This movie looks cheesy as hell to me...i don't understand why so many people are talking about how many tickets they are buying, how many people are going with, how many times they will see this movie etc...people need to get a life!

Just got back, and think it was so much better than many recent big budget scifi movies. My sister, who was not a fan before, loved it too.

Saw it in Portland, OR, with four family members. Friday 7:45 PM showing looked to be close to sold out (~300 seat theater).
I thought the movie was much better than I expected and it seemed to be pretty accessible to someone who hadn't seen Firefly (unlike me). $10 million for the opening weekend is a disappointment. It's a better movie than that IMHO.

What's interesting is that if you do the math, Serenity pretty much sold a ticket to everyone who bought the series on DVD. About one million were sold, so $10/ticket X 1 million= $10 million for the weekend. I remember thinking about that when I read how much the DVD sold and thinking: "That really won't open it that big, but it is probably what's guaranteed."

My wife and I saw it today. The $7 "bargain" matinee. This was one of the few times in a world with way overinflated movie ticket prices that we both felt like we got our money's worth.
Serenity is a GREAT movie. Period.
If you haven't seen it, GO! You'll thank me (and everyone else who has recommended it) later. Trust me.
My wife may have actually liked it more than I did - and I loved it!

This movie kicked ass! Will probably go see it again this weekend.
What the fuck is up with you people? You come into a thread about a movie that you're not interested in seeing based on a cool show you never saw to bag on people that are excited about seeing it? Internet nerds that need to get a life?? Hello, pot, this is kettle. YOU'RE BLACK. Why don't you stop threadcrapping and stay out of threads you're not really interested in contributing to?

Boy, what a disappointing B.O. weekend! Flightplan #1 again? Serenity only 10m? My estimate was way too high. The movie was terrific. Exceeded all my expectations.
I'm hoping that positive word of mouth will sway more moviegoers to check it out this coming weekend.

To play devil's advocate. This isn't the main Serenity thread, but rather a poll thread welcoming opionions from both side.

I saw it twice this weekend. I don't think there's anything to be disappointed of. Hell, it was us, the fans, that got this movie made. And even if they don't green light a sequel, there are more mediums to tell the story through. My pick is an ongoing comic books written by Joss. Look at how well written the Astonishing X-Men books are.
