Ghost Rider
Though the only person/site who has seen Ghost Rider had me convinced the film was this month's hit, I have recently read it again wondering what the heck Sony is up to. And, now that I have read the review/report with a negative mindset, it does sound like it is hiding something.
Why am I freaking out? Well, I'm not freaking out, but it looks like Sony wants to keep critics out of theatres until the film's theatrical release.
Ghost Rider Not Screened... by Critics
A bad sign. You have a big-budget comic book adaptation, which usually means box office gold, and you are holding back the hype machine by holding back the critics. What are you up to Sony? There is only really one thing to take from this - Sony feels they have a Daredevil on their hands.
Sure, they don't want us thinking this, but the NYPost's report does not sound all that positive.
At least Sony can already claim that Ghost Rider has broke a record - the most expensive movie to ever receive the no-critic treatment.
It looks like Sony is similar to a damaged high school cheerleader with a broken heart. After Da Vinci Code got dumped early by the critics (something that hurt its box office take), the studio has had a trust issue with the critics ever since.
See a psychiatrist and get over it!
Ghost Rider opens to theatres on February
16th. Critics will see it on February 15th.
