Ghost Rider did an estimated $44.5 million. 😎

Only a few million shy of Batman Begins. Not bad considering it's not that well known a property by comparison.

Agreed 100%.

My sister, who has never picked up a comic book in her life, saw the trailer the other day and said, "Why the hell did they pick him?"

Nothing special.

Would have been tons better if they would have went rated R instead of making a kids movie out of it.

First 10 minutes were a lesson in bad writing. I understand they needed some exposition for the story but it came off as painfully contrived.
The rest of the story was good, but with 2 major failings:
They blew 2 opportunities to have a great fight scene (his battles against wind and water were weak)
and THE GHOSTRIDER DOESN'T MAKE STUPID JOKES!!!
His parting words to Mesistophiles were also corny. The idea is right, but there has to be a better way to say it.
P.S. I think Nick cage and Sam Elliot are fine actors who did a decent job with the weak dialogue they were given.

I agree that they could have done more wit the fight scenes. Everything else was fine for the type of movie it was. I would have preffered an R rating for this though.

The movie does not honor the comic book.

And um...the villains ware god awful.

Praise for a film that will make 400 million worldwide.

That's true. But alot of the Marvel movies seem to have grand openings but then fall flat on their face afterwords. Hulk and FF both beat Batman Begins on opening weekend but Batman Begins went on to gross more overall. Same with Superman Returns.

I see Ghost Rider making around 120 mill. domestic when it's all said and done.

Exactly, but I went in this afternoon expecting poor, so I thopught it was fairly well. Cage did well(although some dialogue was lame but pulled it off) and had

GR is doing very well. I expect 40 mil this week. Still think 400 mil worldwide.

Not a chance at 400 mill. worldwide.

120 million domestic.
