Update, Monday: Box Office Mojo has updated their estimate to $53.2 million for the weekend.
Update, Sunday: Looks like the negative reviews (and/or possible poor word of mouth) might have ended up hurting Green Lantern after all, with estimates placing the film at $52.7 million for the weekend according to Box Office Mojo, behind this year’s openings of both X-Men: First Class ($55.1m) and Thor ($65.7m).
According to Deadline.com, that’s a 21 percent drop from Friday to Saturday. Deadline goes on to speculate the reasons behind Green Lantern‘s performance, even mentioning co-producer — and superstar comic book writer/DC chief creative officer — Geoff Johns, saying, “he’s respected but also controversial in some quarters.” The site surmises that “the problem sounds like it was filmmaking by committee,” and that director Martin Campbell is the likely studio scapegoat.
Green Lantern‘s get a tough rough ahead, with Cars 2 opening next weekend, and Transformers: Dark of the Moon a few days after that. A similar performance to Watchmen, also based on a DC Comic, could be seen as a potential worst case scenario — that movie opened with $55.m, making one-fifth of its ultimate gross on its opening day, and more than half of its cumulative total in its first weekend, for a sum of $107.5m domestic.
X-Men: First Class came in at No. 4 for the weekend, bringing in $11.5m for a $119.9m total. In its seventh week of release, Thor slipped out of the top 10, coming in at No. 11 with $1.1m added to a $176.1m total.
Original Story: Bad reviews — culminating in a dismal 24 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes — didn’t keep Green Lantern from achieving at the box office on its first day of release, ending up with a $21.6 million Friday according to Box Office Mojo.
That puts it on track for a $60m opening weekend, better than X-Men: First Class ($55.1m) but below Thor ($65.7m). Speaking of X-Men: First Class, it’s hanging tough at No. 4 after Friday, and Thor — on its way out of theaters at this point — has slipped to No. 12.
Given Green Lantern’s massive budget — rumored to be as high as $300 million including marketing — the true test for the film will be how it holds over into its second weekend, where it’ll be up against Pixar’s Cars 2.
We’ll update with weekend studio estimates on Sunday. Want plenty more Green Lantern coverage? Head over here.

I liked the movie. It could have been more vast and couldve had more scope with distant worlds and involved more characters. But the movie focus was on Hal Jordan. And it was as (someone put it in another post) felt like the first Superman movie. It wasnt as good as Thor and Xmen first Class but wasnt bad either. It was decent. Everyone should go watch it. Alot of good moral lessons and somewhat inspirational.
June 18th, 2011 at 12:20 pm
call it what you want but that is pretty dissapointing if the box office take is going to be 60 mill
June 18th, 2011 at 12:23 pm
lol as opposed to thor’s 65 mil which wasn’t disappointing? please. ITs competing with Xmen and super 8 (for father’s day)and in light of early bad buzz and negative reviews 60 million would be good
June 18th, 2011 at 12:50 pm
lol as opposed to thor’s 65 mil which wasn’t disappointing? please.
Thor’s budget was substantially less. It will take much more revenue for GL to break even. GL needs to outpace X-Men: FC and Thor to be a financial success.
June 18th, 2011 at 12:50 pm
I give it 7.5 out of 10. It could have been a lot worse. 1) Jack Black. 2) Justin Timberlake. 3) The clueless executive at WB who asked DC the following. “Sound good and all but can we do it without the ring?” It failed to live up to the hype. But it was NOT the worst comic to film of recent memory! Here is hoping WB will learn like Micheal Bay (Transformers 2) and make a better film next time. ALSO I would like to add that I believe the bad economy is also attributing to these films not making as much $ as previous years.
June 18th, 2011 at 1:07 pm
Yeah I give it a 6.5, imho it was better than Thor, though probably looked just as cheesy at times. Surely 300 mil could buy better CGI?
It wasn’t as good as First Class, but Hell, it could have been soooooo much worse. From all the negative reviews I was expecting something along the lines of Daredevil or Ghost Rider and it was definitely miles better than those films.
June 18th, 2011 at 1:31 pm
I am amazed at all the bad reviews it got. After seeing it I hope there is another one. It was good fun.
June 18th, 2011 at 1:38 pm

Really Kwasmand?
Considering that THOR “not only” had to compete with the 2nd week of franchise film: Furious 5, (a sequel which THOR defeated to claim 1st place and held onto for 2 weeks) that featured immensely popular and established actors (Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and The Rock), then to take on another franchise film: Pirates of the Caribbean (Featuring immensely popular Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz)…I think THOR has much to be proud of. Even though THOR had Academy Award winners; Anthony Hopkins and Natalie Portman in its cast, neither could claim the “starring” role moniker as the lead actors in the aforementioned films. With Green Lantern, featuring People magazines’ “2010 Sexiest Man Alive” Ryan Reynolds and a $300 million dollar budget…I seriously thought that the movie would EASILY break the $100 million mark by Monday’s final tabulations, which I suppose it still could. But, to project a meager $65 million (even $75 mil) 3-day total would be nothing to brag about…at all. It appears that Green Lantern will end up being about as costly and underwhelming as Superman Returns. Weak economy or not…the movie really should perform a LOT better.
I admit to favoring MARVEL comics and movies, but for the sake of the Comic Book Movie Adaptation [genre], I want Green Lantern and every other superhero (and comic book) movie (i.e., Cowboys and Aliens) to do well at the box office. But…I’m “fan-boy” happy that THOR has made the “better” impression in comparison to DC’s Green Lantern, despite its smaller budget, less recognizable hero and lack of a famous actor in the lead role.
Anyway…here’s to hoping (expecting) Captain America and the Avengers movies will continue MARVEL’s dominance in the movie theaters!
June 18th, 2011 at 2:18 pm
It would be a shame if Green Lantern didn’t make back its money. Its no where near as bad as some make it out to be, the main problem for me was how little outer space and the corps was actually seen and explored which makes me hungry for a sequal but a poor box office could mean that wouldn’t happen.
I do fear however that the amount superhero movies is taking its toll and studios might put them to rest for a while.
June 18th, 2011 at 2:25 pm
Erm… yeah
Thor is my favorite Marvel hero. Green Lantern is my favorite DC hero. Green Lantern was better. Course I’m getting pretty tired of another bad guy in another robotic suit at Marvel.
