Seen it last night also and enjoyed it a lot. I think I might have preferred it if it was a sequel and not a reboot, but it was still a good movie. Hemsworth and Mckinnen were by far the best parts.
That brings me to something... if this gets a sequel, I think it could be really great. If we can get the first Ghostbusters movie that isn't the exact same plot as the original, it could actually be really interesting. Not to mention they could improve on some of the issues from this one.Seen it last night also and enjoyed it a lot.

Yeah I wish they would have made it as a sequel instead of a reboot.I thought Ghostbusters was fine, but a huge swing and a miss. I chuckled a few times but didn't really laugh hard. Still think they had some huge missed opportunities.
Took the fam this weekend to see it. All of us that it was great. Funny with lots of action and I thought great cameos (with only cameo missing). Its not better than GB1 overall, but I thought it was funnier. Great reboot to the series and I love how they left it open for a sequel. Based on the merits of this one, I am guessing they will have one.
It's the highest opening for a live action comedy in over a year, and Sony has already said sequels are coming. It'll be a modest success, but still a success.Based on the money it's not making.. I'd argue different.
Most comedies are cheap to make. This is a sci-fi movie with a 144M budget. After covering promotional costs, theater cuts, etc. it needs to make around 300M to break even. Overseas box office could save this, but Ghostbusters is not that well known outside of the US.Yeah, we can't start looking at every movie not opening at $100 million like it's a flop. This is not an Avengers movie.

That's not the problem. The problem is profit. If the movie had cost $50m, then I'd say it was fine.
Yeah, this has been a terrible summer for movies. Nemo has made huge bank and Pets will turn a nice profit too, though.That's true too. By that same token, every big budget feature released this summer has been a flop except for Civil War (and Jungle Book if you count that as Summer).
