LATE SAT/EARLY SUN BOX-OFFICE UPDATE: LANTERN very low at $53mil!

"In brightest day.  In blackest night.  In emptier theatres."



GREEN LANTERN is a disappointment no matter which way the studio will spin the numbers Sunday morning.


"I'll give you this ring if you buy a ticket!"


It started with a less-than-stellar $21mil Friday, stumbled Saturday (down 21% from Friday with $17mil) and instead of numbers north of $60mil it looks to settle at about $53mil for the first three days.

High number?  Sure.  But as I wrote yesterday the movie final cost (production, prints, advertising) is about $400mil(!).  A $60mil start means its domestic run ends at about $200mil (at most!).  Hopefully it makes back more money internationally.
