For a list of what's released 2 months before and 2 months after Ghost Rider, check out this thread; http://www.superherohype.com/forums/showthread.php?t=172211. I update every once and a while as new changes happen.

Still super pumped about the date change though...

Eck , Ghost Rider taking on Pirates in only their second week.

IMO that is a bad move financially cause no matter how you deny it , Pirates will have legs.

Or it should receive extremly bad reviews and Johnny Depp should leave the project (which as we all know is impossible).

This movie will be PG , so it might help a little at the BO ,but if Ghost Rider hits 100 million domestic it'll definatly be some feat.

friends and i were discussing this last week, that unless a movie has no competition in it's second week, the audience will come back.
primarily a movie (such as POTC2) makes it's biggest impression in it's opening week. that being written, i think GR is going to give POTC2 a run for it's money.
look at how much National Treasure made in it's opening week. Nic Cage can really bring in the numbers.
So, it's all good.

It's gonna be all in the marketing, when people see that bike and flaming skull they are going to be intrigued.

 

[FlameHead]

I truly belive that Ghost Rider is going to give a lot of movies a run for their money. Sleeper Hit. No doubt in my mind.

I would LOVE to see this make more on their opening weekend than Superman Returns. Nothin' again Supes but there is that friendly rivalry in the air.

 

[FlameHead]

And to ad to that, I personally think that we GR fans should boycot seeing Supes opening weekend. Who's with me?

 

[BrollySupersj]

This is good, I just cant wait for Ghost Rider and Superman Returns to battel eachother at the box office.

Super who?
personaly i dont give a rat's a$$ about superman....was never a fan even as a kid. although i did enjoy the 1st 2 superman movies ...but they never made me want to go out and buy the action figures and i have no desire to buy the dvds. but hey thats just me....
however supes is just gonna win at the BO next year...no doubt about that. Supes has such a long history w/ people its almost a sure bet...especially w/ the hard knocks the US has been recieving lately. i have a feeling that US audiences are looking for a movie hero who isnt treading on the dark side.
im just hoping that at least GR will find an audience big enough to get a sequel greenlit.

Supes may very well be the #1 Summer film. Not sure if it can beat King Kong's totals carrying over from December. Also too many people are doubting X3. It's going to be bigger and better than X2. Everyone here will be calling Ratner God and wanting him to direct every comic book film. That's the way this fan crap starts. It's always hate first, worship later. Hate the unkown. LOL

X-Men has the advantage of coming out in May which is usually the best month for a Summer release. Better than July 4th.

 

[Abe]

blade shades,
honestly, which comic book movie has had good fan backing from the get-go. to my mind, nothing. i remember even spider-man was getting torn a new one during production, same as SM2. geez, i STILL hear the bad press about it at times.
GR has been no exception. that being written, you wait til it's release. sleeper hit. it will blow everyone away.
i'm not up for boycotting superman returns either. although i no longer read the superman comics, i will still watch it. same deal with x3 (personally i'm waiting to see what vinnie jones looks like as juggernaut).
so, in suming up, GR will be amazing.
and i was on the set with MJS to see them film one scene. a mate of mine was an extra also. wahoo!

 

[blades_shades]

I'd say Spiderman and X-Men had a good fan backing as far as them showing up to the box office the first week. Fans can whine all they want on the internet but when the movie comes out...they're still fans and they'll be there. That's why Hulk was so HUGE on opening weekend.

 

[Hellion]

Can't wait!!!!

 

[Kmack]

I hope this movie is awesome, because I'm really looking forward to it

 

[FlameHead]

Oh, I'm positive it will be. You won't be dissapointed.

 

[TheVileOne]

Told you they wouldn't move it to may or "swap dates" with X-men 3.

If they are moving it to July 14th a week after Pirates 2...I think that's a bad idea. But, since it probably has less than half the budget that Pirates 2 does, it will probably do ok.

 

[FlameHead]

I guess it's just the waiting game now. We'll just have to wait and see.

 

[Hellscream]

I checked out the movie's website, and it was updated a few days ago, so that isn't quite dead...

 

[Hellscream]

On the other hand, never mind, I found out...

 

[nightstreak]

What movie?????

Yeah, probably by scrollin' down about 10 threads to see one entitled "Ghost Rider now July 14th 2006"

What movie?????

This is the Ghost Rider movie forum, so take a wild guess...

 

[Advanced Dark]

I don't like July 14th anymore because it's only 1 week after POTC2.

See the link below and tell me what you think.
