Since most of us already have the series on DVD and had already bought the movie or had it preordered, I'd reckon we pulled in all manner of newcomer. I'd say it puts us in a promising position.

I am so happy that Serenity is still #1. It has been at the top spot for a week now. Also, it seems to selling pretty well at the stores too. I gave a copy to my bro as a gift. He had never heard of the movie, but likes action scifi flicks. I just wish I knew more people who I could convert.

I'm just waiting for the sales of Wedding Crashers to drop so the 'verse can take the top two spots! That'd be a big sign to Fox that they fucked up and to Universal that they can make a lot of money from more movies.

I was in Best Buy today and they had Serenity displayed at the end of one of the first DVD aisles and Firefly was near the checkout. The prices were a bit high though-$19.99 for Serenity and $40.99 for Firefly. Maybe that's why Amazon's numbers are so high?

One good thing-we beat those pesky Penguins at Amazon and hopefully Wedding Crashers will crash real soon.

I had a hell of a time finding any copies of Serenity or even a box set in Baton Rouge the last few days... Five stores I went to I got the same response..."I was looking for a box set..." "Firefly?" "Yes, actually..." "We`re out... come back tomorrow, we get a few in every day." Living in Sacramento, I did`nt know the fan base was just as big here... good job, B.R. Browncoats!

Shiny... let`s be bad guys...

Friday, I drove to Oregon for Christmas. On my way through Medford, I stopped at Fred Meyers. They had about 2 dozen full-screen Serenity left and maybe 10 widescreen. They had a display just as you walk into the electronics area: Serenity & Firefly. (bought one of each as gifts)

When I stopped back by Sunday night - ONE Firefly set left, and about 10 full screen. No widescreen at all.

This tells me it's selling well in stores, too, not just at the Rottweiller.
I just hope it maintains after Christmas. Must figure out who else can I corrupt!

Well, the first rush is over now that every US browncoat owns at least one copy. And all those people received it as a gift won't buy another one either.

CBY, has the DVD been released in Germany yet? I know that it has not in the UK, for some of our beloved UK Browncoats has mentioned as much. So hopefully that will pick those numbers back up? Also, (and I hope this does not sound like a stupid question) does Amazon.com track worldwide numbers, or is there an Amazon site for each individual country? I don't use the website much...so forgive me if that's an idiotic question.

Look at it this way, it took Wedding Crashers a few days to take away the #1 spot and Serenity is still at #2 with Firefly at #3 against every other blockbuster that came out this year. We're still doing pretty damn good and I think it will continue for a while yet.

Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

I would also love to find out the DVD sales #'s for Serenity,though I would not be that discouraged by Wedding Crashers overtaking it..Serenity and Firefly are still holding at #2 and #3 ahead of some big Titles...Serenity held #1 for nine days during amazon's biggest sales month of the year!!No movie has held the top spot forever..A lot of us gave these out as gifts..Now we need those people to spread the word!!

We need to remember this is a Movie of a cancelled tv show with no big stars..Serenity is selling better then most would have suspected ,it does not have to beat all the other DVD's out there...We need to know how many DVD's have been sold to know how much money Serenity has made..

I would like us to take the #1 spot again though!

Wedding Crashers Uncorked Widescreen preorder is beating Serenity Widescreen. (Wedding Crashers Uncorked Fullscreen preorder is at 14, Serenity Fullscreen isn't on the list.)

To repeat we are being beaten by a double-dipped DVD that isn't even out yet.

I know we are doing better than any logical person could expect, but I still find that discouraging.

It's not even announced yet

My guess is it'll be released sometime arround May/June but I'll try to import an UK copy as soon as possible.

Amazon itself is country based, currently the Firefly box set is at #109 at www.amazon.de (Germany). That is fairly good since it has never been never shown on tv. Also we rather buy things in a real store and pay cash. It's our way
