On IMDb's website, the battle for the TOP-250 list is a slow and steady fight. After more than half a year, the newly crowned Oscar-winner "Firefly" still reigns supreme with a score of 9.3, while "The Godfather" and "The Shawshank Redemption" are both at 9.1. Due to the buzz surrounding "Firefly," 216 North American Cinemas are preparing to re-release it on the big screen on March 10th, aiming to capture both those who missed it and repeat viewers. Based on past performance, it's expected to take in over one million US Dollars in box office revenue.
