A couple weeks. Whedonesque posted it, and most of those Serenity votes came when that happened. The more folks become aware of it, the more votes there will be, I suppose.

Personally, my opinion of Universal is that they blame the Fans for Serenity's poor box office, and they feel "Burned". They are afraid to make a S2 because the Sereniverse makes money SLOWLY, and mainly through DVD sales. Most Studios are about the quick profit. You would think that, in hard economic times, they would look for reliable income, steady income. Such, evidently, is not the case.

If I live to be a hundred, I will never understand the Corporate Mind.

Seriously, though, much as I love PITCH BLACK and think that CoR has some interesting ideas, by the end of the movie, they've largely gutted everything that's really interesting about Riddick from the story. While the director of CoR had big plans for an epic third part to the "legend" of Riddick, I don't know that it'd be very interesting.

Serenity 2 obviously. As far as Universal not being happy with the Box office, often they don't make the money from the Box office take, it's from the DVD sales, from what I hear; much of the box office goes to paying actors and so on. Besides, the DVD sales for Serenity must have been pretty good, they released the CE right? Maybe I'm talking gibberish :)

Speaking of polls, GO VOTE HERE! http://www.tvtally.com/shows/overalltop.php?top=25 We're gaining on Jericho!

I love Riddick, I have the DVD's,...IMHO 'Chronicles'was weak, and I thought the story was done with that one. I don't know the Riddick world but I think "Serenity" has many more stories than Riddick.

as for a second serenity, i was happy with the way the first one turned out, and i honestly think a second one would ruin that. it was one of those films where you watch it and you're like, 'wow, that was awesome. just as is.' and if they make another i really feel it would detract from that.

i never said i didn't want more, i just don't think a second film would be a good idea. Miniseries, absolutely, resurrection of the original series, fuck yes, but i'm just not sure about the film venue.
That, and Riddick needs to be concluded. it's way too fuckin long overdue. At least with Serenity we had some closure lol.

ok dude, i'll concede. on my Pitch Black DVD case u know what it says? it says "Chronicles of Riddick: Pitch Black" verbatim. happy? and yes, the second one did progress from the first so technically theyre within the same series.

They'd save money in marketing, and probably no-name supporting characters, but otherwise, the costs would be similar.

Marketing and distribution, which could be a substantial savings, from what I hear. Near as I can tell, Serenity made more $ in DVD sales than box office returns.

'sides Sci-Fi must have some extra cash lying around since BSG is mostly over ;)

True, but who knows to what degree the marketing and distribution would save them. Back when Serenity came out, the average marketing and distribution cost was around $40 mil for a Hollywood movie (oddly, folks around here were after my head for pointing this out at the time). Neither were factored into the $30 million budget for Serenity, so you're still looking at a sizeable upfront cost.

And SyFy is more than likely putting their BSG money into the spin-off, so it's claimed.
