Sounds like he was trying to capitalize on the idea of a woman running for president. Like Hillary, the movie was also a bomb.
Most of all, it was a movie that should never have been remade, and second of all, the actresses were all either unknowns or not so popular and/or bad actors. And, you don’t go and castrate the original (if you know what I mean).
The movie was wrong on all levels, including the production and director and cast.
The movie sucked. The cast sucked. The script sucked.
Rotten movie. Rotten candidate. and
How about instead of stealing a good movie and substituting good funny characters with bad unfunny ones...coming up with something original that people actually want to see!
Paul. The only thing that your movie and Hillary have in common is they both suck. I’m just sayin’
“Because the misogyny out there was in everybody’s face,” he said. “It was this boiling cauldron of so many contributing factors that made women go ‘Enough,’ thank God.”
No, actually, I’ll bet that a lot of these women, who were abused by powerful Hollywood and media honchos, know in their gut that a guy like Trump, as crude and brash as he is, is not a sexual predator. For one thing, he does not work in a business that is conducive to being around adoring, ambitious young women.
I think that these women came out of the closet because they hate Trump’s politics, and they know that they’re supposed to say he’s a sexist pig, yet they know they’re being hypocrites. Because the men who abused them were PC Liberals who say all the right things and support all the right causes.
I think it was nagging at them that they were condemning Trump’s language and demeanor, knowing that he probably doesn’t try to take advantage of his female employees the way that they were taken advantage of.
“There seems to be a misconception by some Freepers that Ghostbusters (2016) was a financial disaster.”
$144M was the production budget and did not include the massive marketing. The studio claimed it would need $300M gross to break even.
It appears they lost money on this. Estimates are about $70M, but they probably eventually made some of that up in home video and streaming, but not all of it.
The mistake was probably to spend so much on it. Personally I think some movies are worth remaking. Usually these are ones that most people have never seen. Ghostbusters was probably not a film that made sense as a remake.
I think this version was so different from the original it should have been done as a sequel rather than a remake.
To me it was not the worst movie I’ve ever watched, but it does appear to have been a bad investment. I couldn’t really recommend it as worth watching either.

so this dumbass director made a shitty movie that no one wanted to see and then blames the people who don’t want to see it ... the failure of his shitty movie does indeed have parallels to Hillary Clinton’s loss ... just not the ones he’s claiming ...
That new one she is in with the muppets looks really bad.
I had zero interest in seeing it.
On the button!
"Subverting the audience's expectations" can work - for a while.
But after a while, it gets boring.
Regards,
CHris 37. Sorry you had to watch the whole thing. I watched about 5 minutes of it and said the same thing you did, “It sucked”.
Horrible acting, poor script, cheap imitation of the great original.
“I had zero interest in seeing it.”
You didn’t miss anything. Today, there is more programming than anyone could ever have time to watch. So, it’s best not to waste time on pointless drivel like this was.
I did not go to see it in the theater, which is something I rarely do any more. Sometime after it went to streaming services I watched mostly out of morbid curiosity.
I somehow made it through the whole thing too.
I watched on chinese pirated movie site, so they dind;t make any money off of me but still, how do you assemble all these “comedians” in a movie, and not a split second of it is funny?
I do not get it.
It’s like Hollywood has forgotten how to do comedy.
The Liberals/Leftists-Marxists,socialists, etc. have NO SENSE OF HUMOR. I was amongst them for a year as an undercover operative and the Communist Party members were the worst. Absolute old, nasty hags and Machiavellian men whose only goals in life were to practice subversion, deception, and treason.
Interestingly, a few of the old Trotskyites of the Socialist Workers Party/Young Socialist Alliance had a little sense of humor but they were just as fanatical as bunch of communists as the CPers were, and the Maoists were/are still the psychopaths of the Left, with the Marxist/anarchists of Antifa coming in a close second.
Even Saul Alinsky, who I met, knew the value of directed humor which is why some of the Left Comedians are so vile, nasty, and often not so funny.
I’ll pit Mark Steyn, Dennis Miller, Greg Gutfeld, Dan Bongino and Jesse Waters (Plus Diamond and Silk), against any group the left could field in the area of comedian, and then watch our people do a “Yorktown” on them.
Yep - doesn’t realize it was a “the product sucks and nobody wants it” vortex...
That isn’t taking into account marketing and the fact that studios only get a fraction of the ticket sales. I read somewhere that Feig said it would need to take in $500 million worldwide to break even.
