According to Michael and Evo’s Slice of SciFi DVD Sales have pushed Serenity over the top and into the black.
All DVD reports up to January 31st are in and it looks like over 2 million DVD’s have been sold and VideoBusiness.com, an organization that tracks video rental information, announced that Serenity has made $9 million in DVD rentals alone.
It hasn’t even been released on DVD worldwide yet, it gets released in the UK in a few days and I for one shall be buying a copy. So this makes up for the poor box-office that it received but I wouldn’t count my chickens just yet.
The fact that Serenity has taken Universal out of the red and into the black is great news, but don’t cheer too early. According to Universal execs it still may not be enough for them to wager on a costly sequel, even though Whedon brought this one in at $1 million under its original projected cost of $40 million.
Like practically every other Firefly fan on the planet I just can’t get enough of the crew of Serenity and would welcome further adventures but what I really would like is another season of the television series.
Failing that then perhaps I can settle for a set of Lego Serenity crew members.
