"Friday's box office statistics are released, and "Green Lantern" lives up to expectations and wins!"

Seeing the headlines 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" was able to become the box office champion on the day it was released, not because it achieved explosive box office results, but because there were no hot-selling movies in the market during the same period. It can be said that it was in a vacuum period of large-scale commercial movies.

$3.3 million in advance, and $17.6 million including the first day, is really not enough for a film that only cost $250 million to make.

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

In other words, this is a top-level production with a volume of about 500 million US dollars.

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

The box office results on the first day were far from ideal, and perhaps some people are still pinning their hopes on the stable to abnormal box office trend of "Green Lantern" staged "Avatar".

But the 22 percent drop on Saturday the next day made everyone, including Warner Bros., know that Green Lantern would only slide quickly and not rise against the trend.

From $17.6 million on the first day, to $13.8 million on the second day, it almost portends a box-office fiasco.

To make matters worse, the film's reputation has rotted from the media to critics to the general audience.

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

"Green Lantern" basically can't find the majority of people who like it, even DC comics fans don't like it.

Compared with any "Green Lantern" comics, the plot of the movie is very large. For a black version of Hal Jordan, except for a small number of black audiences, DC fans have sprayed Warner Bros. and DC comics to doubt life.

"Will Smith is very charismatic, I admit that, but a black Hal Jordan, said it was unacceptable."

"What on earth did the producers think, why did they make Green Lantern black?"

"This completely rejects the setting of the comics. As a comics fan, I can only say something."

Under the circumstance that even comic fans can't please, the word-of-mouth of "Green Lantern" can only fall completely.

"The childish dialogue and poor character-building hamper the incredibly successful special effects graphics."

"Watching 'Green Lantern' is a harmless way to waste two hours of your life, but it's impossible to imagine this character wrapped in green stuff being a contender for Batman."

"Green Lantern isn't just bad, it's worse than Fantastic Four 2!"

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

By Sunday, the film's one-day take fell below $10 million, and its opening weekend grossed $39.5 million.

The Cinema audience survey, totaling more than 4,000 regular moviegoers, gave Green Lantern an average "B-" right after watching the movie, which is kind of bad for any movie.

On Monday, Cinema released its North American box-office forecast for "Green Lantern," based on on-the-ground market research.

For a film with such a huge investment, it would undoubtedly be a fiasco.

The subsequent box office trend also confirms this. Not only did "Green Lantern" seriously lower the box office of Warner Bros. and DC Comics in the first weekend, but also lost the top spot in the North American box office chart in the second weekend.

Originally, in view of the super size of "Green Lantern" and the huge resources invested by Warner Bros., many companies did not have first-line major productions scheduled to be released on the next weekend of this film. Several films released on the second weekend of May cost the production cost. The highest is nothing more than the $32 million "Best of Bridesmaids."

But the middling production, produced and distributed by Universal, topped the box-office chart with more than $26.7 million over its opening weekend, pushing Green Lantern to No. 2.

"Green Lantern" slumped 65 percent at the box office the following weekend, grossing just $13.8 million.

After this weekend, Green Lantern will cross the $50 million mark in a very tough North American box office.

Many films have poor box office in North America, and they can also count on a wider overseas market. The overseas response of "Green Lantern" is also poor.

As bad as North America, to be exact.

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

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

The industry generally looks down on the prospects of "Green Lantern", but none of the market research and estimation agencies related to the film industry believe that the final global box office of "Green Lantern" will exceed 150 million US dollars.

Could Green Lantern's trends change? Matthew has seen the list of movies released in the summer and made a direct judgment - absolutely impossible.

On the third weekend of the release of "Green Lantern", DC Comics welcomed its good friends and old friends, "X-Men: First Class", which was adapted by Marvel Comics and produced and distributed by 20th Century Fox. Landed in North American theaters.

Matthew was invited by James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender to take time out to work on X-Men: First Class while preparing for his role in American Sniper. 's premiere.

Magneto, Professor X and Mystique also launched a prelude to the three-horse battle on the screen.

After the premiere, Matthew will of course invite Jennifer Lawrence, who plays Mystique, to go back to Horner Manor to learn Mr. Chen's fine style of learning from the past, practice and photograph the special skill of applying milk to the face.

Maybe it was because Matthew's photography skills were not professional enough. After washing his face with plain milk, Jennifer Lawrence deliberately took a selfie. Like last time, she said it was to be kept as a souvenir.

Anyway, there was only Jennifer Lawrence in the photo, and Matthew went with her.

If you want to be a star, you must have a very strong psychological quality.

Jennifer Lawrence undoubtedly has most of the good qualities to become a star, she can sell characters, dare to think and act and so on.

For Matthew, the only pity is that Jennifer Lawrence has an Oscar nomination for Best Actress, and now there is Mystique, the second "Hunger Games" is definitely not like the first one for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Get it, it is bound to increase the salary by a large amount.

If it hadn't signed a full series of cooperation before, once the "Hunger Games" box office hit the box office, I am afraid that Jennifer Lawrence's single-film salary will increase to more than 10 million US dollars.

Speaking of which, the first weekend of "X-Men: First Class" was not too high, but unlike Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox had the foundation of the previously successful "X-Men" trilogy and controlled the publicity. The investment in publishing, especially the scale of publicity, is far less than that of the film "Green Lantern".

With $55.1 million in North America, X-Men: First Class is guaranteed to be the new week's top box office hit.

Unfortunately, Green Lantern has another 60% slump, taking only $5.1 million this weekend and dropping out of the top five at the box office.

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

At this time, Matthew also learned a series of news from Warner Bros. First, the director of the film, Martin Campbell, was directly blacklisted by Warner Bros. All the film companies that were talking to him have quietly dismissed the relationship with Martin Campbell. Campbell's intention to cooperate.

According to Helen Herman, Martin Campbell, who is in his 60s, is very likely to retire and fade out of the film circle completely.

The film has fallen from word of mouth to box office, and Warner Bros. had to adjust the "Justice League" plan across the board. The Justice League universe is impossible to give up, so it can only sacrifice Green Lantern.

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

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

Matthew received another invitation from Warner Bros. Warner Bros. offered him $30 million plus 15 percent of his gross income to play Clark Kent.

It's no exaggeration to say that Warner Bros. really fought hard to get the Justice League universe off to a successful start.

However, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Matthew still refused the invitation of Warner Bros. on the grounds that the schedule was not suitable.

And his schedule is really inappropriate. Next, he will shoot "American Sniper" and "Fast and Furious 6", and he will also fly to Mars to grow potatoes.

Matthew has neither interest nor time to play superheroes.

The failure of "Green Lantern", Warner Bros.' Justice League project is the most affected, the second is Will Smith.

After failing to compete with Matthew for the lead role of "I Am Legend", the black actor returned to Hollywood's first-tier production after many years, but he did not get the expected success, but suffered the most serious box office tragedy in Hollywood in recent years. one.

If it was Will Smith before 2007, with the continuous success of first-line big productions, even if the production cost of such a film is as high as 250 million US dollars, he can still bear it if it fails, although it will Affected to a certain extent, but not a fatal injury.

But Will Smith has not had a big hit since "When Happiness Comes Knocking", and the failure of "Green Lantern" is far greater than it appears on the surface.