The economy is majorly impacting movie revenues this year. Several articles in Variety and THR speak very clearly about it. 14M Americans officially out of work, not counting the several million that are no longer able to claim jobless benefits.
Every big movie generally comes out at number 1 the weekend it’s released. GL will be number 1 this week. The week after Thor launched was lackluster. Americans are tired of Jack Sparrow. And who can blame them after that awful Pirates 3?
If you prefer Marvel that’s fine. But let’s not drag pointless Marvel vs DC crap into this. It’s done plenty already.
June 18th, 2011 at 2:41 pm
I agree with Rob Lee. I went in expecting to be let down, and ended up thinking it was awesome. I kept hearing about bad reviews but didn’t read any. What the hell was wrong with this movie now? I loved the way they did the uniforms out of energy. Loved the way they portrayed the Guardians. The constructs were cool. And seeing Parallax incinerate downtown Toronto wasn’t bad either. The CGI was bad? I didn’t think so in most cases, but the problem with hi-def and 3D is that nothing looks real. Even real stuff doesn’t look real. So what, neither do my comic books and that doesn’t stop me.
The story made sense, the acting was good, there’s was a lot of action, and it stayed pretty true to the comic.
I realize folk have different tastes – but if you went to see a Green Lantern movie, knowing what that was, then what more did you want exactly?
June 18th, 2011 at 2:56 pm
If DC spent $300 dollars on Green Lantern then they are the fools.
There is a total of 30 movies EVER that have made $300 million dollars and there is no way to justify spending that much on an unproven movie property…
regardless I really don’t care if DC/Warner spent a billion dollars on the movie… I’m more concerned with if it is any good and am really looking forward to seeing it.
My only concern box office wise is if it makes enough money to garner a Hal Jordan vs. Sinestro sequel…
June 18th, 2011 at 3:13 pm
Yes if DC spent 300 dollars on Green Lantern then they would have been fools.
June 18th, 2011 at 3:15 pm
I just saw Green Lantern yesterday and really liked it a lot. I didn’t see it in 3D like I did with Thor. I liked Thor but I didn’t like the 3D.Have to say that all the actors were really good, really enjoyed looking at Blake Lively, she is sexy.I hope that Green Lantern makes enough money to have a sequel. Now Hal Jordan vs Sinestro should be even better !!!
June 18th, 2011 at 3:19 pm
I liked it. It covered all the important stuff and was pretty cool visually. I would have liked it if it had spent another 20 minutes of film time on some important character developments but hey they got it done. I hope its successful because I’d love to see a sequel.
June 18th, 2011 at 3:25 pm
Forget Marvel vs DC. Thor was a fun movie, but all the great reviews for X-men: FC baffled me. It moved way too quickly and was too predictable. Pretty sad when your favorite part of the movie is a Wolverine cameo.
Green Lantern? Probably going to be a mild disappointment, not a flop, obviously. Probably not good enough for a sequel. Audiences probably won’t like it, because they’ll hopefully recognize that Ryan Reynolds is a pretty terrible actor.
The only good word about the movie is coming from fans, who don’t care about quality, they just need some level of faithfulness to the books, even when it doesn’t work in the context of film. Anything to give validation to their hobby.
June 18th, 2011 at 3:30 pm
I liked it and my wife liked it, who doesn’t read comic books or watch the cartoon shows. The way Hal saves the day is very comic book, but it was trying to drive the point of what made Hal unique amongst all the Green Lanterns on how whimpy the Guardians seem to be. I’m looking forward to GL 2, which has been revealed in the post-main credits teaser.
June 18th, 2011 at 3:50 pm
But turkish, this movie didn’t lack quality. I’ve seen plenty of bad movies just like everyone else, personal taste aside, this doesn’t quailfy as a bad movie. Also, everything in it did work within the context of the film, the background story was clearly and concisely explained, the few changes (like the Parallax origin) were also explained – in fact better so than in the comic.
“Anything to give validation to their hobby” – why do you think other people need to validate their (and I’m assuming YOUR)hobby. First, I’m sure we can all agree that the most vocal fanboys are wont to slam everything, so it doesn’t apply to them, and the rest probably don’t give a rat’s ass what other people think of what they do with their spare time.
And that after-credits scene…that was just plain cool.
June 18th, 2011 at 4:44 pm
Just to clarify a little on the budget, the movie did not cost 300 million dollars to make – though it was still very expensive and probably in the neighborhood of 200 million. The 300 million dollar tag gets thrown around when they include all the money that went into making and marketing the movie.
Generally a movie’s marketing budget ends up being about 1/3 of what it cost to make the movie. So a 150 million dollar movie like Thor probably had 50 million dollars in marketing and advertising behind it. GL on the other hand has had a much stronger than normal push behind it. Commercials were running for it months in advance. Would not surprise me if it had 100 million in marketing behind it.
June 18th, 2011 at 5:11 pm
Couldn’t care less about places like Rotten Tomatoes. too many people like to bad mouth something just to make themselves feel good. I liked it, and more importantly, my five year old son liked it. Lots of action, lots of fun, he really dug the hot wheels effect. Way too many people that just enjoy belittling other peoples work and yet never contribute anything of themselves for me to take them seriously or care about their opinions. I make my own mind up, thank you.
June 18th, 2011 at 5:16 pm
I don’t know what people have to say anything bad about this movie ? It was great ! I didn’t notice any cheesy special effects—I thought it looked stunning. It was completely entertaining and satisfying. There’s not a bad word I can say about it. It deserves to make good money and have a sequel.
June 18th, 2011 at 5:18 pm
Don’t know how reliable it is, but the IMDB has 241 (36 in the US, if that is what people go by) movies that have topped $300 at the box office. Not to mention the profits from DVD/Blu-ray sales, which are always strong for films like this. People seem intent on declaring any event movie a failure that doesn’t make it’s budget back in the first two weeks.
June 18th, 2011 at 5:43 pm
GREEN LANTERN’s production budget was $200 million. The rumor is that Warner Bros. spent an additional 100$ million on marketing. But keep in mind that word RUMOR…not exactly fact. It could be higher, it could be lower.
For that matter, Thor’s production budget was $150 million, and the rumor for its marketing cost was anywhere from $50 millino to $75 million in marketing.
