It's been a hard week for Martin Campbell's Green Lantern. The almost universal negative reaction to the comic book adaptation left fans wondering what went wrong. Film currently has only 21% on Rotten Tomatoes with 122 reviews. Now, the first box-office results have arrived, and Green Lantern (3D) made as much as X-Men: First Class (2D) and a little more than Thor (3D).
From Deadline:
"Warner Bros is very pleased with DC Entertainment's Green Lantern 3D opening of $3.35M midnight showings from 1,810 venues, which bettered Marvel/Paramount's Thor midnights ($3.2M from 1,800 locations) and were on a par with Marvel/Fox's X-Men: First Class prequel midnights ($3.3M from 1,783 theaters)."
Not really sure about the "very pleased" part. Film's production budget went from $160M to the huge $200M plus marketing. Site goes on to say that Hollywood is expecting around a mid-$50M opening weekend for Green Lantern, to the possibility of $65M-$70M.
