Weekend box office numbers=1. "Ghost Rider," $44.5 million.
Yes I know the movie isn't up to snuff. But regardless people keep going to see it. It can survive another week or two on bad mouthing alone. Still expect high dvd sales and a better version with a director's cut
Released in US February 16, 2007
Total US Gross $52,022,908
Production Budget $55,000,000
Worldwide Gross $67,522,908
MPAA Rating PG-13 for horror violence and disturbing images.
Not only did Ghost Rider set a record for biggest President's Day debut, it earned more in three days than the previous record holder did it four. It's $45.4 million from Friday to Sunday was just over the $45.1 million earned by 50 First Dates during its first four days and placed it third on the biggest February weekend chart. Add in Monday and the film made $52.0 million, which is already sixth place on the 2007 chart, third place if you don't count 2006 releases. As for the film's long-term chances, those are not so rosy. It's a super hero movie and those tend to suffer from the Fanboy Effect and the poor reviews won't help. A 60% drop-off could be inevitable next weekend while reach $100 million isn't guaranteed. But that said, its opening weekend is the shot in the arm the box office was looking for.