I’m seeing GL tomorrow. I’m not a big fan of Ryan Reynolds, but I’m hoping that won’t lessen the film for me.
June 18th, 2011 at 6:03 pm
GL is going to more than make its money back.
Product placement: estimated 20-30M
US Gross: Easily 100M
Overseas: Easily 200M
Licensing fees: 30-50M
DVD Release: 200M
Total: 550M-580M
Now obviously I expect it to break 100 and come closer to the 150 mark domestically. Not as big as I would like to have seen as an investor, but well worth a second installment as the economy begins to recover.
June 18th, 2011 at 6:04 pm
Oh and I didn’t figure in the tax credits, write offs, etc that will obviously be a part of the bottom line
June 18th, 2011 at 6:07 pm
The bad reviews have been really unfair. It does not deserve the Rotten Tomatoes rating. I’m baffled why people seem to love X-Men: First Class, which I found mediocre at best, but think this is so god-awful.
Is it perfect? No, not at all. I gave it an 8.5/10, but thought Thor was a bit better, actually. There were a few things I did not like, but there was a lot more that I did. My fiance thought it better than the first Iron Man, & I’d say it was better than any of the Spider-Man films.
“Green Lantern” is a fun, solid, summer action film, & everyone should go see it, regardless of whatever the budget actually was*.
Thanks,
–J.
*I agree the world would be better off by giving $300 Million to Africa than to spend it on a movie budget, but I Love Green Lantern & that’s a story for another day.
June 18th, 2011 at 7:26 pm
Like most of you, I’m a huge comic fan and fan of comic movies. I was really impressed with GL and really enjoyed it. I can’t help but think that the reviewers must have seen different movie than I did. One more point, personally in love all comics, Marvel, DC, others, it’s great to see all these movies we all owe it to the industry we love to support these movies.
Cheers all.
June 18th, 2011 at 10:10 pm
As a comic fan like the rest of you guys out there, I find the movie alright not fantastic like Batman Begins and The Dark Knight but just alright, although I had hope to see more of Sinestro-Jordan mentor-student relationship develop into a close friendship bond than seeing a tentacled cloud of Parallax terrorising the city. I felt the CGI parts were wasted with all the shots placed on earth. Here was a movie that was able to stretch the limits of our imagination but it failed to live up to my expectations. Jordan’s courage was also not well represented in the movie and I didn’t like it that the flashback caused him to choke during his impeding crash..The Hal Jordan that I know would not have given up and would go down with his plane, just like why he wouldn’t wear his ring when he flies in comics. All in all the plots could have been better. I find the DC animated movie Green Lantern First Flight to be a better told origin story than this. More effort is needed if they expect sequel
June 18th, 2011 at 10:56 pm
Better than most comic book movies! Not the best though. Not better than the current Batman films or Spider-Man 1 & 2, but still delivered what was expected. I wanted the best… oh well. I did enjoy it! I hope to see more of the Corp in the next film!
I am sure they will make thier $300 million and then some, just not all at the box office in the states.
June 18th, 2011 at 11:01 pm
@Joe Kach
I agree that GL was a fun and entertaining film. The director, Martin Campbell, has a lot of experience with fast-paced action and he pulled that off no problem. If the movie was a bit longer, they could have given more depth to Hal & Carol’s romantic history. Otherwise, it was good fun. DC’s popcorn movie to Marvel’s Thor.
As for bad reviews, it definitely was no Green Hornet.
Thankfully.
June 18th, 2011 at 11:20 pm
I saw Green Lantern on Friday with 8 friends and thought it was very well done. Most of them gave it a B+ or an A. It was somewhat based on Secret Origins and it delivered. All my pre-movie concerns were eliminated by the end of the film. And for those who haven’t seen it yet, stay at least until mid-credits for a treat.
The best comparison I can give it that Green Lantern “nailed” the source material the way Thor did for its stuff and Iron Man did for its franchise. I think whether someone prefer GL or Thor or Iron Man or Batman Begins or Spider-Man 1, etc. comes down to personal preference for that franchise.
June 19th, 2011 at 12:30 am
So, I went and saw it in 2D (hate 3D) expecting to see this colossal disaster. I came out wondering what the hell the critics were going on about! It was no Iron Man, sure, but it was still a pretty fun movie. Far from the “worst comic book movie evaaahhhhh” noise the critics screaming from the rooftops.
If anyone thinks GL is worse than Catwoman, Elektra or Fantastic Four, there’s something wrong. I’d put this along the likes of Thor, Spider-Man 1, and the first X-Men.
June 19th, 2011 at 1:06 am
The Problem is Rotten Tomatoes. Look, that idiot site gave King Kong (2005) a rating of 85% fresh. That remake of a remake was way too cheesy, silly, and just not very appealing. If Green Lantern had been release BEFORE Thor and Xmen: First Class THEN it would have gotten a much more better reception by the critics. Most likely they were all “OMG Another Comic Book Superhero that Saves the Planet”.
I blame Marvel for flooding the market and whoring themselves. Looks like the Evil Eye of Disney is educating to destroy the competition rather than compete.
June 19th, 2011 at 2:20 am
Saw it with some friends. I would give it a mild thumbs up but they both loved it.
I’d guess it will make around 57 million this weekend and then drop hard next week.
June 19th, 2011 at 2:55 am
It doesn’t come to Australia until August the 4th. So please someone put up a pirate copy so I can download it. I promise I will also watch it when it comes out here, but c’mon!!! You expect me to wait for over a month!!!!
June 19th, 2011 at 6:08 am
I thought the movie was very good though it could have been amazing. the reviews have really been unfair. my brother, his wife [who isn't into comics at all] and his son all liked it very much. my officemates all went to see it early and couldn’t understand where all the hate was coming from. sure it could have been great but its hardly a disaster. the basic complaint was most felt it was short and could have gotten a better pay-off if some of the set-up was resolved [like hal and his nephew, the hal-carol backstory, more of the OA stuff]–maybe 20 more minutes. i am glad most movies now open day and date or even ahead in the philippines.
June 19th, 2011 at 8:21 am
Exhibitor Relations pegs GL at $52.6M for the weekend, about $3M behind X:FC’s opening weekend ($55M) and $13M behind Thor’s ($65M).
http://twitter.com/#!/ERCboxoffice/status/82449668566564864
Remember that GL’s production and marketing budgets (total) are estimated at about $100M greater than either of them.
