The Green Lantern has a listed production budget of $200 Million dollars. Currently the film has made $114 Million domestic, with that total edging toward maybe crossing over $120 Million. Currently the international numbers list the all-in total at $40 Million, which means even if a studio got every dollar of every ticket (they don’t, the rule of thumb is usually a 2-1 ratio), they haven’t made a profit, and may never. And yet Jeff Robinov has told the LA Times that the sequel – which they are supposedly working on – needs to be “edgier.”

Also new to screens this week are the Tom Hanks-directed Larry Crowne, and the tween flick Monte Carlo. That covers all four quadrants in this packed 4th of July weekend. Check our predictions…

After two weekends, Green Lantern has made a little less than $90 Million at the box office – which is low for a film that supposedly cost $200 Million (with a supposed additional $100 for advertising). And yet Warner Brothers suggested this weekend that they’re going forward with a sequel. At least that’s what The Hollywood Reporter is suggesting.

Out of all of the superhero/comic-book movies that have come out this summer, Green Lantern‘s debut has been the weakest. All three films Thor (opened to $66 million), X-Men: First Class (opened to $56 million) and now, Green Lantern placed at No. 1 during their opening weekend, but not each one seems to be making less than the last. Even with the extra boost in 3D ticket sales, Green Lantern wasn’t able to top its predecessors. Last weekend’s big attraction Super 8 slipped to second place, grossing $21.2 million. And Mr. Popper’s Penguins, the new Jim Carrey family comedy, came in at No. 3 with $18.2 million. Find out more below…

When The Green Lantern was announced, it was also made public that star Ryan Reynolds would not be wearing a suit on set, but that the costume would be added later in CGI. So for every trailer and footage so far we’ve gotten a rough idea of how it’s supposed to look, but it’s hard to know if the trailers presented finished effects shots. Well, the film is due out June 17, so now we’re going to get the full body shots. Breaking News USA got the first images, and we present them here. Take a look…

One movie that fans may or may not be looking forward to next year is The Green Lantern. The Warner Bros comic book adaptation will be hitting theaters in June and stars Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, the title character, and the first human to join the Lantern Corps. It’s tough being the only human surrounded by alien creatures, aliens like Tomar-Re who actually makes a brief appearance in the trailer. Today we’ve got our hands on a photo that gives us an up close and personal look at the CGI character. Check him out…
