The disaster that was/ is the all-female cast ‘Ghostbusters’ reboot has finally gone the way that critics said it would…the grave.
But it will leave no ghost to haunt and linger with bad sequels and merchandising. The dead will remain sealed tightly in their tombs this time, because Sony has confirmed that all plans to turn the lackluster and contrived reboot into a franchise have been buried.
Unlike the original Ghostbusters, which led to Ghostbusters 2 five years later in 1989, the new film has under-performed commercially since its release last month — not well enough according to the Hollywood Reporter to inspire a sequel…in fact, it’s projected to lose over $70 million smackers before all is said and done.
This dashes the hopes by social justice feminists that the much panned movie would prevail into a hit despite the naysayers….
‘Ghostbusters’ has earned an underwhelming $200 million globally to date, but reports suggest it needs to gross $300 million to break even…a sum it is well short of no matter who is doing the math.
Sony executives had previously been bullish about a sequel with Rory Bruer, the company’s President of Worldwide Distribution, telling The Wrap: “I expect Ghostbusters to become an important brand and franchise…there’s no doubt in my mind it will happen.”
But now their bullishness has turned to mere bullsh*t…much like the movie was itself…
Sony is not commenting, but now The Hollywood Reporter is reporting the “Ghostbusters universe” will now consist of an animated movie and a TV spin-off. Meaning that once and for all, the ill-conceived exploits of Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon, and Kristen Wiig have been abandoned…like an old haunted house…
Wonder what beloved 80s movie they’ll try to ruin next…
