Women busting ghosts??!! Women can't even bust some common household pests such as a spider or mouse, let alone a ghost.

The problem isn't the all female cast. The problem is that the movie is dog shit. If you had the same script and reversed the genders it wouldn't have been any better.

I have no problem recognizing a quality movie even if the subject matter doesn't appeal to me. I hate golf, can't fucking stand it, Tin Cup is the greatest sports film ever made.

I could have gotten behind ghostbusters despite it's feminist/swj pandering if the movie was well made, it wasn't. Paul "The Cuck" Feig seems to forget that the hate for this film didn't really start until the first preview came out and gave us a glimpse of things to come.

About that preview. In retrospect it was one of if not the best preview of all time. In thirty seconds it managed to capture the essense of a 2+ hour film perfectly. The essense an absolute shit show. Who ever made the preview, end credits, Chris Helmsworth, Andy Garcia, and Kristin Wigg are the only people that come out of this looking okay.

Before you downvote me for saying Wigg word on the street is that she hated the experience from start to finish. Knew the script was shit, knew Feigs direction was shit, and knew her costars were shit. She's beem pretty low-key since it's release and is contractualy obligated to NOT say negative things that could hurt the movie. I give her a pass.

We need a name for this!

Corporate suicide by pandering to SJW bullshit - someone needs to coin a slick name for this, so the concept can become more widespread!

I work as a writer, so I usually don't root for someone's creation to fail as I know how hard it is to make something. With that said, I was rooting so hard for Ghostbusters to fail. Note to Sony: Don't try to shame me into going to see something.

A bad movie is a bad movie. Trying to swing it to who people didn't see it because of blah blah sexism bs I have seen countless movies/ shows with great female protagonist. A good movie is a good movie you can have a A-list cast and still make a crap movie

As much as a big of a loss it is to not even break even...

The true financial loss is how GhostBusters,if done right,CAN lead to that "universe building,multi sequel movies like MCU".The sheer oppurtunity cost lost because of that would probably make me pissed beyond hell if i was a share-holder.

Basically this

A pass-the-torch film with the original remaining cast that respected the original fans while also introducing new characters (including female heroes) would probably have given Sony a decade and a half of free money.

It's the squandered, missed opportunity that should enrage shareholders the most. They should be demanding a bus full of c-level resignations

and

And that is a bare-minimum amount required for the film to be a failure. 500mil is breaking even, studios don't spend half a quarter-billion dollars to break even, they'd do better putting the money in a 0.75% savings account at the local bank than producing movies.

Which brings us to the final point of this film not having regular-film expectations of earning back its cost plus a decent profit, this was a franchise-launching attempt at a tentpole movie, they were hoping for a blockbuster that would not only bring in an immediate billion-dollar haul but would set them up for lucrative sequels and possibly even spin-offs. Success depends on one's expectations and for Sony the expectations were very high here, internally this is already being seen as a massive flop.

It's obvious that our anti-women culture is why it failed. Nothing to do with it straight up sucking or anything...

Sad thing is, my cynical comment is probably someone else's logic somewhere else on Reddit.

Champagne! :D

Just goes to reinforce the fact that women like chick-flicks and men like hot chicks. There is literally no audience for this movie.

fretit · 2016-08-01T17:19:18+00:00

Maybe if they were ghostbusting wearing bikinis ...

2016-08-01T17:55:01+00:00

Good I'm Glad , if they had included bill Murray and another of the older guys and had one or two female ghostbusters I wouldn't have minded but this movie was pure and utter Feminist propaganda . Sort of like " what guys can do we can do also" yeah right total Fail.

mandel17 · 2016-08-01T23:23:45+00:00

That does it - I'm getting a vagina!

nexus974 · 2016-08-01T23:06:50+00:00

Ghostbusters bombed because it's a crappy movie.

clayticus · 2016-08-02T06:52:07+00:00

This is what I love about free markets. The people have spoken. There won't be too many more feminist movies like this unless these Hollywood "rich wannabe social engineers" want to keep blowing their money. But that's the best thing, once these guys are losing money they're going to say, " feminism? Fuck that!"

2016-08-01T18:21:49+00:00

I really don't think it would have made money even without the feminism. But with it.. I don't know what they were thinking.

lolz_69 · 2016-08-01T18:47:02+00:00

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAAA

johnnygeeksheek · 2016-08-01T20:06:41+00:00

You guys are blaming feminism, but feminism is only a sub-set of Marxism. Marxism is the real enemy.

victor_knight · 2016-08-02T05:56:26+00:00

The movie didn't even qualify for the, "it's so bad it's good" category.

freethinker1976 · 2016-08-03T12:18:24+00:00

Mad Max fury road started this crap.

cynicalsimon · 2016-08-01T17:28:47+00:00

Swaggy B -"No matter how they spin it, I find it hard to believe the Ghosbusters franchise isn't dead."

Not the smartest guy..

TomRoberts2016 · 2016-08-01T18:31:42+00:00

Can somebody explain the math to me?

Didn't they supposedly break even?

lonewolf-chicago · 2016-08-01T20:25:37+00:00

I don't see how that is possible. They didn't spend that much on the movie so how can you loose that much if you didn't spend that much.
