Description
With complete honesty, I ended up enjoying this film more than I thought I would. Mainly thanks to the main four actresses. I haven't even watched the original Ghostbusters, but I still had a pretty fun experience with this.Related content

Turn back while you still can we won't judge.

I am so glad you like the new Ghostbusters, because everyone else is just a frat boy who lives in the past.

The first film wasn't even THAT great, the sequel was markedly better on multiple fronts. Especially in it's characterization which was just a tad lacking in the original and only mitigated by the actor's top-notch performances.

You are a brave brave dude by liking and drawing something positive about the new ghostbusters movie. My applause to you good sir.

Thanks, it's just me being honest.

That's good because apparently, we're not allowed to have an opinion about the movie unless we hate it because if someone like yourself likes it, some jackass will come in Bully you for liking something they don't.

Greasy sweet! All I can say is, I think you'll love seeing Dana Barret and Janine.

I haven't seen the Reboot yet, and I don't intend to go to the movie theatre for it, because judging by the trailer it's not a movie that whose comedy is along my taste, so I'm not willing to spend money on a movie I likely won't enjoy. With that said, I will give it a shot once it's available as VOD or on tv at some point, because it's unfair to judge a movie before having seen it in full to form an opinion on it.
Anyway, I like this picture. You seem to have captured the characters' personalities in the facial expressions quite well.
You should definitely watch the original Ghostbusters at some point, it's a classic and considered among the best comedies of the 80's. I know of no person who watched the very first movie and didn't enjoy it on some level, the dialogues especially are fantastic.

Actually, the trailer didn't capture the movie at all. The movie itself is quite amazing. I watched it in 3D and WHY DOES EVERY CUTE DUDE NAMED KEVIN WEARING GLASSES HAVE TO GET POSSESED '~'

That does sound promising. And I did conclude from the somewhat positive reviews from people like Manohla Dargis and J.R. Kinnard that the trailer might not have been a fair or good representation of the movie. On the other hand,Β Cinemascore reports that audiences gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale, which isn't that great by Cinemascore standards (a majority of movies get an A or A+ on Cinemascore), then again the recent Warcraft movie also got only a B+ on Cinemascore, and I ended up absolutely enjoying that movie.
Anyway, as I said, I'm definitely going to watch it on VOD or tv, and I never hate a movie before having seen it in full. I just don't feel confident spending money on a movie ticket (which are quite expensive these days) on a movie I'm not sure if I'll end up enjoying. Comedies especially are always a very subjective thing, since everyone has a different sense of humour. Anyway, I appreciate your recommendation, but it's also quite possible the two of us have a different sense of humor, since we are likely quite apart in terms of age (I'll be 30 tomorrow

That's fine, to each their own, it's just comedy, I don't judge.

I'd like to hear your thoughts.

I only heard about it from few people online. I'll have to see the movie tomorrow, toΒ make up my own mind about it.

dude SHUT UP and go do something more productive instead of attacking people leaving a compliment to something they enjoyed
if you didn't like it or refuse to like it, fine
but do NOT go around hunting down people just because they like it

But they ruined a movie that did not need a reboot

oh wah, cry me a river and go drown in it
sheesh, you're acting more immature than the people you claim are acting like

Well if they did it with the org cast it would have 5 stars on idbm and every one would watch it
π: 0 β©: 1
1/4 of the original cast is dead. It wouldn't work.
π: 0 β©: 1
they did nothing but absolutely insult the fan base every chance they got. Cant wait to hear how badly this bombed
π: 1 β©: 2
So far it's exceeded both Sony's estimate for the first weekend and the industry estimate, and we still have a few hours of weekend to go.

Correct. However the movie had a budget of $144 million and in promotion and marketing $100 million was spent (which isn't an unusual sum for marketing these days), so it'll have to make more than $244 million to start making a profit. I'm by no means saying it can't do that, I'm just saying the next 2 weeks will be decisive.
π: 0 β©: 1
How does 65 million dollars sound as a start?
π: 0 β©: 1
It does sound very good indeed. But I already read that it made $65.1 million on its first weekend back when I wrote my previous post. It's just that this year saw many movies that had a fantastic debut weekend, and then dropped very significantly on its second weekend, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" being the most famous example. I'm not saying Ghostbusters 2016 will too, or that it won't, I'm not predicting. All I'm saying is we won't know how well this movie truly did until its second and third weekend. I don't wish the movie badly, so if it still does well on its second and third weekend, more power to its cast.Β

from all i am seeing the theaters are opening up to empty theaters
π: 1 β©: 1
I wouldn't call at LEAST $46 million on the first weekend empty theaters.
π: 0 β©: 1
for a reboot of a beloved franchise, it should have done 100. the second week will have a huge drop
π: 1 β©: 2
I'm just gonna say you don't know how Hollywood numbers work. $65 million, final tally for this weekend, is an INCREDIBLE box office score. Ten million over what Hollywood projected, and TWENTY-FIVE MILLION more than Sony themselves projected.

which means absolutely nothing if they dont make a profit
π: 1 β©: 1
Insult is harsh. They're not going to break even on this movie. Maybe they will barely. this cost 144 million.
BUT. BUT. It isnt the worst thing that couldve happend to ghostbusters. There is a new cartoon coming out soon.
π: 0 β©: 2
and that price doesnt even consist of the advertising budget
π: 1 β©: 0
$144 million is the budget, but there's also $100 million on promotion and advertizing. So it'd have to make more than $244 million to make a profit. I'm not convinced it can't do that, I think there's a possibility it can. We will know in about 2 weeks.

Two completely different markets. A movie bomb is still a bomb.
But you are right. If the merch makes like double what the movie costs it does make sense to make another.
And Sony said another IS MOST DEFINITELY HAPPENING.
π: 0 β©: 1
You misunderstood me, I actually meant the $100 million on promotion and advertizing that has been spent on getting word about the movie out. So that's part of Sony's expenditures, not profits. I didn't mean the merchandise.
And I actually meant to indicate it has to make $244 million in profits to break even. But I actually do think this movie might do that in the box office, even without taking merchandisee into account. The first weekend at least was very good, we'll see how it does in its second and third weekends.
Yeah I know Sony has said that, but movie studios often say a sequel is "definitely happening" only to change their minds later. Ultimately they'll make their decision about the sequel based on the final numbers, like any other studio would. With that said, if the movie does the box office numbers I expect it to do, then yes, I expect a sequel.

Hyper fucked. Mega Fucked.Β Β Β Β Β

It's still early ahead of the movie's 2nd weekend, and the movie won't open in a lot of the overseas markets until later in August. We won't truly know for sure if it flopped or was a success until around August 8-10, so both groups of people, the ones who like the movie and who dislike the movie, should just relax about the box office and drink some tea until then.

If they end up having a new animated series like THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS one, this WOULD be something like this! Nicely done! ;DΒ
