There’s no Stopping “Ghost Rider”

Man, color me “Shocked and awed and stupified” at the tremendous success of Nicolas Cage’s “Ghost Rider”. How exactly did this movie, that wasn’t even screened for critics, and that didn’t even look that good from the previews, end up #1 everywhere, domestic and foreign? In the movie, Cage’s character makes a deal with the devil. Did the producers of “Ghost Rider” did likewise? “Okay, you bums, you get 1 week of massive box office receipts, but then your soul belongs to me! Muwahahahahaha.” But wait, we’re talking about Hollywood producers here. You’d need to have a soul to sell it to the Devil, so…

Anyways, via The Hollywood Reporter, here’s news that “Ghost Rdier” cleared $16.4 million in 25 overseas markets after cleaning up with $44 mil over the weekend in the U.S. You can’t stop an undead biker!

Can you say, “So, um, how fast can we get the sequel out?”
