MovieMan89 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 True but my theory is that initially GA gave GL movie a chance thinking it may pay off like similarly unknown commodities like IM and Thor before it. Hence the decent OW. But then ai-ai-ai!!! Maybe that's true too. But even a totally obscure and hard to market character like Hellboy managed a $25m OW. The point is comic book movies are almost always guaranteed 20m+ on OW because they have at least a small built in audience that will show up on OW. I think $40m is the lowest IM1 would have gone, regardless of marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Hahaha Second Marvel Studio movie in a row that got severely underestimated on Friday. Thor 2 will be the third cause "some motherfuckers gotta skate uphill". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawa Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Although, Mark Strong did look the part. Agreed. He was the only thing in the movie that was legitimately good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 The funniest thing to me about Green Lantern was seeing the level of denial on SHH. Seriously amazing level of denial from the fans on there. LOL if you go to the Justice League section on SHH there's a thread about whether or not Ryan Reynolds should be in that movie, and the vote is split 50/50 with people saying Flop Lantern "wasn't his fault" and that he "deserves a second chance" :rofl: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Freak Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I don't care about Wonder Woman, but I do want to see a Flash movie. An incredibly good and seriously handled Wonder Woman movie has the potential to make more than Thor. After all, she is DC's Thor and a popular feminist icon to boot.

Probably never going to go away, unless a JLA film actually does get made with another actor. Then the diehards will turn on Reynolds like the diehard Spidey fans turned on Maguire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumblebee Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 The irony is that it seems Joss Whedon is planning for Quicksilver to be in TA2, that is just sad for Flash Seriously. I can't believe the Marvel characters we'll see onscreen before Wonder Woman or Flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawa Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 They should go with John Stewart in the JL movie and/or reboot. I feel like he's the one more people know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I don't get why they made it to begin with.Why not. It's a reasonably budgeted Tom Cruise vehicle. It was nice to see a movie where all the money was clearly seen on screen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 And Keaton. I can't believe how much some people over there hate on Keaton It'll happen to Bale too for sure when the live action role gets recast. Conroy is the only one that seems to have universal approval regardless of who the "new" Batman is in various adaptations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orestes Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 And Keaton. I can't believe how much some people over there hate on Keaton Michael Keaton? Keaton was pretty good. Honestly, the only Batman that was a miscast was Clooney. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they gave Beast superspeed in First Class. Don't think QS in Avengers will affect Flash really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
