Reception

Serenity has received critical acclaim, getting "Two Thumbs Up" from Ebert & Roeper and The San Franscisco Chronicle calling it a triumph, while The New York Times described it as a modest but superior science fiction film. Many critics have praised the film as fun and smart, providing a clever mix of genres while also harkening back to classic sci-fi adventures. Other reviewers have felt the film was unable to overcome its television origins, and while perhaps being an amiable spin-off, did not succesfully accomplish the transition to the big screen.

Serenity has received a fresh rating of 80% from the movie review website Rotten Tomatoes. It has also been well received by users of IMDb, who have rated the film well enough for it to gain a spot on IMDb's list of the top 250 movies of all time. The film came in at #2 its opening weekend, earning $10.1 million from 2,188 theaters, a $4,610 per screen average. The opening weekend numbers failed to meet some expectations encouraged by the early positive reviews and unique marketing strategies. However, Universal Pictures, the movie's distributor, stated that "the opening was where we thought it would be" http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=1910&p=.htm.
