They scored about the same box office but doesn't it show actually why Zac Efron is much more of a star than people are giving him credit for. Scott Pilgrim had a large advertising campaign with promotion building for 15 months, it had a large cast behind the star Michael Cera who could promote it, and it had great reviews. Charlie St. Cloud had terrible advertising that started only 11 weeks before the film came out, Zac Efron was the only one pushing it, and it had terrible reviews. There were many reasons for people to turn up to Scott Pilgrim. Where as Zac Efron's the only reason people turned up to Charlie St. Cloud and he did equal business. It is unfortunate for Scott Pilgrim and for Zac Efron. Both deserved better than Universal. It’s funny you compare Scott Pilgrim to Charlie St. Cloud.
