I don’t know… maybe the UK film going audience has better taste in movies than we do in North America. At any rate, the sci-fi film Serenity is number 1 at the box office in the UK at the moment… putting in a much better showing over there than it is here in North America.
I’m still a little stunned by it’s weak performance. It’s not an Oscar worthy film by any stretch of the imagination… but it’s a solid quality film. And no… I wasn’t a fan of the TV series. I never even saw the show until 2 weeks before the movie came out.
Joss Whedon needs all the ego boost he can muster right now after the beating Serenity has taken at the box office so far. And the Wonder Woman camp must be a little nervous right now too… I bet they thought that Whedon’s name alone would have mustered up more box office buzz than it has. It’ll be interesting to see how that turns out.
