‘Ghostbusters’ Reboot Director Paul Feig Demands Jack Dorsey Suspend Trump from Twitter: ‘He’s Trying to Tear This Country Apart’
Breitbart ^ | Nov 22, 2020 | DAVID NG

Hollywood director Paul Feig is urging Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to suspend President Donald Trump from the social media platform, claiming that the president is “trying to tear this country apart.” But the Joe Biden-supporting filmmaker failed to cite any examples of the president violating Twitter rules that could lead to a suspension.

Feig, who directed the 2016 feminist reboot of Ghostbusters, implored Dorsey in a tweet early Sunday: “Dear @jack, please suspend the account of @realDonaldTrump. The warning labels aren’t enough. He’s trying to tear this country apart. What could be more against the rules of Twitter than the destruction of American democracy? He’s over. He’s not even doing his job anymore. Enough.”

Paul Feig failed to cite any instances of President Trump violating Twitter’s terms of service. Under Twitter rules, users can be suspended if they engage in “abusive” behavior, such as sending threats or threatening violence against anyone. They can also be suspended for impersonating someone else.

Feig, who endorsed Joe Biden’s bid for the presidency, has previously called for President Trump to leave the White House.

In 2016, the director appeared to blame President Trump’ followers for the box-office failure of the feminist Ghostbusters reboot.

“I think some really brilliant author … needs to write a book about 2016 and how intertwined we were with Hillary [Clinton] and the anti-Hillary movement,” Feig said during an appearance on “The Jess Cagle Show” on SiriusXM. “Everyone was at a boiling point. I don’t know if it was having an African American president for eight years that teed them up, they were just ready to explode.”

Out of the hundreds of replies Feig has gotten, only about 2 or 3 are opposed. The rest are all for censorship.

“Ghostbusters grossed $128.3 million in North America and $100.8 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $229.1 million,[4] with a net production budget of $144 million.[115] Due to the large amount spent on marketing, the studio stated that the film would need to gross at least $300 million to break even.[116] Before the release, director Paul Feig stated, “A movie like this has to at least get to like $500 million worldwide, and that’s probably low.”[117]

The Hollywood Reporter estimated the film’s financial losses would be over $70 million...

...The film’s performance contributed to Sony taking a $1 billion writedown in January 2017.”

Darn shame.
