I'm still in disbelief that they're making a Green Lantern sequel. Not because I hated the film or anything - I thought it was perfectly average - but because it bombed really hard, and the sequel is almost guaranteed to do even worse. Most people HATED this movie - from a business standpoint, it would have been smarter to wait a while, and then just reboot it.
......A reboot would be far worse. I don't see why that'd be "smarter."
I'm pretty sure WB wasn't expecting to make a gain on the $300 MILLION they invested for some crazy reason. What they did do was get the character out there and into public knowledge. And now they can license toys, games, the animated series, and they already have the premise and characters set up from the first film so they can just take the loss and move on with a sequel. You can tell in the movie that they were writing for a sequel from the start, too.
Why would a sequel do worse? I've really only seen critics and analysts complain about the movie.
