1986.

Blended together from the massively popular video-game market, superhero comic-books, the punk-rock scene and 1950s science-fiction cinema, Universal Pictures takes a big leap and drops a record-breaking $65 million on Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World, directed by Joe Dante, based on an original screenplay by Chris Columbus, produced by John Hughes and starring Michael J. Fox (coming off the huge success of the studio's own Back to the Future from the year prior) in the title role.

Despite its video-game counter-part, courtesy of a tie-in with Nintendo of America who created the 8-bit platformer, being a huge seller, Scott Pilgrim does decent box office ($84 million) when its released in July 1988. But its viewed as a slight disappointment given its large budget (mostly in part due to its massive level of visual effects work done by George Lucas' Industrial Light & Magic) and heavy marketing push that summer. The same older audiences who flocked to see Back to the Future three years earlier reported walked out calling it "Weird."

Nolan's leanest movie comes in at 100 minutes flat. WB scoffs at the fact that a third of the movie is sans dialogue. But, Wally Pfister's capable cinematography makes most critics continue to suck on Nolan's knob.

The film opens at a lower than expected 54 mil, then quickly dies in the overcrowded Summer 2017 season. After Lionsgate launches Tyler Perry's Emmanuelle 3D, nothing much matters anymore.

Ridley Scott's cryogenically frozen head laughs as Monopoly becomes the highest grossing film in the world.

[Abraham Smashington]

I would watch the shit outta Tyler Perry's Emmanuelle 3D.
