On IMDB there is a United States rental Top 50. Serenity is currently number 44. They made $770,000 this week and a total of $7,010,000 so far. Since they pretty much broke even in the box office, these rentals, overseas rentals, and the DVD sales profits are all profit. All of this should add up to some major dollar amounts. Unfortunately, I can't find dollar amounts for the DVD sales anywhere. Through Sci-Fi's poll and them re-airing Firefly, I'm thinking we may have a pretty good shot at this. If the show gets good ratings during the March 10th marathon it will only solidify our chances even more.
The address of the IMDB chart is:

It may have broke even for production costs but there are a few factors you're not considering. The theatre take, marketing costs, and distribution costs. So marketing we know is about 10 million and we don't if distribution was counted in the marketing costs but if it isn't that's another couple million there and then you have to figure that the theatres took about a quarter of the box office profits. So right now, we're probably just breaking even with DVD sales and DVD rentals.

Serenity is selling great online but in the box stores it isn't doing as well. In fact most stores I've been to in my area (Wal-Mart, Target, K-Mart) do not sell Serenity anymore.