We’ll see how foreign box office and home video sales are, but this could be ugly for DC’s movie initiative.
June 19th, 2011 at 9:04 am
Is DC paying you people? The movie is an utter train wreck. Blake Lively!?! The fact that half the film is exposition? The terrible CGI work? The total weirdness that is Parallax when they should have focused on Hector Hammond (who was actually good). Ryan Reynolds seems like a nice guy but he’s a total lightweight when it comes to gravitas. It never came together. I would give it a 2 out of 10. The two is only for Mark Strong and Peter Sarsgaard.
June 19th, 2011 at 10:54 am
Here’s my question…what hype was this movie supposed to live up to? All anyone did was trash it the minute the first trailer came out. So in that sense…it’s totally lived up to the hype.
June 19th, 2011 at 12:15 pm
It was a really good movie and most of the criticism I have seen so far is pedantic nonsense.
June 19th, 2011 at 12:21 pm
Green Lantern was ok, just ok. It wasn’t great and it wasn’t awful, I was hoping it would be better. So far this season for me, Thor was a great comic book movie, First Class was a GOOD MOVIE about comic characters, Super 8 was an ok movie, and Green Lantern was an ok comic book movie.
June 19th, 2011 at 12:28 pm
It was everything it should be. WE also know where the other three rings are going don’t we
June 19th, 2011 at 12:35 pm
Yep, Campbell failed big time here. Hollywood should have known better than to give this project to a senior citizen that has never done a high action sci fi film. Sure he directed a few good James Bond films and the Zorro flicks but Bond is a character that is perpetually stuck in the 60s so it works and Zorro takes place 100+ years ago. Campbell would be better off directing episodes of Mad Men than taking on a property that he clearly didn’t grasp.
June 19th, 2011 at 12:39 pm
How is it ending the weekend at $52.7 million when the weekend isn’t over yet? Locally its in at least 6 theaters running shows up to midnight tonight.
June 19th, 2011 at 12:43 pm
JTRobin: the 52.7 million dollar figure is an estimate based on the figures of the previous days. They figure they can guess (pretty accurately, most of the time) what these films will make.
They generally make the estimates on Sunday morning for the entire weekend, and then update the numbers, if they need to, on Monday morning.
June 19th, 2011 at 12:52 pm
I’m going to see it this week as I never feel that I have to see any film the weekend it opens. But I collect comic books and have done so since 1960, so I tend to walk a different path than the lemmings. If you are a comics hobbyist, you know what I’m saying. I don’t care what tomatoes are rotten or by what percentile. I hope to enjoy the films I go to see and if not, then it’s not the end of the world as I know it. I never wish for a film to fail and that makes me a glass half full optimist. Heck I even get a tear in the eye at times while watching my superheroes come to life on the big or small screen. It should all be fun and enjoyable. I’m looking forward to (in no particular order): Cowboys & Aliens; Captain America, Man of Steel, the next Batman film; Bond 23; The Avengers; the final Harry Potter; Torchwood; Miracle Day; Fringe Season 4; Dr Who; and the Smallville replacement, Metropolis: Flights, Tights & Fights. Well, I made up the last one but I’d watch if it were pursued.
June 19th, 2011 at 1:12 pm
It freaking Marvel who is ruining everything! They are the ones who have continued to overload the market! WB will never make a Flash or JL film now. Rotten Tomatoes is irreverent! I have NO idea why anyone takes there website seriously. IGN is owned by Newscorp the parent home of 20TH Century Fox who needed X-MEN First Class to preform well enough to keep the rights from going back to Marvel. WB does NOT care about DC fans & they never will! I have NO idea who is saying that stuff about Geoff Johns.
June 19th, 2011 at 1:14 pm
Hollywood SUCKS!
June 19th, 2011 at 1:30 pm
Bad word of mouth? The general consensus is that it’s a lot of fun, and has even sparked a big online debate about whether or not film critics are totally out of touch with the public.
As for Rotten Tomatoes, well it’s 62% favourable audience score, while not amazing, shows the disparity between what the critics thought and what the public thought.
Me? I thought it was great. Loads of fun, and certainly not deserving of the scathing reviews. It’ll be a great shame if the killjoy critics deprive us of a sequel.
June 19th, 2011 at 1:42 pm
Nikki over on deadline.com has said that alot of the bad ratings were pumped up by rival studios to mess up the buzz. I think that had ALOT to do with it. GL was decent, but not horrible like people are saying.
June 19th, 2011 at 1:43 pm
guess i was right,it’s a bigger bomb than anticipated
June 19th, 2011 at 3:02 pm
Unit99 says “It freaking Marvel who is ruining everything! They are the ones who have continued to overload the market!”
We have had 50 dramas released this year. And yet, no one is getting tired of ‘drama films’.
So, somehow I doubt that “Marvel is ruining everything” by overloading the market.
This will be proven, when Captain America makes more money this opening weekend than Green Lantern did.
If that happens, I think we can kill the ‘marvel makes too many movies, so no one is going to see DC’s movies’ argument.
I think the problem is that DC has made films like Jonah Hex, Watchmen, and now Green Lantern, which weren’t very well received.
Is Marvel to blame for that? nope.
June 19th, 2011 at 3:03 pm
Marvel fan here. My wife and I saw GL last night and we enjoyed it, despite the rude, chatty crowd we saw it with. Maybe the critics are cranky and burnt out on superheroes. I guess you can’t blame them if that’s not their thing. Sure, this film had a few editing issues, and the script could have been a little stronger, but it wasn’t bad (like Catwoman, Jonah Hex) and it didn’t have the quirks and cringe-inducing moments of many superhero films (Burton’s Bat-films, Raimi’s Spider-films, the FF movies). It didn’t purport to be anything more than a fun superhero film (unlike Nolan’s Bat-films). I would put it on a par with the first Iron Man and Thor as far as pacing and story and tone. It was just a good, fun summer action film. It doesn’t deserve the drubbing it’s getting. I hope it does well enough to spawn a sequel.
