How does a star reignite a career? Sometimes all it takes is a flaming skull, cool choppers and Eva Mendez' cleavage.
Certainly, the combination worked wonders for Nicolas Cage with his skull-, chopper- and cleavage-graced "Ghost Rider" burning up the four-day holidah-outing box office with a hot $51.5 million, according to estimates Monday frm Exhibitor Relations.
The debut figured to put Cage on track for his biggest hit since 2004's "National Treasure."
Here's a rundown of the top 10 films based on Friday-Monday estimates compiled by Exhibitor Relations:
1. "Ghost Rider," $51.5 million
2. "Bridge to Terabithia," $29 million
3. "Norbit," $20.7 million
4. "Music and Lyrics," $16 million
5. "Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls," $14.3 million
6. "Breach," $12.3 million
7. "Hannibal Rising," $6.5 million
8. "Because I Said So," $6 million
9. "Night at the Museum," $4.7 million
10. "The Messengers," $4.4 million |
