International Serenity openings being canceled

By Leri

Argentina, Thailand, Taiwan, Brazil and Singapore have all decided to release Serenity direct to DVD. International fans waiting for cinema release should check with UIP to see if it is still being released in their country.

Post subject: Arrgh. They took the sky from us.

I just hate this. I feel so... arrgh

I’m still in shock. I’m from Argentina and the movie realease date here was on December 1st.

Today UIP people called me. They say they won’t show the movie in theaters at all. Going straight to Video-DVD.

We are doing a petition, asking people to sign it, but I really feel helpless right now. There’s not a lot of people in this country that actually sign the petition and it’s not ’cause we can ask everybody to do so ’cause it wouldn’t be believable. So, I really think is useless.

GRRR.. I can’t tell you how much this sucks. All we want is to watch the movie on the big screen, the way it should be.

They really took the sky from us this time.

    It’s been sort of canceled in Sweden too. The largest cinema company have passed on it, leaving it to a smaller one which means it will only open in select cities.

    Are you serious?!?!?! ARG! i currently live in Thailand and have been waiting for Serenity to comes since it came out in the states!!! well i was going to the movies with my friends today anyway so i might as well ask them if Serenity is no longer going to show!! This is so bad though because just a month ago it was on HBO giving out the dates in which Serenity would show in Southeast Asia!!!! grr if this is true im going to be very mad! id just have to go to the states to buy the DVD because knowing Thailand id only come out in its pirated version cause their arnt very many REAL dvd shops and all my Joss Whedon stuff (Buffy, Angel etc) are all real so that means id have to wait till summer or get someone to buy it from the states for me during spring break or something unless the dvd comes out during christmas in the states arg -_- this is horrible!!! i REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to go see it in theatres!!! and so did a bunch of people from school over here! oh well if it really isnt coming out to theatres gotta break the news to them to arg.

    That’s really bad news. It’s doing so well over here in the UK, too.
