the green lantern

As expected, ‘Green Lantern’ was the number one movie at the box office this weekend, taking in a slightly underwhelming $52.7 million, according to weekend estimates. That number marks the lowest opening for a superhero movie this summer, behind ‘Thor’ ($66 million) ‘X-Men: First Class’ ($56 million).

Moviegoers will have much to choose from this weekend – the first being the much-anticipated blockbuster ‘The Green Lantern,’ starring Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. Though the movie wasn’t exactly praised by critics, the hype surrounding the comic-book adaptation should translate into a lot of, well, green at the box office.
