I still expect a sequel to Green Lantern. It's on track to make 300 million worldwide and more than that in DVD sales.


Really? Here are the current tallies from boxofficemojo...

Domestic: $89,311,000 75.2%
+ Foreign: $29,400,000 24.8%
= Worldwide: $118,711,000

I think that it will be lucky if it even hits $200 million worldwide at this point. That foreign number is a particularly bad sign for the film. Both Thor ($436 million worldwide, 59.4% foreign) and X-Men First Class ($317 million worldwide, 58.1% foreign) are doing better overseas than at home, and that that trend was establishing pretty early on their releases.

So, unless there are some vast foreign markets that Green Lantern hasn't opened in yet, I think that the movie is pretty much toast as far as sequel justifying profitability goes.
