Veronica Mars Kickstarter Movie Projects Exceeds $1 Million On First Day!

Veron­ica Mars Kick­starter Movie Projects Exceeds $1 Mil­lion On First Day!

Wow! I knew there was a loyal fan­base for Veron­ica Mars, but $1,143,934 (and count­ing since the day isn’t over) on the first day. Is that some sort of Kick­starter record?

It also means that this, which appar­ently has the largest goal ever set for a project on Kick­starter is already half way to its goal with a month to go.

    I think that record may fall. These num­bers are ris­ing as I speak: $1,160,340 now.

    This low bud­get movie might not be so low after all…

    Moth­er­fucker.

    Would a Fire­fly kick­starter actu­ally meet the goal before it went live?

    I want to con­tribute just for the t-shirt but I will prob­a­bly never watch it.

    Did the math a minute ago, the aver­age dona­tion is $69. I’m hard pressed to think of what I would pay $69 to fund, movie-wise, I mean. Those are some ded­i­cated fans.

    And the fact that the major­ity of the donors are prob­a­bly Amer­i­cans, since there’s only one award level that isn’t marked with “Ships within the US only.”

    Peo­ple hap­pily spend $69 to go to a con­cert, why not spend $50 to get a DVD of a movie you want to see, along with the t-shirt, script PDF and behind the scenes updates?

    It hon­estly seems like a good deal to me.

    If this rate con­tin­ues it may hit the $2 mil­lion goal before the day is over.

    It is insane to me that so many of the really high level lim­ited things have gone so fast.

    Part of why I’ve only pledged for $10 so far is that I’m pretty sure they’re going to add in more perks later and I want to see what they are.

    I think if they break the $2 mil­lion bar­rier today we’re quickly going to see stretch goals. $2 mil­lion is really only TV episode level bud­get after all.

    :) I’m cheap so I don’t go to con­certs and I think pay­ing more than $40 for that is crazy too. So that’s where I’m com­ing from. Hey, if peo­ple want to get this done, good for them. I’m not really ques­tion­ing that. Just try­ing to fig­ure out what I would want made badly enough to part with that kind of money.

    Well I’ve eas­ily spent more than $50 to enjoy a restau­rant meal with my wife before…

    I hap­pily spend $300 on phones and com­put­ers. Hell I’m pay­ing $80 a month for Dish Net­work. $50 doesn’t buy a lot of lux­u­ries these days.

    Exactly. It’s all a mat­ter of pref­er­ence and priorities.

    The only locked posts are the Sci Fi Bat­tle Royale ones +Olivio Sarikas. And that’s delib­er­ate because it’s a re-share from a dis­cus­sion in my SciFi Community.

    I’m in…besides, I need a new t-shirt

    My daugh­ter made con­verts out of the whole fam­ily when this show was in early re-runs…great writing…kept you guessing

    We even made a “pil­grim­age” to the loca­tion that fronted for the Mars’ apart­ment build­ing one time when we were in San Diego (don’t say it)  :-)

    Quirky show…played really well in episode order via DVD

    And now it’s passed $1.5 mil­lion. Watch­ing the num­ber climb is strangely addicting.
