I'm a bit worried about Serenity: according to Tribute.ca and Movietickets.com, it only raked in USD 10.1 million last weekend. I've heard that 80 million is the happy-making number.
Oh, and another thing...it only opened on about 2,500 screens. Most films open on 4,000 to 5,000 screens. Appearantly many cineplexes only showed it on one or two screens, and in smaller auditoriums, so that was self-limiting as far as how much could be brought in. And most of the people I know who have seen it said that the room was packed. We shall see what happens, because I loved "Firefly", and I'm hoping "Serenity" meets or exceeds box-office expectations.
