Not another Stallone soft porn flick but the Edgar Wright helmed geek-fest Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is sadly getting a right royal drubbing by the testoster-fest The Expendables in the US box-office.
Everyone knows that I have a weakness for crappy action b-movies but Pilgrim really deserved a strong opening after solid reviews and fanbase, but pulling in est. $10million in the opening weekend is indicative of an industry bomb (pulling in some $25million less than Stallone’s offering).
Come on, geeks - get your money out.
EXTRA:
“More bad news for “Scott Pilgrim”: it’s being yanked from screens and released directly to radio.” (quote via Michael Kupperman)
