I just finished reading Scott's Vol. 6 and I really have to say this:
Stephen Stills is gay!

As for the OT, I don't plan on seeing The Expendables until they apologize.
What? That happened all the way back in volume 3.
I really don't remember that.
Well that's what he said. And looking back, I can now see moments where he's referred to like that.
He said volume 5. Stephen Stills said he didn't tell Scott because it seemed like Scott had a lot going on.

Failing to see how this is a big deal (or much of a supprise).

Like.. Holy shit, people want to see action movie more than a movie based on a comic book full of geen humour.

Scott Pilgrim is really a movie just for people who are into Games or Comics, a lot of the jokes would fall short for anyone who isn't in touch with these things. On the other side, The Expendables is a movie for people who like an all star action cast blowing shit up and being awesome.

Not to mention the fact that Scott Pilgrim making less money does in no way make it any less of an amazing film, and one of my all time favs.

What shocked and got me p-jarated is that Eat. Pray. Love. (or Eat. Pray. ZZZZZZZZZZzzzz. to anybody that actually seen it) got over twice what Scott did. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?
Eat. Pray. Zzzzzzzzz. is based off of a well-known book. Scott Pilgrim on the other hand is based off a series of books that barely anybody has read. Oh yeah, and because soccer moms and wannabe-philosophicals gobble that shit up.
True :(

CURSE YOU, BORING NEW YORK BEST SELER!

Scott Pilgrim looked stupid to me, and Moviebob's review didn't change that opinion. I don't like the comics, and I won't like this any more. Expendables...meh. If I were to go see a movie right now, I'd go catch Inception again, heh.

Ugh... what a shame... I think it was even beaten by Eat Pray Love as well...

Whatever, hopefully this means it will go down as a cult classic? I don't care if the majority of movie goers (the same movie goers who gave Transformers 2 $800 million, mind you) were too stupid to not recognize a good movie like that. I hate that people didn't go see it because it was truly excellent and one of the best movies to come out this year; it was even better than Inception.

See, I thought Scott Pilgrim was going to do really well because nearly all of my friends were chomping at the bit to see it.

Then I realized that nearly all of my friends are also geeks, unlike the rest of the world.

Yeah I already corrected that some time ago, but after the other person hit the quote button.

I saw Scott Pilgrim. Twice. I love this movie. I wish it had done better since then more people would read the comics. I really want this to do better next week. I'm even gonna see it again since I really liked this movie. I'm gonna tell a lot of my friends to see this movie since it's awesome.

This really isn't all because of The Expendables, Pilgrim was MASSIVE flop. It made less than Inception in it's 5th week, and lost to The Other Guys in it's second week, as well as the Julia Roberts movie on it's opening week.

Actually looking at those numbers, is it really that bad? The only thing they ensure is that there won't be a sequel and we don't want a sequel anyway do we?

Besides, I bet Terry Gilliam would kill for success like that.
...Y- yes. Those numbers are very bad! 10 million to produce and 10 million weekend!? Thats BAD. And its a shame too.
For the people who funded it maybbe but for us? It won't harm the film in any way and as I've pointed out It won't stop cool and unique films being made. It just means those films won't be Scott Pilgrim clones. And that's a good thing in my book.
I know you probably know, but thats a typo, 60 million to produce, raked in 10.

Hmm, I thought you said 5. But saw this post and thought I just read the original wrong.

Kick Ass also struggled so I'm not surprised. Maybe it will have a long run, some international success and DVD sales to push it to profitability.

Oh, and last year
#9 Alvin and the Chipmunks 2
Domestic: $219,614,612
+ Foreign: $223,524,519
= Worldwide: $443,139,131

#27 District 9
Domestic: $115,646,235
+ Foreign: $95,162,382
= Worldwide: $210,808,617

So commercial success has never really told me anything.

It's okay. You're just hallucinating. It's always said 5. Look at the quote tree.

I'm not too worried about this. I didn't expect it to do well in theaters but Scott Pilgrim is going to make a killing in DVD and Blu-Ray sales.

It's going to be The Boondock Saints all over again.

It's twilight for guys and most of the people squeeling over it are displaying the same level of obnoxiousness they deride in fans of those films.
I wish it was commercially "Twilight for guys" given Twilight sells like hot cakes (600+ million gross worldwide!) so I'd get more of it. I've never had issue with Twilight or any series, let people have fun and enjoy their silliness and I'll enjoy mine. I love Kick Ass and Watchmen and neither of those lit up the world either commercially.

Bingo, or Serenity. Yep, that flopped at box office too. Thank goodness for DVDs giving series second chance to break even or make money.

Side note: Boondock Saints should never have gotten a sequel, just not needed.

District 9:

Domestic Summary
Opening Weekend: $37,354,308
(#1 rank, 3,049 theaters, $12,251 average)
% of Total Gross: 32.3%

The only reason you'd see a result like that is the rating. District 9 was R rated, so was Kick-Ass, R rated movies gross far less than PG-13 movies. Scott Pilgrim is PG-13 and The Expendables is R.
