The yentas and Social Justice Warriors eliminated any desire for me to see this re-boot. I was a huge fan of the original and they took something from my childhood and ruined it.

” after an Internet attack on its female cast”

After how people saw that the movie SUCKED based on the trailer.

But the little SW idiot likely knows that the movie doesn’t look that great already.

This awesome publicity shot is an indication of how amazing the new #Ghostbusters is.

If you think 'enjoying' a film is more important than the empowerment that film gives to women, you just might be a misogynist #Ghostbusters

Why do people continue to feed the Morally Bankrupt Hollywood in the first place?. Hollywood as a whole is against just about everything that is American.

We used to call it a “take your medicine movie”, when social engineering preempted entertainment.

Take a good premise (remaking a hugely successful movie) and politicize it by making sure everyone knows the cast is all female, like we wouldn’t figure that out on our own. Then, double down by trying to make headlines by putting the cast on the Ellen show with Hillary.

Sounds like a perfect recipe for cutting about 75% of your ticket sales potential before the movie is even in the can. Brilliant! They must have been consulting with the Target CEO at a secret getaway in Hershey, PA.

$150 million down the toilet. Well, I guess it provided jobs for a few people for a while... So it’s about the same efficiency as a government job program.

They don’t get it. It’s not that the Ghostbusters are women … it’s that they are NOT FUNNY. Sorry … I just don’t think this movie looks good, no matter what gender the stars are. Perhaps some better writing or acting would make it better. Special effects look great, though!

The idea may not have been bad but the casting was terrible and who knows about the writing. Would bet it is too PC to watch. So I will pass on this Turkey.

Be prepared for Hollyweird to remake popular films with gay/female themes.

Agree. I have no desire to see this. I cannot stand the 4 women who are starring in it. And frankly, I am offended that Hollywood thinks that women are such sheeple, subservient to the ‘women issue’, that they will automatically pay money to see a reboot......just because the main roles are now portrayed by women.

They should have never remade Ghostbusters. Period. What's next? Remaking MacGyver? Oh wait. They are doing that too.

If Bill Atherton was in the new Ghostbusters movie, I'd consider watching it. He's not. I'm skipping it.

When I heard they were going to redo Ghostbusters with an all-girl-crew, I thought they were joking. I should have known better.

One girl in the crew would easily have worked.

But if you’re going to have all women, they have to be some combination of attractive and funny/sympathetic. Mostly attractive.

I think I’ll pass on this one.

Hollywood and Professional athletics are just about the only fields these day where quality of work is directly related to their success.

They can put out crappy work, and people will avoid it in droves.

If the movie was well written and funny...it would succeed with goats in the starring role. If it sucks, nothing will help it.

This is going to be one of the biggest box office flops of all time. Nobody likes the previews.

I haven’t been to a movie theater since “Top Gun”, when I took my son.

I have DISH, but insofar as movies go, I tend to watch TCM, and The Western Channel.

I also don’t watch ANY sitcoms to movies on the networks.

Everything now tries to push “kickass” women, homosexuality, how blacks “founded” the country.

Every show seems to work in “global warming”, and the “religion of peace”.

It’s indoctrination at its worst.

This so-called "movie" is DOA = Dead On Arrival!

Whoever came up with the not so bright idea of remaking the original should be fired!
