Mark the date. I am predicting that Serenity will go 20M+ on opening weekend, and that it will kick north of 100M in domestic run...
What was the price that Universal set on its head? It has to clear 18M or something for them to make a sequel?
If I won the lottery I'd just pay them the amount.
Based on the reports I've been reading, they could've released
Serenity
back in April of this year and it would've made a killing. There really wasn't any competition for it all summer.

Random fun fact. Random coworker, who sat behind me at SW:ROTS, had a minor computer issue tonight. I went over and re-installed the program as needed, and noticed he had just joined the Serenity/Browncoats Board. Bad me, no toaster, but I did leave a spare Serenity button on his keyboard.

It didn't look that way with Hitchhiker and Star Wars slated, though.
Didn't they just finish the final cut? Would they have been done in time for April?
I know, in a peripheral sort of way, that there is a thing called a "Q-rating", which has something mystically related to a person's or product's buzz. Does anyone have access to
Serenity's
Q-rating?
On the main topic: I wish I knew why
Serenity
feels more appropriate to me as an Autumn offering. Perhaps it has to do with late September also being new-TV time.
Gawd help me. I got that.
I got it too, man. It's true.
Somebody call Trpcc ... Trpc ... that talented wardrobe lady from the country that can't afford vowels... and tell her that the movie release was dictated by her choices.
