Serenity opens #1 in the UK!

#1 new opener!

#1 movie of the weekend!

#1 gross per screen!

The only country to have growth from Friday to Saturday!

The UK becomes the first country to completely buck the trend, with Serenity soaring to the top of the charts.

WELL DONE EVERYBODY.

Press release and figures to follow shortly. We did good, we did real good.

Finally, some good news about Serenity’s Box Office! I’m glad they’re doing their part over at UK. Now to bring the sales back up in North America...

Personally, even though I absolutely love the movie (and Firefly) I’m also a realist and only expected it to make it into the top 5, but UK audiences have - happily - proved me wrong. Will it mean a sequel? Who knows, but it’s nice to see it getting some recognition at the box office.
