Serenity widescreen is now #2 and Firefly is #3. The price of serenity has also gone up from around $11 to $13.74 since this morning!

This is the generalized DVD selling list, not broken into specific genres. The only thing ahead is Syriana, which came out on Tuesday.

Wow!
Success beyond my imagination.
Would have been nice if we could have scooped the #1 spot, but it's kind of hard to beat a critically acclaimed oscar nominee new release.

We have every right to be proud of ourselves.

Wonder what the Universal and Best Buy sales look like?

And that's just half of the fun - I can't wait for all those shiny new recruits to show up! Better order more 'coats and strawberries, people...

Unfortunately, Serenity isn't doing too well on the German amazon.de...

Regular Edition: rank 1.131 (Maybe because it's still at about 24 bucks over here)
Limited Edition: rank 366 (I guess we likes us some extras!)

I didn't even order from there, myself, I have to admit - I could do much more for the cause by ordering from amazon.com and having it sent to the Whedonverse Project.

Firefly is at 92, though, and the box just went down from 50 to 30 Euros (US$62 to US$ 37), so I'm guessing the rank is gonna improve soon - and Firefly was NEVER aired in Germany, and the channel that bought the rights isn't even planning on doing so - maybe the DVD sales are gonna change that. Apart from that, good Firefly sales will eventually result in better Serenity sales, especially when the prices go down, which should happen soon. We'll definitely Arsch treten come the 'Versary in September, after the virus spread in Germany. I haven't lost faith in my people yet.

I'm so into Firefly, my butt glows in the dark.

SAMEERTIA, I Think I got that right...Anywho to all, I went to pick my check up at Best Buy Friday and as of 3PM we had sold one copy! ONE! I have been telling everyone that comes in about it, I even have it on the new release table with the soundtrack, which we just got back into stock because we ran out last week, which was 3, then and now. Firefly also had a nice kick her last week from me putting it on the table, along with the soundtrack, both were gone in a couple of hours, without my help :)

I shall you know figured later on today on if we sold anything else.

It would have been slightly better if the seller I bought my DVD's from yesterday would have been able to accept my credit card payment. I got an email from Amazon this morning saying that I wouldn't be getting my DVD's through no fault of my own.

Must be the first time a dvd released 6 months ago and a canceled tv show released years ago get that high up.

-Stay Shiny
"The people who made the show, and the people who saw the show, which is roughly the same number of people, fell in love with it, a little bit too much to let it go, too much to lay down arms when when the battle looked pretty much lost. In Hollywood, people like that are called unrealistic, quixotic, obsessive... In my world, they're called Browncoats."

Thank you to everyone who bought a DVD to make the Serenity Day DVD buy a success. Remember, if you have multiple copies you can always donate them to libraries, charity raffles or organizations that send them to troops serving overseas. Check out www.serenityday.org for a list of organizations that will take them.

Or, you know, gifts to recruit friends and loved ones

Do we know what their ranking was before June 23rd? For comparison purposes?

Because of the problems FFF.net was having, the Amazon rank tracker on the home page is missing the data from May 15th on, only kicking back in on June 22nd. Or is this something that Haken keys in manually? Hmm.

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

I bought them in a store rather than Amazon... I was actually very disappointed that only one store in town had one copy of the series... and they had to go get it out of the back. That ain't right.
But I bought it and a copy of the movie and I gave them to my newest (and first) convert, who is also my bestest friend. It's shiny that now she laughs at a reference rather than going "OK, I'm going to assume that's Firefly." or "Did I miss that one? Have I seen it yet? Why haven't I seen that one yet???"

i bought 2 since it was dirt cheap. I WAS going to buy 4 at the 11.88 price but the increase would have capped my spending limit.

I went to my local bestbuy today and was happy to notice that the serenity stock pile was higher than any movie on the shelf. Not only that, but half of them were missing :-D.

i didn't participate in the mass mailing unfortuinately, been too busy with moving and such.

I bought the Firefly series at my local mall, a couple of weeks ago because I hadn't seen it in forever, and I'd forgotten how much I liked it. I didn't really know much about it--I was like, "The WHOLE series!?!? Four discs!?!?" I didn't realize it was canceled, lol. But I spent my last dollar on it, literally. But the lady at the desk was a Browncoat, I can see that now, because she kept trying to get me to buy Serenity. I really felt bad, because I didn't have any money left. I'll buy it though, I promise! Don't hit me!

Interesting - I'm checking out AMAZON rankings , the day AFTER. Somehow Syriana is on top of the list. WTF? Ok, so I never saw it,but still.... On the radio, the satilite systers are doing a quick dvd review, Syriana. The lady didn't like it in the theatre, but 'thinks' she'll like it on DVD. Whatever.

I don't suppose it was any mortal sin to buy SERENITY from a store, instead of through Amazon.com, was it ? Sure, the Amazon numbers might look a tad bit prettier, but isn't the goal of all this to boost total sales of the movie ?

Just wonderin'......

Hope not. I have been preaching from the fruition of this "BUY" idea not to ONLY hit up Amazon. I got a set from Amazon and Best Buy.

My reasoning:
If we hit the retail establishment as well; that gets retail execs talking. Even right down to the stock boy who has to put them back on the shelf. To make a news story in our genre of entertainment and beyond it takes someone to present it to an editor/site/magazine. (like the Charity Screenings) With hitting various sellers/locations across the world we have more people involved and more BUZZ is created. ...and the more BUZZ the more people may buy and the more interesting it is to reporters/article writers... the BUZZ will create more sales...

my two cents may only equal that... but hey... uhhh... seems logical.

Oh, but it was. You'll be going to an even special-er hell reserved for Fox executives and people who giggled when Wash died.

Heck no, buy it from where ever you want. Amazon.com is just one of the quickest indicators as to how a product being purchased by an internet-oriented fanbase is doing

AURAPTOR, I bought mine from a store also. I think a lot of ppl did.The Amazon numbers don't reflect the total picture. Which is good because numbers look pretty good there.

I wanted my copy in hand so when the time comes I'll have the right tools to recruit.

I did both Auraptor, for the same reasons that PdCharles gave.

The numbers on Amazon look great! And I am hoping that the sales for outlets will cause them to talk.

I own a business and word of mouth is the way that most of my customers come in. You get people talking about something. That awareness will spread.

ETA: B!x's charity screening campaign had word of mouth press, then real press and it now has that buzz afterwards. A very successful thing that was done...all the way around. And the money made for Equality Now.... Shiny.

I truly hope the screenings occur every year.. and I'll bet I'm not alone in that.

I just wanted to say that I finally found Serenity in my mall and bought it--and it was at a horrible price, let me tell you. Why didn't I get it from Amazon and keep half my money? I really should have thought of that before I bought it. But I have it so I don't care. :D
