Random Super Heroes

Comingsoon.net had this to say about Ghost Rider's opening weekend:

"Despite less than stellar reviews, Sony's Ghost Rider, with Nicolas Cage playing the Marvel Comics character, found a huge audience of fans this weekend, as it grossed an estimated $51.5 million over the four-day weekend in 3,619 theaters. With an astounding average of over $14 thousand per theater, Ghost Rider easily beat previous holiday weekend records set by Adam Sandler's 50 First Dates and Ghost Rider director Mark Steven Johnson's Daredevil. Having made $44.5 million over the three-day weekend, the action-thriller also set a new opening record for its star Nicolas Cage, whose previous high was $35 million with 2004's National Treasure."

I have to admit that I was a little worried about how well this movie would do. Ghost Rider is not as well known as some of the other characters in Super Hero movies. I am really glad that it did well, it probably helped to have some well known actors playing the title characters.
