As I wrote last week, Green Lantern’s greatest problem is that its foreign box office returns are weak, which is confirmed in a story at ComicBookmovie.com. The article, among other things, tells of a precipitous box office fall-off the film has recently experienced. According to Boxofficemojo, “Green Lantern” has currently earned $76 million dollars, domestically, […]
