Like “Office Space” the DVD for this film will be sold for decades to come and everyone will own it at one time or another. Even if it never makes a cent in theaters, this film will be a cult classic and should most definitely be made. (Yay!)

I don’t know Nate, I’m awfully fond of Teen Wolf Too.

Serenity bombed. It didn’t even make it’s budget back worldwide. You also have to take in to account that the studio only gets part of the budget back from the box office, 1/3 I think. So the film had to make at least three times as much in the theater for them to break even.

Two things Sean. One, Serenity did not bomb. It almost made its budget back at the box office and I’m sure the multiple incarnations of DVDs have at least brought it even. It didn’t do well, but it didn’t bomb. Secondly, Arrested Development is the best thing anyone involved with that show will ever do. Everything Bateman and Cera (and everyone else involved with the show) have done since AD has been a step back.

Sorry for the rant, it’s just that you pushed two of my fanboy buttons in one fell swoop.

This movie will do modest indie-size box office and make a killing on DVD from its hardcore fanbase looking to complete their collections.

The reason this show failed is because Fox didn’t advertise it for crap. I used to watch Fox constantly and never once saw a preview for this show. It was only through word of mouth I saw anything from it. It could do well if they market it right. I am looking forward to it and I think Jason Bateman and Michael Cera need to realize that it was this show that helped revitalize, in Bateman’s case, and start careers in Cera’s case. I am very excited for this.

I can’t wait. The show was hilarious. It only failed because Fox only wants to focus on cartoons and reality TV shows.

Dan: Serenity bombed. But I think with Fox Searchlight doing it, if they treat it as more of an indie film rather than a huge blockbuster, then it should do well enough for them.

It’ll probably be a flop at the box office, and they’ll take it off the screens early. But, over the next few years it’ll gain a cult following and sell a ton of DVDs, enough to justify a second movie. I think everyone from Jason Batement to Will Arnet reached their funniest acting moments on this show, so to me this movie is a step up from where the entire cast is in their careers.

Of course its following justifies a feature film. Will it be a huge release? Probably not. But it’ll make its money back. There’s a Firefly film, how is that any different?
