Theatrical and Extended Cut lengths
Seems to be some inconsistent numbers for the lengths of the 2 cuts. The theatrical cut is 105m in the info box; 114m in the Home Media section (123m Ext. Cut minus the 9 minutes extra footage); while the extended cut is 123m (which happens to be 9 minutes, again, longer than the 114 implied for the theatrical, and 114m happens to be 9m longer than the 105m in the info box). It seems like the two cuts are either 105/114m or 114/123m. One of the cited sources seems to be confused somewhere. — al-Shimoni  (talk) 23:01, 8 September 2018 (UTC)


 * This is an old question but it is still valid. To answer it I will look at the various sources. Multiple conflicting sources makes this more complicated than it might seem.
 * I don't put much trust Box Office Mojo, (they round figures off, they estimate, they make mistakes) and that is on their claimed area of expertise, namely box office information. To use them as a source of runtimes is unwise. Box Office Mojo puts the at "Runtime: 1 hrs. 45 min." or 105 minutes. While it is possible there is a some version of the film with this runtime, I would definitely prefer other sources.
 * Template:Infobox film recommends using the BBFC. The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) lists multiple different runtimes which some people may find confusing, but the first runtime they list for Green Lantern is 114m 1s. (More runtimes are listed further down the page under the "Feature" section, and they round to either 114 or 119 minutes). Further runtimes are listed on other pages such as for the the home video release.
 * The Home Media section of this article includes a reference to superherohype.com which includes the text "Running Time: 114 Minutes (Theatrical), 123 Minutes (Extended)", and further down it also says "only 9 minutes longer".
 * If I was going to change it I would put 114 minutes in the Infobox as the runtime and use BBFC as the reference. I'd probably rephrase the Home media section to say the Theatrical cut was 114 and the Extended cut was 123, since that's what the source says. -- 109.79.92.109 (talk) 23:16, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I think you should just change it. Pinkbeast (talk) 05:33, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Infobox changed to 114 with proper BBFC reference. Hopefully it will stay that way. -- 109.78.244.26 (talk) 17:54, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Green Lantern (film)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Green Lantern (film)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "DCUSlateVariety": From DC Universe (franchise):  From Development of the DC Extended Universe:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 10:59, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