June 19th, 2011 at 3:56 pm
Bad word of mouth thanks to the Marvel Fanboys whom feel threaten everytime DC pulls a movie out. And YES! Marvel Overloads the market with reboots and remakes of their movies. Well, enjoy the fall of Green Lantern. Wait till Disney turns your favorite characters to Y ratings.
June 19th, 2011 at 4:18 pm
I just came from seeing Green Lantern and I have no idea what movie the critics went to see. My ONLY complaint was the “dad flashback” at the beginning could have been cut. The rest of the movie was damn good!
If I were to compare this movie to another superhero movie it would be the first Iron Man movie. Good pacing, cool special effects, a good story, and you get to see the character start off as a normal flawed human being and transition into something more … a hero.
I recommend this movie without reservation!
And to “Ron Thibodeau”, considering that I didn’t read, see, or hear a single favorable industry review for this movie, it’s easy to imagine something more coordinated going on.
As for previous poorly recieved movies, how about “Spiderman 3″, “X-Men 3″, both “Punisher” movies, “F.F. 2″, to name a few and I’ve gotten more positive feedback on the new “X-Men” movie than I did for the “Thor” movie. While we’re at it, do you know anyone looking forward to the new “Spiderman” movie? I don’t!

Saw GL yesterday. It was a disappointment – mainly because any character in the Corps is more interesting than Hal Jordan. But also the duel-villain storyline. Should’ve been streamlined to develop the relationship between Hal and Sinestro for the sequel, imho.
The acting was well done and the CGI was wonderful to look at – so good that I regretted the scenes that took place in the “real world.”
I think the reason GL is being criticised and X-Men: First Class received the praise it got has to do with the marketing. When I saw trailers for GL, I got the feeling I was going to see the next Star Wars or something and when I got an average movie I was really disappointed. Conversely, when I saw advertising for X-Men, I figured it’d be the biggest pile of crap and when I got an average movie I was delighted.
And if Fantastic Four, Daredevil and Wolverine can get sequels, GL probably will too (though with a smaller budget I presume). I’ve heard there’s a GL cartoon coming in November (not sure if this is still a go), so if that does well then you can guarantee the Corps isn’t done yet.

Oh please, Paramount distributed Thor and Fox did X-Men; why would Disney want their rival studios to be successful when a failure would eventually lead to Disney gaining complete control over the properties?
DC needs to focus on bringing more popular characters to the big screen, as opposed to little known cult characters such as Jonah Hex, Steel and the Watchmen. No one outside of nerd-dom really cares about Green Lantern as a character. He was just that “other lame Superfriend besides Aquaman.”
June 19th, 2011 at 4:29 pm
Catman–
So I guess the universally bad reviews for Catwoman were also the result of ‘something more coordinated’ going on, just because there was no positive reviews, right?
or how about Elektra? Gigli? (ha ha)
Sometimes a movie just misses the mark (as happened with the other films you mentioned…X-men 3, Spider-Man 3, etc.)
Just because something isn’t universally loved by the critics, doesn’t smack me of conspiracy any more than a film that is universally praised by them.
June 19th, 2011 at 5:20 pm
Saw it today and it was alright. Not horrible like some critics have said but not stellar either. I also don’t think the sub box office was superhero burnout like some have said. The mainstream audiences will go see superhero movies as long as they are of high quality and a lot of fun. While I enjoyed the CGI, I felt the plot was weak and the villains especially Parallax uninspired.

Bad word of mouth thanks to the Marvel Fanboys whom feel threaten everytime DC pulls a movie out. And YES! Marvel Overloads the market with reboots and remakes of their movies. Well, enjoy the fall of Green Lantern. Wait till Disney turns your favorite characters to Y ratings.
Yeah because all Marvel fanboys compelled the entire United States not to go and see Green Lantern film. typical DC loser. Maybe the blame should go to the wonderboy Geoff Johns and his hands on has to be made for fans only type of film instead of a good film.
June 19th, 2011 at 5:39 pm
Saw the film yesterday, I’m a lifelong GL fan who never thought there’d be a film on this guy at all.
I think the article above has it right – it smelled of filmmaking by committee. Although enjoyable at times and the actors did a great job with what they were given, the film had no pacing. Jumps from Earth to Oa especially removed any chance to gain a sense of wonder or excitement like we received in the early Star Wars or Lord of the Rings movies, to which Johns compared the GL pitch.
Like why did we see Sinestro talking to the Guardians early on for 2 minutes, without any lead-in? My friend who went with me said “oh, there’s some immortals. And there they go”. The cutting gave no chance for connecting with the beautifully-designed Oa, or gave us much of a chance to care who Tomar-Re or Kilowog were. Remember the simplicity of the Star Wars Cantina scene? Not only were we on that planet for awhile, but Luke and co. were outside the bar, went inside, and we got to be with various characters in a music montage for awhile. And for the FIRST TIME, like Luke was experiencing.
It’s hilarious that the film was so hodgepodge and noone said anything. How can you invest that much money in a film and have it shotgun style? And some of the dialogue and VO was cornball – I would have bought it if they really put us in the world of caring deeply about the characters, but we didn’t have a chance. And no sense of real danger when Hal was taking on Parallax at the end.
I really hope this gets a sequel so the actors can have a better machine to operate in. Reynolds was great, Strong was great, Starsgaard was fantastic, the guy who played Tom K. was fun. Lively was decent too, all things considered.
Campbell said he wasn’t going to be back for a sequel, and I can guess why. He’s a good director – directors don’t just suck overnight, nor do actors. Despite some good moments, the film smells like producers and the studio who were looking for the next franchise over-thought the process and interfered too much. Good directors can afford to walk away from that, and I hope the producers let the directors direct next time around.
June 19th, 2011 at 6:12 pm
Wait, does anyone honestly believe that Marvel has somehow spread around the shitty reviews and poor word of mouth?
As for the “Marvel is whoring themselves with reboots and remakes”, Marvel has made just two films this year. X-Men was Fox and didn’t really help Marvel or Disney at all. If anything, First Class bombing and getting shitty reviews would have HELPED Marvel because Fox would have let the rights revert back to them.
June 19th, 2011 at 6:27 pm
Also, not to be a jerk, but how did Marvel flooding the market hurt GL?
Do we forget that we had a summer where Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Hellboy 2 and Hancock all came out and the Dark Knight still managed to make a killing at the box office?
