Key Paragraph:
"Universal Pictures' 'Serenity,' which brought the cast and crew of the short-lived FOX drama "Firefly" to the big screen, played in more than 1000 fewer locations (2188 in total) that 'Flightplan,' but averaged a slightly higher $4,616 per screen to earn an estimated $10.1 million. Given the number of devoted fans for the cult series, the true test for "Serenity" will come next weekend. The first week figures were somewhere in line with industry expectations, but don't necessarily indicate that the film has immediately found a crossover audience."
So Serenity did quite well IMO considering it played on 1000 fewer screens then Flightplan did.
Great post JackLucas. That will hopefully push everybody on the edge here to see it this weekend. That's what they're looking for, the 2nd week results. So everybody, GO SEE THIS MOVIE THIS WEEEKEND! You won't be sorry you did.
