Here are the best selling movies of the week. Satan’s bounty hunter has looted the wallets of moviegoers.
“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 real world’s troubles.
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.
Estimated ticket sales are in millions of dollars, for Friday through Sunday at North American theaters.
