‘Green Lantern’ Lights the B.O. Lamp with $52M Opening
The superhero visual-effects 3D extravaganza Green Lantern won the top spot at the box office this weekend even as the big-screen debut of the DC Comics hero fell slightly short of expectations for a potential major new tentpole franchise. The superhero movie took in an estimated $53 million in ticket [...]
WB Seeks Bright Debut for ‘Green Lantern’

‘Super 8′ Develops Box Office Lead; ‘Panda 2′ Holds Up Well

Abrams’ ‘Super 8′ Enters Crowded Box Office Race
The box office is looking to continue its summer rebound with the unknown quantity of Super 8 going up against kid flick Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer — and both looking to topple mutants, bachelors and animated pandas. Super 8 is the third film directed by J.J. Abrams, [...]

‘Pirates’ 4 Finds Huge Treasure in Foreign Ports

Most of the attention this weekend was on the blazing fast start for Universal’s Fast Five, which had the best opening of the year to date and Universal’s best-ever opening ever with an estimated $80 million in ticket sales. Fox’s animated feature Rio, however, held on pretty well, taking a [...]
