Ghostrider is getting a sequel as much to keep the rights from reverting back to marvel as anything.

I heard a story on NPR some time last year that indicated lots of movies that flop in the US do phenomenally worldwide. That's why Ghostrider is getting a sequel, for example.
Very common. Like that movie about the cruise ship hit by a huge wave. Total failure in the states- HUGE over seas. |

Because if it lost as much as the US wanted to believe it did, it totally makes sense to make another just to be vindictive? |
The past cannot be changed. The future is yet within your power.

Poseidon. The film grossed a disappointing $22,155,410 on its opening weekend for an average of $6,232 from 3,555 theaters, failing to knock Mission: Impossible III from the top of the box office.[7] Warner Bros. President and Chief Operating Officer Alan F. Horn called the results, "very, very disappointing". Poseidon went on to generate $60,674,817 in the United States, and $121,000,000 in foreign markets, for a combined total gross of $181,674,817.[8]
The film holds a Guinness World Record for having the most detailed CG model in a film. The exterior shots included 181,579 individual objects, including 382 cabins, 876 portholes, 73 towels, and 681 deck chairs

I thought I had, but it came back. With vengeance. You owe me. |

Eh, I liked I Am Legend, but I think the ending was super weak, and so I can't say I'm interested in a sequel.

I liked the last paragraph So far none of the film adaptations have remained true to the book. In the book version, it turns out that all the infected are getting over their monstrous tendencies and becoming civilized. As Neville is the only human on Earth, he’s public enemy number one as he’s been slaughtering them all that time. They actually capture him, imprison him and sentence him to be executed. This is where Neville finally realizes that even though the infected appear to be the boogeymen of horror stories, it’s him who’s become their nightmare as the last human. Too bad Hollywood tends to change this ending; it’s as if we’re not allowed to see ourselves as the problem. There can be a lot to learn from endings like this.
The last words spoken by Neville in the book, “Full circle. A new terror born in death. A new superstition entering the unassailable fortress of forever. I Am Legend” If they used that ending then that might justify a sequel. They will be serving ice in the cocktail lounge of hell before that would get the green light though. |
