Second Round of Serenity Screenings Sold Out

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the just-can't-wait dept.

j1ggl3x writes "From a Rotten Tomatoes news article: 'Following the sell-out success of the May 5th pre-screenings, creator Joss Whedon recently announced that more advance previews of his movie Serenity would appear at twenty theaters in twenty cities, this time on May 26th. By the next morning, well before the official list of cities was posted, fans on the Serenity movie site and elsewhere had diligently located half the listings through trial and error and several of the locations were already sold out. Serenity hits theaters on September 30th.'"

    Good thing fox cancelled Firefly. There's clearly no public interest in that franchise.

      the general film audience likes character development?

    Yes, the selling out of these theaters before the list of theaters showing it was even out is a good indication that this movie will tank.

      Sounds like it might be a bit of a niche though. What they should do to spice things up is air the show out of sequence. That'll add an air of mystery to the series which people will just eat up.

  5. Fox cancelled it because of politics by DrJimbo · · Score: 4, Funny
    In the Firefly series the big bad was a combination of a corrupt corporation and a near fascist government.

    Fox couldn't stand having themselves portrayed as the baddies.
