Scott Pilgrim VS the World - Possible Flop???

No! I loved the movie! The budget was 60-90 mil, and they only got 10 mil on the opening weekend? Come on people... I really don't want this to end as a flop. One of the best movies this summer.

I wanna see it, but I never really go to the theatres. Who knows though? Lots of good movies go under the radar.

I'm seeing it tomorrow. Can't wait.

Yeah, after Kick-Ass and now this, this is probably the last we'll see of indie comics being made into big budget movies for a while.

Which is a shame, because some of them have fantastic stories and characters and style which could be made into just as good if not better movies than big name superheroes, but I guess the big name comic superhero approach is much more financially safe.

I really wanted to see it and so did a couple of my friends, but the movie theatre in my city isn't showing it.

I hope it does better, it was great.

Damn! This movie was amazing. But yeah everyone thinks it looks bad apparently. They suck

I guess the only thing fans can hope for is that they do the film proper justice when it's released on DVD.

it depends on the nerd population.

i mean wow no matter how much of a nerd you are your going to miss so many jokes and refrences. they litterly have a good 20 jokes and refrences for each type of geek.

like for heavy anime fans there are a ton of little hints at anime in it. and come on one of the charecters looks identical to misa from death note

It was good, but I don't have my hopes up that it'll perform well. It's definitely a nerdy movie, and that doesn't appeal to the majority. I consider myself a nerd too, but when I watched it, I was probably the least nerdy person in the theater, and that has never happened to me before :P. Scratch that; I saw Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Movie Film for Theaters when it was playing.

I could see the Avatar effect happen on a smaller scale here. As in the opening is not incredible, but the numbers grow as people spread the word on how great this movie is.

I think that it's Micheal Cera's fault lol. Him and McLovin play the same person in practically every movie. The only reason i would want SP to do better is for Mary Elizabeth Winstead's sake lol. This, Kick-Ass, and Serenity will for the most part, just be cult favorites that may get thier due later.Kurushio

I am saying this could be a mini Avatar effect. (bad opening, long sale legs)

For the biggest grossing movie of all time, 77 million opening was pretty bad(less than 5% its total). Scott Pilgrim could draw in more people later (like avatar) as people spread the word, as the commercials were not that good. It could very probable gross more than 100 million in the long run.

It looks good, despite never having heard of the comics before. I'll probably go and see it when it comes out over here.Bourbons3

I heard of, but never read the comics. And I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.

If you a gamer (as this site implies) you will enjoy this movie.

it really was an amazing movie. You guys who didn't see it are missing out

I don't go to theaters. I might buy it when it comes outLegolas_Katarn

i still need to see the other guys.

and also the main character in Scott Pilgrim VS the world is the person i hate the most. :P

Isn't the movie's target audience the same people who'd be least likely to have the attention span needed to sit through an entire movie?

Well the awful trailer didn't help.IAMSERIAL

As much as I want to support Cera and any film that reps Toronto that movie just looks terrible. The concept is so stupid and I don't care how many little wink,wink,nudge,nudge nerd jokes are in a movie that's no reason to see a movie, the internet is way better at making subtle nerd jokes. My friend said he really liked it but unless I was tripped out on shrooms I wouldn't see it.

The previews and trailer weren't very appealing and while I love the Rickenbacker bass, the poster doesn't say much about the movie. On top of the bad marketing, people are kinda getting tired of Michael Cera. :)

10 million is only it's domestic gross, it hasn't really be released else where yet so it's still early days. Hot Fuzz made 23 million domestic but 56 million worldwide, so it's still to soon to tell.hesel
