Putting 'Scott Pilgrim' into perspective

With today being a holiday and all, I decided to do something a little different and kick "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" while it was down.

After the results of this weekend's box office came in, the movie is now in 18th place with a grand total of $28.9 million.

Its budget is $60 million, so unless it makes a ton of money overseas it's going to be considered a bomb.

So, to rub salt in the wound here are some movies that actually, and surprisingly, did better at the box office:

"Charlie St. Cloud" - $30 million
"Vampires Suck" - $33 million
"Marmaduke" - $33 million
"Meet the Spartans" - $38 million
"Step Up 3D" - $41 million
"Tooth Fairy" - $61 million

Heck, "Norbit" even made $95 million!

"Norbit!"

I am not a total monster.

I will give "Scott Pilgrim" a little bit of credit.

It did make a lot more than "From Justin to Kelly."
