Well, this is definitely a big surprise. Even though Martin Campbell-directed comic book adaptation
Green Lantern starring Ryan Reynolds didn't get big numbers at the box office, Warner Bros. is still planning to move forward with the sequel. As
The Hollywood Reporter points out, studio is indeed disappointed with the results, but they don't want to walk away from the planned franchise.
Warner Bros. is already planning a sequel to Ryan Reynolds' superhero pic Green Lantern, despite the film’s soft performance at the box office. 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.
I think that sequel will happen eventually, but it won't be anytime soon. So, what do you think? If they make a sequel, what would you like to see? Share your thoughts below.
Directed by Martin Campbell,
Green Lantern is in theatres now.
