“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.
That was the female characters version of Ghostbusters.
