LOS ANGELES – Another superhero is about to enter the summer sweepstakes as Warner Bros.' "The Green Lantern" in 3-D, starring Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, smashes its way into more than 3,600 domestic theaters with an expected winning gross of near $60 million.
Paramount's "Super 8" enters its second weekend with solid midweek numbers and strong momentum from a better-than-expected debut and should experience no more than a 45-55 percent drop for a likely second-place take of about $20 million.
Fox's PG-rated "Mr. Popper's Penguins," starring Jim Carrey, should enter the box office race in third place at around $15 million. The film about a businessman whose life is turned upside down after inheriting six penguins offers a lighthearted alternative for families and younger kids in this testosterone-driven season.
Fox's "X-Men: First Class" in its third weekend and Paramount-Dreamworks' "Kung Fu Panda 2" in its fourth weekend will duke it out for fourth and fifth place in the $12 million range.
