Top 10 Movies at the Weekend Box Office, 19JUN2011: Green Lantern

This weekend, Green Lantern’s light was more red than green, but the comic book adaptation still drew an estimated $52.7 million on approximately 7,200 screens at 3,816 locations.

Green Lantern’s start landed behind X-Men: First Class’s $55.1 million and Thor’s $65.7 million. The gross was also less than The Incredible Hulk and the two Fantastic Four movies, and the attendance disparity was only greater. Green Lantern’s estimated attendance was even lower than Daredevil and Ghost Rider.
