Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs beat Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen at the box office this week! Next in line is Public Enemies with The Proposal still in the top four! With The Proposal holding strong at the box office may be the reason for Ryan Reynolds, who stars in the romantic comedy with Sandra Bullock, has been cast as the ‘Green Lantern.’
