Scott Pilgrim is a fantastic movie packed with video game references and worked on many levels. It made $30 million (half of its production budget) in a month and is already out of most theaters.

Machete is a fun, ridiculous action film that developed an Internet cult following due to Robert Rodriguez’ fake trailer in Grindhouse. It made $20 million over 10 days.

Resident Evil: Afterlife is a giant piece of crap that doesn’t work as an action movie, doesn’t work as a horror movie, certainly doesn’t work as a video game movie, and has almost nothing to do with the video game series from which it takes its name. It made more than $27 million in its opening weekend.

Not much more can be said.
