Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
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.

I don't think so, but every little bit helps.
Chase Masterson to interview Joss Whedon. The former Star Trek-star now host and producer of Fandom Radio is interviewing Joss on today at 4pm (PT)/ 7pm (ET) on www.thefandom.com

I'm figuring more like a quarter mil if the last total number of screenings I heard was accurate. But, hopefully thousands of those early attenders will be dragging friends to see it and buying tickets to multiple showings themselves.
Is A History of Violence opening limited or wide on Friday? (I mean, did it open limited this weekend?)
That's definitely a movie that I want to see. (But, of course, I shall be at Serenity this weekend.)
You know, I'm making the assumption that where there is a pre-screening on Thursday (or whichever day it is), there will also be a regular run. That's a logical assumption, right? The theater where I'm planning to see it does have a pre-screening but doesn't have its Friday schedule up yet, and I've got a whole meet up and do dinner thing going on with a friend there. Hope the movie is actually there, too. Huh.
I mean, you wouldn't pre-screen a movie on Thursday that you weren't going to show on Friday, right?
I don't think so. I mean, you have the film already. Why not make some money off it?
Yeah, I think I'm fine. It's just, sometimes my assumptions, which are so clearly righ to me are... not so much. But I think I'm good with this one.
From what someone just posted over at Oscarwatch, it looks like HoV is going to be on about 1200 screens. Into the Blue (Jessica Alba in a bikini) is on 2700, and Serenity is going to be on 2100. The Greatest Game Ever Played (the Holes guy plays golf) is on 1000, and Oliver Twist is on 800. I don't know about films already out, yet (BOM usually puts out the final theater count list on Wednesday or Thursday).
It's probably good for Serenity that I really don't have any clear idea about any of those others -- which is to say, they haven't been promoted ad naseum. Right?
Is there anything huge opening in the next few weeks?
Man, I still don't know where I'm going to be when I see it. I'll be in Houston on Wednesday, maybe Amarillo on Thursday. Hopefully home by Friday, but I dunno if I'm going to be able to head straight to the theater.
