Green Lantern Box Office Prediction Thread - Part 1

[I Am The Knight]

Disappointing numbers for sure. I was hoping it would be able to open to $60+ million.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Daredevil made $40 million on opening weekend while Ghost Rider made $45 million on opening weekend.

Like people have said, that factors in inflation and 3D. Also, GL had a much larger production cost than either of those films did.

When I heard Chris was cast has cap I was worried because Chris like Ryan Reynolds seem to play themselvs in movies. The cocky womanizer type I mean in a lot of ways has actors there not that different but I feel like Cap will be good I always have faith. I dont judge the movie tell I see it.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Well cap is coming a week after Harry Potter so you might get your wish.

Problem with eye for an eye is everyone comes out blind. No one should wish ill of ANY comic adaptation of fan base. It is useless. We're a community, and we all love these characters. Maybe not the same ones, but we love the medium. We should be united in wishing it success.

That's a bad attitude to have. Regardless of how the fans act, a comic book movie is a comic book movie and fans should hope for the best, no matter which company it's coming from.

 

[The Sage]

Hehe, we said the same thing.

It may be a good time for DC and Marvel fans to take a deep breath and take a walk outside. Unless you're on the East Coast, then you should go to bed.

Great minds think a like GL mod

I think it is. The fighting between the groups is stupid.

 

[EML420]

I cant even tell which members on hype are Marvel fans or DC but Ive mainly been posting here latley but still. I like both DC and Marvel the movie seems to be just getting what people think.

How do you know Ryan and Chris are cocky womanizers? I don't know Chris's romantic situation, but Ryan was married for quite a while.

What a horrible mentality you have. I hate the eye for an eye philosophy. You look like as big as a *****e as they do when you wish that.

I have seen no bragging from any Marvel fans so far. Unless you have and I haven't. Just a crappy movie that people are voicing their opinions on.

It's a great thing when all CBM's do well. It's good for all of us. Bickering over it with other idiots gets you nowhere and ill wishing of "the other side" is childish and makes you no better than them.

Well, that part of you is pathetic.

 

[EML420]

I guess playing themselvs is probaly not what I should have said but they seem to be type cast in that role thats for sure.

 

[JP]

I love how anyone who says this film disappointed it labeled a marvel fan.

If Captain America ends up being an AWFUL then it deserves to bomb just like GL has. For me it's all about quality.

I think most people posting here are Marvel fans.

I think most people posting here are also DC fans.

It's supremely silly when people try to take an "us vs them" stance around here, as us and them are generally the same individuals.

 

[I Am The Knight]

I haven't seen much Marvel bragging honestly. Just people spewing vitriol directed at the movie, lol.

And that is why I have avoided messagebaords like the plague. That's like wishing your friend doesn't get his dream job because you got passed up for yours. Will this crap never end? It was bad enough hearing all the Marvel bashing over The Dark Knight, will Green Lantern fans be the next ones to raise the bar on childishness? I really hope not

Captain America and Green Lantern are my two favorite comic book characters, I wouldn't wish ill will to either. One tanked this year, if the other does I'll truly be heartbroken.

 

[HighFivingMF]

CBM. Don't go there.

 

[Karelia]

CBM. Don't go there.

Yeah, that site has some of the worst Comic book fans I've ever seen.

 

[S.A.A.D.]

I hope that The First Avenger: Captain America doesn't become another victim. If it flops I can see DC Comics fans going into that section around this place so they can get revenge by starting a war.

lol, Geoff Johns is that you?
after what Millar said I understand lol.

actually I have a feeling Sith is just saying what a lot of people are thinking,

That's how I feel. Except I genuinely liked the movie and that makes the disappointing box office feel that much worse. I guess I'm lucky two of the other heroes in my top 5 are Superman and Batman, but I'm also unlucky because Barry Allen is the other.
