'Lantern' opens at No. 1; 'Super 8' has super staying power

Less-than-stellar reviews didn't keep "Green Lantern" from a $52.7 million debut this weekend. And Judy Moody seems to be having quite a bummer summer: After opening at No. 7, she's already down to No. 10. After "Cars" opens next weekend, she is sure to lose her spot in the top 10 after two weeks.

From The Associated Press:
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
