--somehow.

What a bunch of bull. Even now, there won't be a sequel, not a chance. The only people who saw this movie were the fans + change, and that's not enough. I've heard the stories, all the damn stories about how people walked into a movie theater and saw 50 people who, they say, are first timers, and really enjoyed the movie. How the hell do they know what other people are thinking... 50 people especially. But look at the numbers: $24 Million, and not even $40 Million worldwide. And they say there will be a sequel, or a tv series, or whatever the hell people think is able to be produced after a movie just bombed at the box office. Look at "Saw II", "Saw II" cost $4 Million to make and has already grossed $30 Million in the US alone. Now that's what it takes to get a sequel going, a strong opening. Not some sad $10 Million in the first weekend. And they say, well compared to the per-theater gross, it did rather well, but not really, not at all. "Serenity" earned about $4160 per screen, and all that after "lots" of attention, or somewhat too little I say. And compared to the first "Saw" movie with little favor prior to the film ended up grossing over $18 Million in its first weekend alone, with $7895 per screen, at a production budget of $1,200,000 (that's right $1.2 Million). And I got my info from the-numbers.com so I ain't making this stuff up.

Let me be more clear. What I am saying is that if Serenity ends up doing well enough to warrant a sequel, which I think it just might, Joss suddenly has two other projects he's working on for Universal. I would like it to get greenlit and be ready in a few years, but if it has to wait for two other movies I think Universal might as soon cut bait then wait too long. - The Yeti, CLUTCH