June 19th, 2011 at 7:16 pm
Being the first to post above, two days ago I thought we would have had great news from GL and people would flock to see a decent film. This isnt looking good. I’m kind of saddened by this news actually. GL is such an extraordinary tapestry of characters and worlds and it could’ve been something worthy of Lord of The Rings or Star Wars if done right. All the actors were good in their roles, I felt they just didnt elaborate on the vastness of the intergalactic police. I HOPE they do a second film. Its just too good a story to not do a second film. I wouldnt have ever imagined Hollywood could ever bring GL to life, and yet we have. I’m still gonna tell everyone to go see it, because its decent enough to watch in theatres.
June 19th, 2011 at 7:47 pm
I like how the final tally for the weekend is out before the weekend is out.
Hmmmmm.
June 19th, 2011 at 8:06 pm
It’s not the final tally jimflint67 it’s an ESTIMATE. (Says so right in the first sentence of the article!)
I like how some people here are accusing Rotten Tomatoes of bad mouthing the film. All that website does is collect critics reviews from other sources such as newspapers, film web sites etc. and then assigns a freshness rating based on percentages of positive and negative reviews. There’s no “secret agenda” against DC comics.
June 19th, 2011 at 9:54 pm
It’s amazing the vitriol directed at this movie. T’ve seen as many good reviews as bad ones. It’s only a movie! I hope DC/WB sells a lot of rings. I will definitely be seeing it. They whipped on this movie like Ryan Reynolds was Anthony Weiner.
June 19th, 2011 at 10:55 pm
Funny because out of the three comic/superhero movies this summer, you would think Thor would bring in the least. It had an unknown actor in the titular role while X-Men has 4 successful movies preceding it and Green Lantern had Ryan Reynolds.
June 19th, 2011 at 11:54 pm
I honestly don’t see how “GL” is any worse of a film than “Thor.” Not to bash on Thor, as I enjoyed that one too, but … both movies use solid second-tier comic book characters, both stories have a hero who has to undergo a learning curve, and both movies have to divide the action between the real world and Some Other Fantastic Realm. Also, both of them have some problems with pacing and editing, underdeveloped love interests, and some silly dialog. And both have situational humor that one can either laugh at or roll one’s eyes about. They’re practically the same movie, yet … one is embraced and the other castigated.
I think it may have to do with timing more than anything, or maybe expectations? … but it is still a bit puzzling to me why these two movies have been received so differently.
June 20th, 2011 at 12:15 am
Green Lantern should have been an epic movie and WB’s failure to realize that and make that into reality shows how full of fear they really are… Still the critics are harsh and I know some people that have expressed similar thoughts as the movie really had dragging moments that even a GL-fan like me fell asleep through them plus some plot-holes and inconsistencies that just gives me migraines!
That aside it was a decent film and hopefully it does make money enough for WB to correct their mistake and make a sequel to finally give us the Green Lantern movie we want!
June 20th, 2011 at 12:58 am
I thought Green Lantern was awesome, better than X-men: First Class which I thought despite following the original story was good and I thought was Thor was just as awesome as was GL.
I think Transformers and Cars 2 are going to tank well.
June 20th, 2011 at 1:19 am
I really enjoyed Green Lantern. Exactly what I want from a summer blockbuster, shiny, loud and fun. Thought Hector Hammond was really good and creepy. Stayed pretty loyal to the source material and was just great to watch in 3D. Also the post credit Sinestro sequence. Total eye erection.
June 20th, 2011 at 1:36 am
information on the fit is good enough to increase my knowledge further
June 20th, 2011 at 2:05 am
Transformers and Cars 2 tanking? Hehe we should all be so lucky…
June 20th, 2011 at 3:22 am
Why is no one blaming Geoff Johns here? Seriously, this guy was in charge of making sure this was a good movie and he has ZERO movie experience. The Marvel guys are LAUGHING at what a mess this was.
And I’m not sure what guy thought this was gonna make $200 million in DVD, but um, maybe in 1998…the market has completely collapsed. $50 million maybe…
This movie is a huge financial eyesore for Warner Bros. It’s going to be very hard for them to make another DC movie until Superman opens and it WON’T be Green Lantern…
June 20th, 2011 at 3:23 am
While I would agree that Rotten Tomatoes doesn’t have a bias against DC. I wouldn’t agree that it wasn’t part of the problem. I suspect that there is a “social” aspect to every review after the first one. I think that many of the really bad reviews were influenced by the ~25% review that was already received.
Some of the reviews felt to me like they were reaching for things to dislike (for example saying that green should be for greed instead of will or a reviewer that was questioning how Hal Jordan could be a test pilot and non committal at the same time). To me most of the reviewers came across as cynical and completely devoid of two of the key things needed to enjoy comics : a sense of wonder and the ability to suspend disbelief.
June 20th, 2011 at 5:34 am
wow this much money…
June 20th, 2011 at 5:49 am
I would’ve seen it if it was released in Australia last week.
It was pushed at the last minute though and will be released in August.
So I’ll be seeing it then.
The reason for the date change? The stars of the movie are coming to Australia to promote it (NEVER a good sign when that happens).
June 20th, 2011 at 6:05 am
52 m is so much for this movie, but I love it
June 20th, 2011 at 7:04 am
Negative reviews and poor word of mouth didn’t hurt green lantern. Green lantern sucking hurt green lantern. You guys need to slam this movie because it was effing terrible.
June 20th, 2011 at 7:14 am
For what it’s worth: ROTTEN TOMATOES IS OWNED BY WARNER BROTHERS.
Enough with the conspiracy garbage, okay?
June 20th, 2011 at 7:32 am
One word: Editors.
This could have been a good movie if the four-writer screenplay would have had more of its bad dialogue, extraneous exposition, and pointless romance edited out. Failing that, a film editor could have saved the film by leaving a lot of that junk on the cutting room floor.
And I thought Johns knew that a hero story is only as good as its villain. Parallax was all but forgotten about everywhere but the beginning and end, and Hammond wasn’t really that threatening.
Last thing I’ll say is “why do we have to start with the origin in all these?” What about “in media res” storytelling?
