Critics should think about how the opening weekend audience might want to discover some surprises for themselves.

Sometimes, some things have to settle, and you have to think about the intention of it.

I think, 'Scott Pilgrim,' it was something where the general audience didn't necessarily understand straight away what it was.

It's interesting that some people reading the comics see Scott Pilgrim as a blank slate in that they like to imagine themselves as Scott Pilgrim, so it's interesting that there are two kind of schools of thought about the character. One is, like, Scott Pilgrim is awesome. The second is Scott Pilgrim believes himself to be awesome.

Comics have years to explain this stuff, and in a movie, you have to focus on one thing. So it's about kind of streamlining, I think. Some of the most successful origin films actually have a narrower focus.

I think you'll probably see an extension of this rally next week, barring any surprises over the weekend and assuming the ISM number Monday is positive.
