Here are the final numbers for this box office weekend. Martin Campbell-directed comic book adaptation Green Lantern finished #1 with $53M, way below than previously expected. Film was getting a lot of negative reviews, with couple of good ones here and there.
From Deadline:
"Warner Bros' 3D Green Lantern ($21.6M Friday, dropping -21% for $17.1M Saturday, and only a $53M weekend) underperforms, unable to meet even the studio's lowered expectation for North America despite the higher 3D ticket prices. Green Lantern had well-known actor Ryan Reynolds playing the superhero, yet won't come near that other non-sequel Thor's recent $65.7M opening weekend for Marvel yet starring a complete unknown."
Next week Green Lantern will go against new PIXAR film, Cars 2. Expect a big drop, since it's not getting good buzz and as for international numbers, Deadline says:
"Competitors also told me that the foreign day-and-date opening grosses were off to a "very soft start". Though UK opened #1 with £717k (US$1.2M) from 907 situations, that's less than this summer's openings of X-Men: First Class, Fast Five, and Thor. And the Russia and South Korea debuts weren't strong.
I have to say, it's not looking good for Green Lantern. Well, that's it for this weekend. What do you think of the overall Green Lantern box office performance?