June 20th, 2011 at 8:01 am
@Richard
While I don’t believe in a RT/critics conspiracy, WB has a large history of screwing with its comic properties outside of television (An Evening With Kevin Smith 1, Jack Black Green Lantern, Batman and Robin, etc.). For the most part, there is some major producer ego at WB that have never understood “comics” or their popularity and they still have tremendous pull. I’m willing to bet there’s still some resentment over the DC Entertainment restructuring that occurred last year as well.
June 20th, 2011 at 10:12 am
So…how does this film compare to “The Last Starfighter”?
June 20th, 2011 at 10:19 am
I find this Marvel conspiracy nonsense hilarious… don’t blame Marvel for a bland, poorly executed movie. The GL movie was hacked together instead of edited. It was a mess. I say this with lament. I am sad that this movie turned out the way it did.
June 20th, 2011 at 10:23 am
Green Lantern did the same mistake from Fantastic Four 2: To have as main villain some sort of Fog/Cloud crap …. In the comics books neither Galactus or Parallax are portrayed like that ..
June 20th, 2011 at 10:30 am
@ jgroove: While I’m not absolving Geoff Johns of any blame for the movie coming up short (in money or quality), to say that he has “zero movie experience” is laughably inaccurate: Johns got his start in Hollywood, not the comic book industry.
June 20th, 2011 at 11:12 am
El Maligno SENSEI:” Green Lantern did the same mistake from Fantastic Four 2: To have as main villain some sort of Fog/Cloud crap …. In the comics books neither Galactus or Parallax are portrayed like that…”
So, having a big Aztec-looking blue/purple would make sense in FF2?
I liked GL a lot, and the criticism against it is totally unfounded.
June 20th, 2011 at 1:04 pm
Another factor that seems to be hurting a lot of these movies is the 3D. It’s driving up the budgets with little benefit.
While I thought the 3D for GL was good and helped the theaters are chargin a 50% premium for the privledge and clearly people don’t want to pay $15 for a movie. Additonally since it is offered in 3D I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re just waiting cause why see it in 2D in the theater for $10-$12 when it will be the same on the DVD/Blu-Ray.
They need to either NOT charge a premium for the 3D or do away with it all together.
June 20th, 2011 at 2:16 pm
After watching the film and reading the reviews, I think critics were ready to jump on a superhero film and give it a good kicking. I do think there is some fatigue among critics with the super hero genre, and admittedly, Warners/DC didn’t deliver a good enough film to deflect the tide that was building against this type of film.
But, the movie wasn’t as bad as critics made it out to be. In fact, it not a bad film; it’s just not a great film. There are editing and story issues but there are also some really good scenes. I’ve not spoken to anyone that has seen the film that thought it was terrible as some critics suggested. The movie worked, but just not as well as Thor or X-Men First Class.
I think this film — like Batman Begins — will gain legs on DVD and Blu Ray. People will try it out and find that it was more congenial than critics gave it credit for. And it will set up a success for a better-made sequel. I’m certainly not predicting Dark Knight numbers, but I think interest will grow once a wider audience is exposed to it on DVD.
What I find funny is that reporters are reporting the cost of the film at $300 million, when that is the cost of production and advertising and promotion, not the actual cost of production.
It seems the two are only lumped together in reports where “The Story” is a perceived underperformance at the box office.
I doubt Thor and X-Men First Class has topped the films production and advertising costs at the domestic box office yet either. In fact many films, whether deemed a financial success or not, fail to recoup their total cost, particularly on the company’s books.
Studios don’t like to show much actual profit to reduce their tax burden.
But, the film was not as successful as it could have been. Hopefully DC Cheif Creative Office Geoff Johns won’t fall on the sword if this gets ugly and hopefully this doesn’t mean DC will tuck their tails and only produce Superman and Batman movies.
While this film certainly did not equal Nolan’s Batman flicks, it was infinitely better than Catwoman, Batman and Robin, Batman Forever, Steel and Jonah Hex.
June 20th, 2011 at 2:18 pm
Deadline goes on to speculate the reasons behind Green Lantern‘s performance, even mentioning co-producer — and superstar comic book writer/DC chief creative officer — Geoff Johns, saying, “he’s respected but also controversial in some quarters.”
====================================================================
Co-producer? That title sounds largely worthless. The script and director were both finalized before Geoff got his promotion. He went down to the seat, but I’m not sure what that was worth.
And while a lot of people would tell you Geoff is controversial, only a handful of people would say that’s because of his work on Green effing Lantern. No…no, I’m gonna blame this on the guy who thought the CGI suit was a good idea, and the people at WB who tapped someone not Geoff Johns to do the script…that would utilize a *lot* of Geoff’s ideas.
June 20th, 2011 at 2:56 pm
A lot of the comments remind me of the fan reaction when Phantom Menace came out. “It’s really not THAT bad…no, seriously it’s kind of OK. It has its moments. Critics are being too harde on it.” I think I’ll skip this masterpiece, thanks.
June 20th, 2011 at 3:46 pm
Finally saw it. I will say this, my nine-year-old and my six-year-old liked it well enough. That’s all I can say.
June 20th, 2011 at 5:06 pm
It’s a shame that it didn’t do too well at the box office; if you compare it to other superhero films, yeah, there’s nothing new there, and the story’s quite basic (not like the 3rd Spiderman or X-men films, which were all over the place) – but on its own merits, I thought it was actually quite good…sure, it’s not a masterpiece, but it’s solid.
June 20th, 2011 at 8:44 pm
I thought the movie was decent- not horrible. JONAH HEX was unbelievably horrible. I wanted to gouge my eyes out. What I think killed it was the over-marketing. I kind of felt that all the clips and previews had already showed the whole film, albeit out-of-sequence. There was nothing in it for me to look at and go, “WOW! THAT was cool!”
June 20th, 2011 at 11:26 pm
I will say this and keep saying this: This movie was sabotaged by the media. There is no other excuse for such one sided reviews, all which say almost the same thing: the movie jumped around too much, and the story wasn’t there.
Ok, first of all, ALL superhero movies Jump around, I know because I’ve watched about 10-15 this last couple months (Spider man, X men, Fantastic Four etc) anticipating this summer. Secondly, I’m not positive, but I’m pretty sure Thor didn’t get as bad of reviews and there was about 1/8th the story in Thor as was in Green Lantern.
While entertaining, Thor was somewhat confusing to me, even the second time. Hal Jordan’s character development far surpassed Thor’s, and the acting all around was pretty close for both films. Actually, X-men had more actual story content than both Thor and Green Lantern, mainly because of the lack of otherworldly scenes.
