I was pretty disappointed by the box office performance of the Scott Pilgrim movie. I also hate complaining when my favorite movies or shows get canceled, so I decided to try and do something this time and get the word out about the movie's performance. I started a Scott Pilgrim vs The Box Office contest to try and rally people behind #SaveScottPilgrim so that it can stay in theaters and hopefully we can get more movies like it. My goal is to get 400 people to tweet about the contest or join the Facebook page. If that happens, I'm going to give away a copy of the game.

FaceBook error. :(

Hmm, I only get the error when I'm not logged into Facebook. But still that's annoying. Facebook hates Scott Pilgrim apparently, too. That or they don't have any Top Men.

Everyone not watching the movie because of  Michael Cera is narrow minded however the DVD sales will revive the movie.

Michael Cera haters are entertaining... And the movie was awesome. I joined your group!

Supporting Edgar Wright trumps hurting Michael Cera, but I agree Cera needs to be taken down a few notches. 
 
Thanks for joining the group.

How is that narrow minded?  That's like calling someone narrow minded because you told them about this really good Chinese restaurant but they decided not to go there because they don't like Chinese food. "

well your example is shitty cause cera isn't in this movie all the time  a better example would be you refuse to go to a mates party cause one of the types of drink they are drinking is a type you hate "

I am not liking where this thread will lead. 
 
A fight between Michael Cera haters and apologists.

Are you telling me that Scott Pilgrim would still be a good movie if someone closed their eyes and ears every time Michael Cera was on screen? "

Hipster asshole can die for all I care!

One of the best movies this year

Any discussion outside the game leads to a lot of heated words. 
 
I like Mr. Wright, so I might click your button.

I don't like Michael Cera all that much and I enjoyed the movie.

I thought the movie was good despite Michael Cera. That awkward nerdy thing is pretty old now. Of course I think most actors don't really act any how. You just see them play themselves for the most part. "

DVD sales will probably still be weak, it's marketed towards the Download Generation.

" Hipster assholes can die for all I care! "

Alright,screw it, i was looking for an excuse to go see it again.

I read your post wrong.  I don't see why many people hate him.  I guess it's his face or something but I feel like the haters are going to say they hated/not gonna watch the movie/this movie sucks because of Michael Cera while the guys that like the movie or Cera will fight them and that never turns out well.  However I know there are people that hate him but love the movie.

It's not his face. It's just that he's type-casted to do the same damn thing over and over again. Seeing the same dog gamned actor doing the same dog gamned thing over and over again gets tiresome.   It's like he's not Scott Pilgrim, he's just Michael Cera but people call him Scott Pilgrim for some reason.  To be fair that fat guy that seems to be popping up in every comedy movie after The Hangover is starting to get grating too. "

Oh, wow...I didn't realize there was such a anti/pro-Cera War going on out there. I liked the kid in Arrested Development, Juno, and Superbad, but he was pretty terrible here in Scott Pilgrim. Maybe I would've felt differently if I haven't read the comics, but he just didn't fit the role. Mary Elizabeth Winstead, on the other hand, was perfect. as Ramona.
 
Overall, I'm not surprised the movie didn't do too well. It's very much a niche movie...and not particularly a great one at that. 

I just really just Edgar Wright to succeed rather than the film. Don't get me wrong, the film is good but Wright is the star of the movie. 

im gonna go see the movie tonight.

There's no hope in saving this amazing movie :(

Me and 6 mates from uni are planning on going to see it on opening night here in the UK (wednesday).

I'd participate if I had a Twitter account. The movie wasn't the greatest but it deserved to do way better than it did.

Your argument is rendered invalid. 
 
   Congratulations, you don't even know what Hipster means.  
For the record, it is someone who appropriates a culture they don't understand in hopes of making themselves look cooler to other people who don't understand it.   
Scott Pilgrim is a movie about a comic written by a guy who lived in a basement and played NES during his childhood. 
The movie is directed by a guy who has been wanting to shoot it for years because he is a fan of the comic. 
By not seeing this movie you are pretty much fucking over your own people.  "

well the movie didnt do amazing but it did ok. i actually thought the movie was not great. i liked that they took risks and made a different kind of movie. but it draaaaaagggged on and on and on and i was actually yawning towards the end. WHICH I NEVER DO! i love movies. i think they needed to make this an hour and a half instead of 2 hours and it would of been much better.  also i looked up the girl that played ramona flowers and was disappointed :( i really liked her in the movie and now i am stuck liking a fictional character because the actress herself is nothing like her. (in terms of appearance)

I am in favor of this. I loved the Movie and think it deserves better.

An Epic of Epic Epicness

Me personally I absolutely adored this film, then again I try not to hate everything for some silly reason like I think it'd make me cool or something.
 
Seriously this movie is doing so bad Edgar Wright is probably going to have to beg the studios to even get another movie, and it's all on the shoulder of people who have silly, petty reasons to not want to go see it.
 
A great director's career might not survive.  Congratulations world, you probably don't deserve his work anyway.

Unfortunately, I think its time to shine will be on home release (and largely amongst Canadians like myself). Already seen it twice in the theatre, I'll keep supporting it!

*Ehem* 
 
I didn't watch the movie because I'm not in the mood for another fun, mindless romp. I'll probably rent it on DVD again, but I simply don't care enough to go see it.

I'm interested to see how it does opening weekend here in the UK; I get the feeling it'll do really well.

The screening of it I went to see here in Ireland was packed. It was difficult to get a good seat.

I think the movie will have legs when it hits DVD.  Lots of movies, like Boondock Saints, do awful in theaters and have great video sales.

I'd love to join, but I don't live in America, and Scott Pilgrim isn't coming to where I live until November. So, fuck that.

So hey get this I just checked and Scott Pilgrim hasn't made it into the top 10 pirated movies for the past three weeks, or at all. 
 
Maybe it does have a life for it on DVD. 
 
This is what happens when you do good by the nerd audience.

I'm totally in lesbians with the Scott Pilgrim movie. So this is fine by me.
