North America opening at 42.75 million US dollars, at first glance it doesn't seem bad, but compared to a 200 million US dollar production budget and over 100 million in marketing expenses, it's far from ideal.
What's more terrifying is that "Green Lantern" directly collapsed in terms of public reputation.
The audience reputation most represented by cinemascore's live audience ratings is only a B-, Rotten Tomatoes freshness is 22%, and the IMDB score is 5.4.
With such audience reputation, the film's second weekend box office plummeted by 70%, accumulating only 61.78 million US dollars in ten days in North America.
Even the most optimistic statistical agencies believe that it's very difficult for "Green Lantern" to break one hundred million in North American box office in the end.
The huge investment made by the production company on the film would need at least a decade or two, or even longer, to recoup the costs.
