Dawn ,'Storyteller'
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.
OK, I lose. There is a movie coming out about 70's kids whose roller rink closes down and they have to go across town to the rich kids' roller rink. Where someone might in fact get served.
And this isn't Movies, so... um...
Serenity looks to at least have the sci-fi market that weekend. So that's a plus. Also, I'm not down with Hollywood's concept that a Hit Movie has to come out at a certain time, so I think it'll do just fine.
MirrorMask is Gaiman's project. I would think that it would draw the same general type of audience, but I could be crazy. I know that we want to see both MirrorMask and Serenity.
But Mirrormask is only opening in NY that weekend, right? I assume it goes into wider release later.
-t, I think you're right. I just noticed the date, and not the (limited) after it.
I guess it's still a problem for New Yorkers, but it's not a problem for me, so, less important.

However, the New Yorkers have also been getting screwed on the preview screenings, so this is just yet another inconvenience.
I'm kind of doubtful about the date changing. That and some of us are doing a fan table at Chicago Comic-Con again this year and I don't want to hand out 5 bajillion calendars with the wrong date circled again. (Because it's all about me.)

But when it hits wider release is an issue. Jewel stated in one of the blog entries that Universal is going to be looking at not only opening weekend (when they know all the hardcore fans are going to go) but the first few following weekends as well. If MM goes wide the next weekend, that could be a problem.
I don't think there's any new information, but it's nice to see the picture on zap2it's tv headlines page.
Ooh, I didn't realize that it's gonna be part of SciFi Friday, leading into the two Stargates and BSG. Cool!

That's not a gimmie weekend by any stretch. If you look at the 2005 Release Schedule there are less competitive weeks earlier than Sept. 30.
