Ghost Rider' lights box-office fire By DAVID GERMAIN, AP Movie Writer

LOS ANGELES - Satan's bounty hunter has looted the wallets of movie-goers. "Ghost Rider," Sony's comic-book adaptation starring Nicolas Cage as a motorcycle stunt driver moonlighting as a collector of evil souls for the devil, debuted as the top weekend movie with $44.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Debuting in second place with $22.1 million was Disney's "Bridge to Terabithia," based on the children's novel about a boy and girl who create an elaborate fantasy land to escape from the troubles of the real world.
The movies bumped off the previous weekend's No. 1 flick, DreamWorks' Eddie Murphy comedy "Norbit," which slipped to third place with $16.8 million, lifting its total to $58.9 million.
Premiering at No. 4 with $14 million was the Warner Bros. romance "Music and Lyrics," starring Hugh Grant as a washed-up pop singer and Drew Barrymore as his unlikely songwriting partner.
The Lionsgate romance "Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls" opened in fifth place with $12.1 million, a sharp drop from filmmaker Perry's February releases the last two years, 2006's "Madea's Family Reunion," which premiered with $30 million, and 2005's "Diary of a Mad Black Woman," which debuted with $21.9 million.
Universal's spy thriller "Breach" debuted at No. 6 with $10.4 million. It stars Chris Cooper as Robert Hanssen, the FBI man caught in 2001 for selling secrets to Russia, and Ryan Phillippe as a young bureau operative who helps bring him down.
Though trashed by critics, "Ghost Rider" helped pull Hollywood out of its box-office doldrums, with overall revenues rising for the first time in six weekends. The top 12 movies took in $141.4 million, up 28 percent from the same weekend last year.
"This is the weekend that could turn the tide and get us going in the right direction," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers.
Based on the Marvel Comic books, "Ghost Rider" delivered Hollywood's biggest opening so far this year, topping the $34.2 million debut for "Norbit." "Ghost Rider" was the best opening weekend ever for Cage, beating the $35.1 million debut of "National Treasure."
"Ghost Rider" also extended Hollywood's winning streak with comic-book adaptations, a genre some critics have said would eventually play itself out.
"I think as long as stories are being told in a way that audiences embrace them, you can go for a long, long, long, long time," Bruer said.
Coming this summer are two big comic-book sequels, Sony's "Spider-Man 3" and 20th Century Fox's "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer."
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Media By Numbers LLC. Final figures will be released Monday.
"Ghost Rider," $44.5 million.
"Bridge to Terabithia," $22.1 million.
"Norbit," $16.8 million.

Wenn es so weitergeht, dann wird eine Fortsetzung immer wahrscheinlicher!
Daran hatte ich auch bereits gedacht. Das wäre toll, denn ich "will" Scarecrow.
Leider hatte Nic Cage irgendwo schonmal verlauten lassen, dass er an Sequels aller Art nicht interessiert sei!
Man könnte dann ja einen Film GR pur machen!

Leider hatte Nic Cage irgendwo schonmal verlauten lassen, dass er an Sequels aller Art nicht interessiert sei!
Man könnte dann ja einen Film GR pur machen! Ich erinnere mich, dass Nic Cage sagte, er möchte Sequels nur machen, wenn das Drehbuch eine wesentliche Entwicklung gegenüber dem ersten Film darstellt. Da Fortsetzungen aber meistens schlechter als das Original sind, kann ich ihn sogar ein wenig verstehen. Cage möchte eben vermeiden, an einem Film mitzuwirken, der nur gedreht wird um schnell Kohle zu machen.
Letztendlich bleibt es also ihm selbst überlassen, ob er den Rider nochmal spielen möchte. Ich hätte auch keim Problem mit einem neuen Schauspieler. Es gibt ja auch noch den Ketch-Rider.
Dafür wäre ich sofort zu haben.
Interessanterweise ist neben Blackheart und Caretaker übrigens auch Captain Dolan im Film zu sehen, dessen Tochter Stacy aktuell in "Finale" ihren Auftritt hat. Und was seltsamerweise noch keiner erwähnt hat, ein gewisser Officer Mackie ist auch dabei.
