There's been a rush/rise

Comics have only increased in popularity over the years, and lately there's been a rush to turn masked men with amazing powers into celluloid stars.

Hi,
Does "rush" in the above equal "rise" or something esle? Thanks.
  

Top answer

"Rise" does not fit the sentence. When something is popular, people rush to the stores to buy it. When there is a popular theme or character, the film studios rush to produce movies about that character - the first ones out will usually make the most profit.
