Looks like they are getting their info via NY Mag's Vulture blog. They say that Green Lantern currently has 85% total awareness and 45% definite interest. If I understand this correctly, that means that out of the the population of moviegoers (around 214 million) 45% of them (96 million) are definitely interested in this movie. Whether this translates into all of them going to see the film is a slightly different story (some of them may opt to watch it on VoD or DVD). If all of them did go to see the film at an average ticket price of $7.89 this film could gross over $750 million (and that would be assuming that everyone went to see it once).

I am not watching those clips, the damn "From Page to Screen" book already spoiled enough for me.

 

[The Sage]

Guys, just want to repeat, if you're going to discuss the content of what's in the released clips, please use Spoiler tags. Be respectful towards those who haven't watched them or don't want to. And especially towards those who won't get the movie for a couple of months.

Much appreciated.

At least you guys have dates. I'm from a Caribbean island and I have no idea when it will come. Let me give you an example, the movies that are showing at the cinema now are Rio and Fast Five. And Fast Five just opened last week. So that's... June 3rd. Thor still have not reached yet. Story of my life

 

[Mr. Earle]

Dude, you live in the Carribean, what more do you want?

Quick question
I'm getting the GL movie art book tomorrow, is it full of spoilers, I'm trying to steer clear of any footage, info etc

That's what I've heard, most of those books do. So I'd just get it and not bother cracking it open until after the movie.

Yes, there are spoilers in it. Nothing major but there are some spoilerish stuff. It's essentially the Set Visits that the journos went on in July.

I like how they're incorporating the suit designs from the movie in to the comics! Synergy!

kinda weird seeing an alien having the word "hell" in their vocabulary.

Brazil is also in August, and u can include it on this list.

How many downloads do you think it will have? WB is crazy to push the release 2 months after US.

It would be foolish to not think that sentient beings would not have a place where people are banished to suffer as punishment. Whatever that place is, that would be hell and would translate in English as such.

 

[DarkKnight FTW]

I don't like that they attached the first trailer to the Emerald Knights DVD. They should've used the 3rd trailer...that would've been perfect.

Might have been what they had when the decided to press the discs.

 

[Mr. Earle]

You GL fans out there need to watch Emerald Knights. Its amazing, one of the best animated movies DC has ever made.

my copy of rise of the manhunters should be arriving any hour now.

I'm pretty excited! Gonna try and platinum it before the movie comes out. I wonder if there's online co-op?

Do we know of other movies that had 45%definite interest and what their opening weekends were?
It might be fun to compare .

All I know is that the tracking data is used to predict eventual grosses. The film "Knight and Day" for example had very low tracking numbers that translated into an estimated less than $20 million opening weekend just weeks before it's release. As it turned out (even with Fox showing sneek previews of the film weeks before to jump star a buzz) the film still had a $20 million opening weekend and ended up grossing around $259 million world wide. I want to think that the studios believe that there is a lot of interest in this film and are just trying to lock in an audience with the film clips and trailers. I have a strong feeling this film will make more than what I crudely calculated.
