Exactly five years after Ghost Rider hit theaters on Presidents’ Day weekend 2007, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance opened wide over the same holiday period this year and earned only about half of what the first movie did. That’s still a respectable $22 million — good enough for third place this past weekend — but decidedly middle-of-the-road as far as comic book adaptations (on par with Hellboy and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen), even with elevated 3-D ticket prices. The good news for the sequel is that its production budget was only about half of Ghost Rider, so it should still manage to earn a healthy profit, particularly when the international receipts come in.

Given there’s only two months until the April 20 release date of Scary Movie 5 and we have yet to have a confirmed cast or plot, much less a trailer or any imagery, it should come as no surprise that The Weinstein Company has postponed the film. Now, we won’t get to see the fifth entry in the long-running horror spoof series until January 11, 2013 — meaning two things: 1) there’s another year of pop culture references that will be crammed into the movie, and 2) the inevitable Paranormal Activity gag will be all the more dated.
