Fat and ugly lesbian women aren’t as good a draw as fat anf ugly straight men.
GB I cost about $30 mil and took in almost $300 at the box office. This one will flop.
I like reading about the true costs of making a movie and what is needed to break even or make a profit.
This film’s cost gave Titanic a run for its money and this AINT no Titanic.
It will end with a loss. And a horrific one at that.
If I had to guess, between 50 to 100 million, based on what I read in the article regarding drop in theaters week to week and overseas take regarding comedies.
Those Christian movies dont cost all that much to make but boy do they bring in a fortune.
But some in Hollywood would rather go bankrupt than make a movie like that.
That’s a shame.
When the director, the director’s best bud, and the studio started labeling anyone who expressed any reservations a sexist, misogynist, etc., I wanted it to fail. Didn’t really care before. Feig and Apatow like to equate Ghostbusters hate to “Trump-voting mouth-breathers,” so double F’em.
Well on of the reviews I read was that the characters in the new one did not mesh together like the characters in the original. I can’t confirm this as I have not watched the new one.
Myself I hope all the reboots fail. Let’s get some new movies instead of more craptastic retreads.
Quotes from the original:
Ray: Personally, I liked the university. They gave us money and facilities, we didn’t have to produce anything! You’ve never been out of college! You don’t know what it’s like out there! I’ve worked in the private sector. They expect results.
Pencil neck, the guy from the govt made them shut down the grid. The union guy didn’t want to do it.
I here the remake is just the opposite. Govt is good.
Hollywood can’t make a good movie today. Every rare now and then a gem slips through the corporate brass. Movies were better when it wasn’t a 21 year old faggot deciding what movies to make.
I exaggerate. All movie ideas now go through a series of focus groups which is why they are getting so bad. Focus groups destroy creativity and ruin everything they touch by compressing things. In order to eliminate the undesirable the also eliminate the outstanding. Everything gets compressed into a mediocre middle.
Movies by committee? Gee, what could go wrong.
PUKE.
Next, an all lesbian version of the Magnificent Seven set in outer space. Can’t wait...
Glad to see them throwing good money after bad on this turkey.
Not going to see it after watching the insipid, annoying trailer. But I have enjoyed rooting against them. A bunch of annoying politically correct hacks.
For the life of me, I simply cannot figure out why on Earth they made a reboot of this flick.
40 years later, Larry Storch finally has the last laugh.
Just because female screenwriters hate men doesn’t mean all women hate men.
My wife took my son and nephew to Ghostbusters while I went to Star Trek Beyond the other night. She hated it.
What I find amusing is that you can say “Ghostbusters 2” sucked (because “Ghostbusters 2” did suck), and that’s just fine, or you can totally ignore “Ghostbusters 2” (because it’s totally worth ignoring), and that’s just fine - but if you say the Ghostbusters remake sucks, or just totally ignore it, somehow that makes you an ignorant misogynist lout.
Tax break.
The studio was desperate for another GB, and since Murray wouldn’t work with Ramis again because of their feud, they just had to force this one out.
