It was trounced by the balls-to-the-wall action meltdown that is Sylvester Stallone&#8217;s The Expendables, which raked in $35 million, and couldn&#8217;t even creep past Christopher Nolan&#8217;s Inception in its fifth week.<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, I wasn&#8217;t expecting Scott Pilgrim to do massive numbers \u2013 it&#8217;s not that the movie is bad, it&#8217;s just targeted at a specific part of a youth audience and basically nobody else. It&#8217;s polarised critics, as well, which probably hasn&#8217;t helped it along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, bad reviews didn&#8217;t stop The Expendables from sucking in the cash. I guess it helps when you have Stallone, Statham, Li, Rourke and Willis in the same movie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scott Pilgrim Vs The World falters in the US; wide international release still to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":11506,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"MSN_Categories":"Uncategorized","MSN_Publish_Option":false,"MSN_Is_Local_News":false,"MSN_Is_AIAC_Included":"Empty","MSN_Location":"[]","MSN_Add_Feature_Img_On_Top_Of_Post":false,"MSN_Has_Custom_Author":false,"MSN_Custom_Author":"","MSN_Has_Custom_Canonical_Url":false,"MSN_Custom_Canonical_Url":""},"categories":[1,140],"tags":[98,1440,1476],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/spvtw.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11496"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11496"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11496\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11496"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11496"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
