The Ghostbusters Thread (Old, New, Animated, Whatever)

I saw it over the weekend. Overall, meh. There were a few jokes that made me laugh, and I was reasonably entertained. There were quite a few plot holes, however, and I didn't care at all about any of the characters. The story as a whole was just underwhelming. I've definitely seen worse movies, but I've also seen much, much better.

tl; dr: being a fucking unfunny wuss. As usual. What did you expect? :lol: I'm not watching this, but I guess he didn't talk about Sony/Feig/Donkey Kong being tards and the whole "make a cameo or we'll sue you" situation. Right?

Taking a side is not taking the middle road lel. Also, remember when he used to make this type of shit:


Fuck that, this is funnier:

btw, could we all agree that even Luigis Mansion 2 is a better Ghostbuster experience than the new movie?

I dunno, saying its just an average movie seems to be the general consensus. Definitely not worth the giant ass controversy it had. I pretty much agreed with him on his points.

It's been now two weeks and Ghostbusters has failed to get back its production budget domestically and internationally. I think that it will probably make about $12 million this weekend (just going on the trends) and with the international numbers, that should push it over the production budget. Assuming the movie will stay up for two more weeks domestically, I'm predicting that the final box office returns will end up being $140 million domestic, about $60 million foreign.

OK, so even after - what, two, three weeks? - three weeks in theaters, I have never seen the trailer for Ghostbusters 2016. And I don't mean seeking it out on YouTube, I mean in everyday media consumption. I have been seen the tie-ins in great abundance instead.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Right now the box office is sitting at $106 million domestic and $52 million overseas for a worldwide gross of $158 million. Still $130 million away from grossing twice its production budget and it doesn't even sniff the estimated $350-500 million that it'll need to break even.

I think Japan, Germany, and maybe France are the only major markets that the film has left to open in and I'll be shocked if it grosses more than $3 million in each.

Eh, it might do okay in France and to a lesser extent Germany, depending on how strong and dumb the regressive left is there. It definitely is a minor flop though; it made its production back, but it still isn't anywhere near breaking even.

It did okay for a summer comedy, but it utterly failed as a summer blockbuster meant to kick off a new franchise.
