"The box office statistics were released on Friday, and "Green Lantern" lived up to expectations and won the championship!"

Seeing the news title in the newspaper, Matthew initially thought that "Green Lantern" had an unexpected situation, but when he saw the box office numbers, he was basically relieved.

"Green Lantern" can be airborne the box office champion of the day when it is released. It is not that it has achieved explosive box office results, but that there are no hot-selling movies in the market at the same time. It can be said that it is in a vacuum period of large-scale commercial films.

The early game was $3.3 million, and the first day included $17.6 million, which is really not enough for a film whose production cost is as high as $250 million.

According to news that Matthew received from Warner Bros., Warner Bros.'s global marketing and distribution investment in "Green Lantern" is also close to the production cost.

In other words, this is a top-notch production with a volume of about $500 million.

For such a film, the box office in North America is less than 350 million, and the global box office is less than 700 million US dollars, which is a disaster.

The box office results on the first day were far from ideal. Perhaps some people are still hoping for a stable and perverted box office trend like "Green Lantern" in "Avatar".

But the 22% drop on Saturday the next day made everyone, including Warner Bros., know that "Green Lantern" will only slide quickly and cannot rise against the trend.

From a box office revenue of $17.6 million on the first day to a drop to $13.8 million on the second day, it almost indicates that a box office tragedy is happening.

What's worse is that the reputation of this film has been ruined from the media to critics to ordinary audiences.

And unlike the "Twilight" series, "Twilight" has a bad reputation, but its evaluation and reputation among the special group of young women is simply overwhelming.

"Green Lantern" basically cannot find the majority of people you like, and even the comic fans of D don't like it.

The plot of the movie is very big compared to any comic book "Green Lantern" and the adaptation is very big. For a black version of Hal Jordan, except for a few black audiences, D fans all criticized Warner Bros. and D comics for doubting their lives.

"Will Smith is very charming, I admit that, but a black man, Hal Jordan, said he could not accept it."

"What the hell is the producer thinking, why did he turn Green Lantern into black?"

"This completely rejects the comic's setting. As a comic fan, I can only say something."

Even the comic fans could not please me, the reputation of "Green Lantern" could only fall completely.

“Child dialogue and poor character shaping drag down the incredibly successful special effects images.”

"Watching Green Lantern is a harmless way to waste two hours of your life, but it's simply impossible to imagine that this green thing wrapped character can become a Batman contender."

“Green Lantern is not just bad, it is even worse than Fantastic Four 2!”

"The story is really mediocre and lazy, and it doesn't have much connection with the comics, and it's also uncomfortable to look like you're going to shoot a sequel."

On Sunday, the film's single-day gains fell below $10 million, with a cumulative box office of $39.5 million in the first weekend.

Inemasore theater audience survey, there were more than 4,000 ordinary movie fans who gave the average "b-" score of "Green Lantern" after watching the movie, which is a bit bad for any movie.

On Monday, inemasore released its North American box office forecast for "Green Lantern" obtained through field market research, believing that the film's North American box office revenue will be difficult to exceed the $100 million mark.

For a film with such a huge investment amount, this will undoubtedly be a crushing defeat.

The subsequent box office trend also confirms this. Not only did "Green Lantern" not only had the box office seriously lower than the expectations of Warner Bros. and D-comics in the first weekend, but it lost the throne of the North American box office rankings in the second weekend.

Originally, given the super size of "Green Lantern" and the huge resources invested by Warner Bros., no first-line production is scheduled to be released on the weekend of this film. The highest production cost for several films released on the second weekend of May is only $32 million in "The Most Breathable Bridesmaids".

But this medium-sized production released by Universal Pictures hit the box office championship with more than $26.7 million on the weekend, squeezing "Green Lantern" to the second place.

"Green Lantern"'s box office plummeted by 65% ​​the next weekend, earning only $13.8 million.

After this weekend, Green Lantern's North American box office is extremely difficult to cross the $50 million mark.

Many films have poor box office in North America and can also expect to be more extensive overseas markets. The overseas response of "Green Lantern" is also poor.

To be exact, it's as bad as North America.

Perhaps affected by the extremely poor performance in North America, "Green Lantern" was released in more than 80 countries and regions overseas this weekend, but the box office was only 31 million US dollars.

According to normal trends, the overseas box office of this film will not be much higher than that of North America.

