Warner Bros. Moving Forward with Green Lantern Sequel

Looks like we can ignore the box office numbers on this one. According to a new report, Warner Bros. is indeed moving forward with a Green Lantern sequel.

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, especially with a very sharp decrease between weeks 1 and 2, 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.

A few sources are reporting that some of the less than expected box office can be attributed top lower than expected numbers from the 3D showings. Many people are forgoing the more expensive showings in this weak economy. I think the sequel will happen eventually, but it might not 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.
