UPDATE: ‘Friday the 13th’ Set To Break Box Office Records
Update: This is the best domestic opening day ever for an R-rated horror-slasher pic. Update #2: The latest estimate brings Friday in with $45m over the four day weekend. I know many of you are sick of hearing about Jason Voorhees at this point, but come on, even if you didn’t like the movie, it’s still pretty awesome getting to see him on his feet again slaying at Camp Crystal Lake. This morning we just got our hands on the official “projected” box office numbers for this holiday weekend and was floored. According to reports, New Line Cinema’s Friday the 13th reboot is set to make nearly $20m on Friday alone and estimated to bring in $60m over the four day holiday weekend. This has to be one of (if not the) biggest horror openings of all-time. You can read on for the box office report and don’t forget to write your own review of the film in our user review section of the film, head to our forum and rank the F13 films and read all of our 13 Days of Jason. It’s pretty safe to say a sequel is on its way.

Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
