It honestly looks like something I would watch while on LSD. The trailers make it look MTV-style. I'm hoping it's not...hence the rental. Good word of mouth is the only reason I am watching this. The last blind buy I trusted the 'cool' posters with was Trick R Treat, and it was a piece of shit.

I would say that it's an extremely fast paced film as it's taking six books worth of information and cramming it into a run time under that of two hours, but I wouldn't say that it's edited or stylized that only one with ADHD could enjoy.

I saw this 5 times and will be buying it on day 1. Glad to see we're at least getting a quick turnaround since the movie fizzled at the box office.

Day 1 purchase for me. I loved this flick.

Agreed, I think that would have just left people confused. Something like that might work for say... Tropic Thunder where the famous actors would be enough to carry that kind of advertising, but no one is going to care enough to see Chris Evans or Brandon Routh going after Michael Cera.

I think a 30 - 90 second trailer or tv spot is going to be a hard sell for this movie no matter how you change things up. The actors, dialog, and premise just aren't going to appeal to a wide demographic.

Well, is it safe to assume you don't have a girlfriend? I don't think I've ever seen a movie more then once in a Theater. But you saw it five times? Please tell me you work their and it's simply because you need to make sure the exit doors are locked because I can't fathom why anyone would see a movie five times in the short amount of time it had at the box office. I don't think I've even seen the same porn five times.

Sorry, I just don't understand how people watch a film so much in such a little time.

While I can't speak for mdc, for what it's worth, I saw the film multiple times, and I do have a girlfriend. Hell, she enjoyed the film more than I did...

Yes!!!! A release date in time for Christmas! I'm hoping we get a few "Guest Commentaries" on this release like maybe Simon Pegg or Kevin Smith or maybe even anoth Tarantino Guest track. My 2nd favorite movie of the year so far and I hope this Blu-Ray is PACKED!!!!

Definite Day 1 purchase. I loved this movie!

At the Empire Moviecon in London in August he said they had recorded one the day before.

Day 4 purchase for me.

A mid-morning day 3 for me!

I saw the film twice. Once with the girlfriend and once by myself during a day where I just theater hopped for an entire day (also watched both Inception and Step Up 3-D for a second time on that day as well).

I've seen a handful of movies five times in theaters. Some I will admit to, like Serenity or The Girl Next Door. Others, let's just say I won't.

I wonder if they even got the fanboy's money.

I saw the movie like most of my friends did with sneak preview passes they gave out at the comic book stores.

The core group of buyers probably all saw the movie for free.

I finally saw it last week and I think I'm going to have to pick it up...eventually.

Two words: Michael. Cera.

Michael Cera is box office poison. While he was good in this, I think audiences are done with him, and the B.O. for Pilgrim proved it.

This comes up a lot, but think about the math. I don't know how many free screenings there were, but say there were 100. An average theater holds...let's go with 200 people. If every one of those people in every screening had paid $10 for a ticket, that's a measly $200,000. Even if you think I'm low-balling and you double or triple that number, it's still insignificant.

Meanwhile, the movie opened on 2,818 screens with an average of 5 showings a day. Over a three day weekend, that adds up to 42,270 paid showings of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. The potential audience for 42,270 screenings almost completely drained away by the people who caught 100 free showings...?

If the core audience caught the free preview screenings and were satisfied, then the movie was doomed for failure at the box office regardless.

I do actually and she went 3 of the times! I kept telling people they had to see it and when their response was 'meh', I literally dragged them to the theatre, which ended up in a lot of repeat viewings. Every single one of them ended up loving the movie (I'm sure it helps that most of the people I saw it with all went to University in Toronto like I did, so watching it takes you to that place/time).

I've seen many movies more than once though, I did use to work at a theatre growing up and when they were free, would see them more than once - the habit just stuck.... If you'd seen Scott Pilgrim, you'd understand why someone would want to see it more than once.

Saw it yesterday and loved it. Buying it day one for sure.

The marketing absolutely sucked. Not only did it not give you any reason to go see the movie, but they also gave up on it way too soon. It seems like they did a blitz way too early (like six months before it came out) and then did a short one-week run the week before it came out.

They could have taken it (in a light-hearted way) from the aspect of: "Every so often, a film comes a long that defines a generation...." I personally think the film (the story and method of movie-making) is a perfect representative of the current generation of teens – a lot like a movie like The Breakfast Club was in the 80s.

It's not - the trailers make it look a lot more hyperkinetic than it really is. Actually, while it does have some quick-cuts (ala, Hot Fuzz), they're mostly done for effect and not to mask any sort of deficiency in film making. It actually has more long fluid takes than most of your typical Hollywood movies.

The trailers turned me off. Like Funny People, Universal just can't cut a proper trailer.

But I'll give Scotty a chance. Hope I'm wrong since I like Cera.

^ You're wrong. It sucked.

^ He's not wrong. It ruled.

If I were only allowed to own one of the Blu-ray titles released this year, it would be the Alien Anthology. But if I were allowed two, the second would be Scott Pilgrim without a doubt.

Scott Pilgrim vs My BD Player is coming soon! Day 1 for me.

I almost never buy movies on the day of release but I will make an exception for this one. Edgar Wright deserves it, and I know I'll be happy watching this again the second I put it on to watch.
