Catching A Movie This Weekend?
January 18, 2011 Seth Rogen slimmed down to star in The Green Hornet. Box office-wise, was it worth it? Eh. The $120 million-ish superhero movie grossed an estimated $40 million over the four-day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend. Its worldwide total stands at about $56 million. "I really think they wanted a little bit more of out of it," Hollywood.com box-office analyst Paul Dergarabedian said Sunday. "… it's not a disappointment at all. I don't know if anyone in January expects to release a film wide and get a summer opening number." When stacked up against other comic-spawned superhero movies, The Green Hornet (which, yes, we know, got its start in radio) looks pretty mortal.
