Is There Really An Audience For This??
I didn't realize Gen Z was clamoring for a Ghostbusters reboot after the all female version flopped as hard as it did and so bad, one of the Cast members received death threats over it?? Ridiculous

shareYeah. I’ll go see it.
shareI saw it with my wife and daughter. They enjoyed it - I have it 6/10.
shareWhole new generations of people are born and grow up to be movie-going members of the world constantly, so they make films for them. A lot of young people who have gone to see this one probably have no interest in the original from 40 years ago.
It might kinda be like watching a 1984 remake of a 1944 film.
While the 2024 film may not engage so well with people who grew up with the 1984 version, people of the current generation would see the new film differently.
Studios also have huge write-offs when films flop and they take care of their tax arrangements very well so they continue to function, always seeking the next hit.
