They should have a mode where you get to be the ghosts. Also, you should have other characters to replace the new movie’s protagonists with. (I vote for the original Charlie’s Angels, Farrah Fawcett-Majors, Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson)

Give the people what they don’t want is not a strong business model

Would be interesting to see where royalties/profits are contracted to go (before BR). I’m betting this might be a new “business model” to shed expenses in bankruptcy proceedings, know short life cycle of product and company (formed exclusively for this one product?)

$12 million costs for a board game???

Maybe Obama can sign an executive order forcing every famous America to buy a copy or pay a penalty on their taxes.

The problem is that most people in the US have no idea what you are talking about.

who wants to watch a group of ugly dikes kill cartoon ghosts?

Better .... Profit and loss are known almost immediately in our electronic world.

True the sexist comment, but more fascinating is how quickly a result is known.

It’s actually quite common for special effect companies and video game companies to bankrupt. Movie studios look for capable companies that are hungry for business and then they drive the hardest bargain possible.

Not to go off on a tangent, but game developers are making a Friday the 13th video game, and you can play the part of Jason Voorhees, not just the counselors that get killed.

3 female Ghostbusters that look like that and every male gamer would have seen the movie 6 times each. They wouldn’t have cared about female Ghostbusters.Film makers wanted the gay,feminists and ugly women movie goers..Too bad there aren’t`enough of those film lovers to cover 150 million dollar film cost +140 million dollar campaign.. why in the world did it cost SONY 140 million dollars to call half of the moviegoers sexist,troll pigs??

Video game.

[wally_bert]

No Tanya Roberts or that other later Angel?

The company was likely going down anyway and their death would have been unnoted except for the fact that they made a game based on a dud movie.
