The Hollywood Reporter has released an article in which they say a Green Lantern 2 is currently in the works after having spoken with Warner Bros. about the film:
“Sources say Warners still believes in the franchise, even if the studio is “somewhat disappointed” with Green Lantern’s result.
Over the weekend, Green Lantern fell a steep 66% at the domestic box office, grossing $18.4 million for a cume of $89.3 million. That’s a big decline.
Warner Bros. president of domestic distribution Dan Fellman said the movie is settling in, pointing out that fanboy pics often see a significant drop-off in their second weekends.”
There are a ton of people out there who were very disappointed in the first film which starred Ryan Reynolds. The box office definitely showed this and many were afraid, because of the poor performance, that the film probably wouldn’t see a sequel and a reboot would be done in a few years. I for one enjoyed the first film, it was a origin story and, most of the time, are not as action packed as people anticipate. I have a ton of confidence in this series and believe a sequel if done right would revive it.
The film hasn’t opened overseas yet so there is still a possibility the film could end up turning a profit in the long run.
