Also, the studio could be thinking about the value of the Firefly universe as a franchise. If it develops a hard-core fan base even half the size of the Star Trek fanbase, then there’s a lot of money to be made with a trilogy, because you then have the opportunity to re-sell all three movies in a box set, special editions, editions with character figures, yada yada. To say nothing of action figures, model kits, and all the other merchanizing.
Firefly, the flamethrower! That one’s a real hit with the kids.
