The Mouse Gets His Hands On “The Avengers” & “Iron Man 3” Paramount sources say the studio stands to profit handsomely from its deal to shift marketing and distribution of Marvel’s 2012 tentpole “ The Avengers ” and still-unslotted “ Iron Man 3 ” to Disney , which acquired the comic-book company last year. Paramount will receive distribution fees for both films with a guaranteed minimum of $115 million regardless of how the films perform. Paramount insiders say the studio will receive its usual 8 percent distribution fee for “ The Avengers ” and an increase to 9 percent for the third “Iron Man.” Disney quickly announced a release date of May 3, 2013 for “ Iron Man 3 .” The deal gives Disney -- which has faltered at the box office recently -- a chance to benefit from its acquisition of Marvel. Paramount views the deal as an opportunity “to do no work on ‘Iron Man 3’ and ‘Avengers’ ” and still make more money on the films, according to a source. That source said Paramount

Let's Hope He Has A Charger This ain't your everyday Coleman campsite lantern. It's the space battery that will power Ryan Reynold's in the upcoming Green Lantern film, and it has been unleashed to the world. Here's Alittle History on the Oan power lantern . Oan Energy Conduit: The rings use Oan energy (supplied by a Green Lantern Power Battery .) Power Batteries are constantly charged by the Central Power Battery to manually fuel about 7200 individual Green Lantern Rings. With few exceptions, the Power Ring was limited to a 24-hour charge and needed to be recharged at the Power Battery on a daily basis. However, that limit has been removed, meaning a Lantern is only obligated to recharge their ring when the power levels are depleted or gone. The amount of energy in a ring is measured by the ring, and relayed to the Lantern via a percentage scale of 0% - 100%. When Abin Sur died, his Power Battery and Power Ring were passed onto the Human known as Hal Jor