I just wish half of the critics that ripped Green Lantern would try to go in and view it again with an objective opinion. I honestly feel that 99% of critics and even most regular viewers went into this movie with their minds already made up. Whether it was politics, financial, trailer related, or otherwise, This movie really doesn’t deserve the beating it’s gotten from the media.
I’ve seen it three times, and I have to say it increases in quality greatly each time I view it. I hope others will take a second opportunity to enjoy this movie for the fun, visually stunning, action filled, heroic movie that it is.
June 21st, 2011 at 6:05 am
“There is no other excuse for such one sided reviews, all which say almost the same thing: the movie jumped around too much, and the story wasn’t there.”
Perhaps so many reviews said this because the movie jumped around too much, and the story wasn’t there?

But it still must be the critics and general audiences who are showing their bias. Not the superfans who watch the movie three times in the opening weekend.

How does this rate as disappointing?
June 21st, 2011 at 5:35 pm
Honestly I think the downfall of the movie industry will be the explosion of high end TVs and Blueray in homes. I don’t have a lot of time to go out to movies so I end up buying them and watching them at home. I used to see multiple movies per month in my younger days but now I see maybe 3 a year in the theater and the rest at home on my very nice plasma. More comfortable and just as good as the theater experience since I have a more comfortable chair, can pause to go to the can, don’t have some big-haired basket-baller sitting in front of me, and don’t have to pay through the nose for the snacks. Why pay $20 a head to see the movie in the theater when I can pay $20 and own it and watch it as often as I want in hi-def! I can wait 4-6 months for blue-ray.
June 21st, 2011 at 8:07 pm
I thought the GL movie was not good, but great. I don’t know what the hate on this movie is about. I went to be entertained, not be a critic, and I enjoyed it. I liked the characters, the acting, and the story, and was satisfied with the action also. There were many families at the showing I attended, those kids were enthralled, and the parents seemed to enjoy themselves also. I heard no dislikes or complaints after the showing. This movie will blow up on DVD, if not the theatre, there will be another one. WB/DC will sell a lot of rings. Probably Halloween costumes also, the costume design was eye-catching. Ryan Reynolds is a dead ringer for Hal Jordan and enjoyed playing him. Mark Strong as Sinestro is awesome. Good job, people!
June 22nd, 2011 at 5:55 am
“How does this rate as disappointing?”
Because, including marketing, the movie cost over $300 million.
June 22nd, 2011 at 3:26 pm
I really don’t get it why the movie will be distributed in Europe late July or even August.
We saw Marvel movies even before their american release.
A really bad move
June 22nd, 2011 at 5:11 pm
I don’t understand why fanboys are claiming that the critics were unnecessarily harsh on the movie and were out to get the Green Lantern. No one has any beef against DC. Green Lantern in the comic book world is an A list character but in the real world is a C list character. No one really knows much about the character. DC should have found a way to streamline to the mythos and put out a better product. Since the superhero craze begin we’ve see so many origin stories that if you’re going ot tell one, it has to set itself apart from the other ones that we have allready seen. Green Lantern did not do that. In addition, Parallax should have been a man, not a pile of yellow and black goo. Just Parallax possessed Hal Jordan in the comic, he could have possessed Peter Sarsgaard, making for a more tragic and evil character and it could have given us a rousing fight scene. They failed to realize that because Batman is a universal character with universal themes and has been on TV for as a cartoon for eons now, you can stick to the mythos and still produce a great product. Green Lantern is not one of those characters. The mythos should have been streamlined for the movie and expanded upon in later films, Hal Jordan’s crisis of faith should not have existed, and if it did, seeing people dying should have sparked him to life not his girlfriend. In addition, they should have gone with another villain or at least with a strong and more compelling Parallax. They should have learned from Fantastic Four when they showed Galactus as a cloud. You gotta go hard or go home and DC went soft so they will not make their money back on Green Lantern. It will barely make 200 mil. I feel so sorry for them because Time Warner is not going to continue to give DC money to squander on badly adapted movies.
June 24th, 2011 at 8:23 am
the movie was a mistep from the start, think about it, they spent 300 million on a underwelming movie, in order to make a sequel with more of the corp they would have to have a larger budget. and now that a lot of the general public have seen and not liked the first movie, there will be even less of an audience that are willing to give a sequel a try.
the suit was a needles adition that did nothing but inflate the budget, and annoy fans, seriously the mask was retarded.
the movie was mis cast, ryan renolds was horrible as green lantern, he should have been the flash. with the comedic acting coices there was no sense of awe or amazement.
June 25th, 2011 at 7:18 pm
I saw it with my son yesterday and I thought that it was alright (in a Thomas Jane Punisher movie sort of way), although I understand what most fans are saying about it not being all that it should have been. First of all the story wasn’t that enthralling and it was too short of a film. (Sorry Mr. Guggin, Guggen, er Marc) Maybe that’s a blessing I don’t know really?! I wanted to like it more than I actually did because this is Green Lantern man! As far as the bad guys; to be honest, I never ‘got’ Hector Hammond in the comics and the film character was nothing more than a whiny wuss. Angela Bassett was wasted but I’m glad she got a payday, People need to work and all. Same feeling for Tim Robbins. Both need to have words with their managers about who talked them into it. I’m not really hating on the film, because I felt a lump in my throat when he recited the oath while he fought brown-cloud. And speaking of Parallax, why was he talking in space and who was he talking to when he announced he was changing his mind?
Okay, I can not have a cow about the Oans making the yellow ring in the movie because only true followers of the comics would know it was made in another dimension/universe, but did the still at this time great GL hero Sinestro, need so little motivation to fall into the ‘arms’ of the yellow ring in this film? I thought the actor was well chosen though, even if he really was given nothing to do. And why was the film so short? I believe the DVD and especially the Blu-ray will have many minutes added that were cut from the theatrical edit. I can only hope they reinsert the cut images in the proper order that Martin Campbell intended. I also still hope there will be a second GL movie that has a more and coherent story and that it will be much better than being ‘just alright’. I will tell folks to go see the film in spite of what I said here because I want the film to be a success or at least break even and perhaps the DVD sales will push it to sequel status.
