Green Lantern Box Office Prediction Thread - Part 2

Yes it does! It's seriously an annoying whinefest!

Oh, please. Out of the thousands of songs that were written and released over the decades, Ozzy Osbourne's is one of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of all time. "Iron Man" won a Grammy for best Performance in 2000, 30 years after the song was released. The song was even featured in the 2005 version of "Guitar Hero".

Ozzy Iron Man - "Now the time is here
For Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved"

Marvel Iron Man - "Tony Stark makes you feel. He's the cool exec with a heart of steele."


See the difference?

 

[Tony Stark]

By the way Pete Townshend also wrote a song about Iron Man, only it was based on the children's book by Ted Hughes, which also has nothing to do with the Marvel Iron Man, but was popularized in the animated film in 1999 The Iron Giant.

 

[Tony Stark]

And to further prove my point that the song thing is a bunch of crap, one of the most popular songs from the 1960 by Donovan, Sunshine Superman:

"Superman or Green Lantern ain't got a-nothin' on me
I can make like a turtle and dive for your pearls in the sea, yeah!
A you-you-you can just sit there a-thinking on your velvet throne
'bout all the rainbows a-you can a-have for your own
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine"

With Monday totals GL hoisted itself to the $110m mark with a pick up of about $400K.

Be curious to see how many screens it loses this weekend to Potter. Probably most of it's 3-D screens that remain I'd guess.

If you want to see the movie again, you'd better do it before Friday. It's barely at any of the theaters in my area.

There is a report in China Daily that says that the worldwide marketing tab for "Green Lantern" was more like $125 million. Note that the number quoted in The Hollywood Reporter was an estimate derived from outside sources.

How is that?

 

[Gamma Burst]

How is that?

I have no idea,but I'm sure dnno1 will come up with something.

 

[Mysteryman]

I am sure the $125 million is just a work of fiction cooked up by WB to save face.
It means nothing and it CANNOT be conclusively proven.

A blurb in the Bhutan Observer says otherwise.

 

[Red Mask]

"In darkest space...and coldest too...judge me not by my size, will you...."

When evil looms, their rings held high.
Green Lanterns bring the Light.
Come in our darkest hour, galactic emerald knights.
Galactic emerald knights, Green Lanterns!

EVERYBODY SING ALONG! SING! SING! t:

The fact that Green Hornet is going to end up making more money than Green Lantern is really funny to me. Never would have imagined it but hilarious none the less.

 

[Red Mask]

So far the foreign countries have earned no more than seven figures each to this nine figure bomb. There are over a dozen countries left to show the movie. So if they also earn seven figure profits in US dollars we can expect what? Another 33 million until September?

Where did you read that?

 

[Silver Surfer]

You really think GL tops off 228 mil with Harry Potter, Cap and C&A on the way? It's already at 10th place and falling.

 

[Red Mask]

I can see the promos for Japan right now.

"Hey Japan! GL's special effects are bland but they're still better than yours! Watch this movie because America needs your yen. Green is good."

228 mil? How?

It's going to be more like sub 200 mil - WW.

 

[Rock Sexton]

Where did you read that?

Just go look at the numbers on Box Office Mojo ....

 

[Man in the Suit]

Dnno is hilarious.

 

[Silver Surfer]

228 mil? How?

It's going to be more like sub 200 mil - WW.

Hence my point that Green Hornet will out gross Green Lantern.

 

[dnno1]

..... and your point?

My point is that the $175 million figure quoted by THR might be questionable.