The industry generally dissatisfies the prospects of "Green Lantern". None of the market research and estimate agencies related to the film industry believe that the final global box office of "Green Lantern" can be more than $150 million.

Could the trend of "Green Lantern" change? Matthew has watched the list of released videos in the summer, and it is absolutely impossible to make a judgment directly.

On the third weekend of "Green Lantern", D Comics welcomed its good friends and old gay friends. "X-Men: The First Battle" produced and released by 20th Century Fox was launched in North American theaters.

Matthew received invitations from James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender to prepare for the role of "American Sniper", while taking time to participate in the premiere of X-Men: The First Battle.

Magneto, Professor X and the Magic Girl also launched a prelude to the three-match battle on the screen.

After the premiere, Matthew will of course play Jennifer Lawrence, who plays the magical girl, come back to Horner Manor, learn again about Teacher Chen's excellent style of reviewing the past and learning new things, practice and take pictures of milk to apply faces.

Perhaps because he thought Matthew's photography skills were not professional enough, after washing his face with no makeup, Jennifer Lawrence took a selfie, just like last time, saying that he wanted to keep it as a souvenir.

Anyway, there is only Jennifer Lawrence in the photo, and Matthew also goes with her.

If you want to become a star, you must have very strong psychological qualities.

Jennifer Lawrence undoubtedly possesses most of the excellent qualities of becoming a star, knows how to sell character designs, dares to think and do, etc.

For Matthew, the only regret is that Jennifer Lawrence has an Oscar nomination for Best Actress, and now there is a magical girl. The second part of "The Hunger Games" is definitely not like the first part that can be handled with hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it will inevitably require a large amount to increase the pay.

If it weren't for signing a full series of collaborations before, once the Hunger Games was a hit at the box office, Jennifer Lawrence's single-piece pay would have increased to more than $10 million.

Speaking of which, the box office of "X-Men: The First Weekend" was not very high, but unlike Warner Bros., Twentieth Century Fox has the previous successful "X-Men" trilogy to the bottom, which controls the investment in publicity and promotion, especially the scale of publicity, which is far inferior to the film "Green Lantern".

The $55.1 million box office in North America ensures that "X-Men: The First Battle" will become the box office champion in the new week.

Unfortunately, Green Lantern once again plummeted by 60%, winning only $5.1 million this weekend, and has already withdrawn from the top five in the box office list.

In addition, the number of theaters for this film has dropped sharply from nearly 4,100 to less than 3,000.

Matthew also learned a series of news from Warner Bros. First, the film director Martin Campbell was directly on the Warner Bros. Several film companies that were originally talking to him quietly dispelled their intention to cooperate with Martin Campbell.

According to Helen Hermann, Martin Campbell, who is already in his sixties, is very likely to retire and completely fade out of the film industry.

The film has fallen from reputation to box office, and Warner Bros. has had to adjust the "Justice League" plan across the board. The Justice League universe cannot give up, so it can only sacrifice Green Lantern.

Warner Bros. was forced to change his plan. "Green Lantern" is no longer the beginning of the Justice League universe. The entire series was handed over to Zach Schneider's "Superman: Man of Steel". To be on the safe side, Warner Bros. also hired Christopher Nolan as the producer of "Superman: Man of Steel".

As for Green Lantern, he was temporarily kicked out of the Justice League plan by Warner Bros.

Matthew received another invitation from Warner Bros. Warner Bros. offered a generous offer of $30 million plus 15% of total revenue, inviting him to play Clark Kent.

It is no exaggeration to say that in order for the Justice League universe to have a successful start, Warner Bros. really fought hard.

However, Matthew rejected Warner Bros.'s invitation on the grounds that the schedule is not appropriate.

Moreover, his schedule is indeed not suitable. Next, he will film "American Sniper" and "Fast and Furious 6", and fly to Mars to grow potatoes.

Matthew had neither interest nor time to play a superhero.

In the failure of "Green Lantern", Warner Bros.'s Justice League plan was the most severely affected, and Will Smith ranked second.

After failing to compete with Matthew for the male lead in "I Am Legend", the black actor returned to Hollywood's first-line production after many years, but did not achieve the expected success. Instead, he encountered one of the most serious box office tragedies in Hollywood in recent years.

If Will Smith, who had been successful in first-line production before 2007, could withstand such a film even if the production cost was as high as 250 million US dollars, he could withstand it if it failed. Although it would be affected to a certain extent, it would not be a fatal injury.
