O Captain! My Captain!

Here's a quick look at the 4 comic book movies from this summer, as well as how they fared during their respective opening weekends...

#1. Captain America: The First Avenger... $65.8 million.
#2. Thor... $65.7 million.
#3. X-Men: First Class... $55.1 million.
#4. Green Lantern... $53.2 million.

Yep, I couldn't be happier about the way this year's summer movies turned out. 'Nuff said.Take THAT, DC!

Movie Goers to Geoff Johns: Drop Dead!

So the Green Lantern movie debuted at around $52.7 million which is about $13 million less than Thor. That was also a lower opening weekend than X-Men: First Class... With a budget of around $200-$300 million, that's not exactly the news DC was looking for I'm sure... To that news I simply say this... HA!!! Yep, it sure is a good thing DC is obsessed with pushing old Silver Age characters at the expense of their younger, newer Modern Age characters... Those old characters SURE are where the money is! I'd say maybe DC would learn from this, but let's face it, as long as Chairman Johns is DC's golden boy, they'll continue to be mired in the past... As well as trail behind Marvel in nearly every way...
