Quote:On June 23, 2006 a number of fans organized and spread word of "Serenity Day", on which all fans were proposed to purchase a copy of Serenity in an attempt to convince Universal that a sequel would be profitable. The significance of this day was that June 23, 2006 was the one-year anniversary of the third and final advance screening of Serenity prior to its release, as well as Joss Whedon's birthday. The impact of the event could be seen from Serenity reaching #2 in the Amazon DVD Charts.[95]the highest ranking the DVD had reached since January 16, 2006.[96]

I bought 8 copies of the original DVD release , also , and saw Serenity at least that many times while it was in the cinemas...Just happy to be doin' good works... Maybe we should cross-promote , too , by pledging to see 'Cowboys & Aliens', a 'Versal release...While I personally don't NEED no " stinkin' aliens " , it is a genre-related 'Space Western' , of a sort... What if we bought another ad in Daily Variety where we pledge support for this 'Versal release ? Should oughta get us some notice , doncha think ? " In search of 'Serenity' , Browncoats create 'viral' campaign for new Universal release... "... Send it off to Ron Howard...

Quote:Where's River when we need her ?
Quote:The 'Serenity Day' that you propose falls in coincidence with the " Can't Stop The Serenity " screenings that will happen again this year... What say you join that email list , and field some ideas there...
Quote:Meanwhile , write to Universal for promo material (posters , etc.) for Cowboys & Aliens , to be freely given out at the Serenity screenings...Those of us who can spare a little coin can donate some Serenity CE DVD's to be used as door prizes , and everyone else tries to hit the target date you suggested for the big bump at Amazon... That'll give us a build-up prior to the screenings , plus a big spike on Serenity Day...

Quote:Originally posted by Dewrastler: THIS IS AWESOME! I remember being part of the original Serenity Day and as far as I'm concerned, that was the most active I'd even seen this site. It'd be awesome to have another Serenity Day now that we have something new to buy. The last Serenity Day was on June 23rd to coincide with Joss's birthday, the screening, and the Can't Stop the Serenity screenings. In fact, we helped make the screenings a little bigger, but I must say that most of the work was by those who coordinated it. That being said, don't make the same mistake we did last time. Do not step on the toes of theonetrueb!x and the CSTS screenings. Those are for charity and not to get another movie. If you want to do this on the same day, ask him. That being said, if you want to help promote the CSTS screenings, thats great, just make sure people know they are for charity and not another movie.
Quote:While we see the potential for cross-promotion possibly -- hopefully -- bringing more people to the CSTS screenings, and thus more people and funds to your cause, we do not wish to "dilute" or otherwise interfere with your charity function in any way. We claim no affiliation; we ask for no cross-promotion from your organization to our cause. We ask only for your opinion: Do you feel that promoting SD08 on June 23, 2008 will be beneficial, or detrimental to your cause? We respect your opinion on this, and, as true Browncoats, we will move SD08 to another date, if you would so prefer. If you do, though, feel that the cross-promotion of same-day SD08 and CSTS can be beneficial to your organization, please let us know that as well. We will be happy to add links to CSTS in our promotional materials.

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