Who else saw this in theaters?

Yeppers, I went to go see this on opening day, June 6th, 1989. I remember I was so excited that I could barely sleep the night before. I couldn't wait for Christmas when my parents had bought just about every single thing related to this film.

I can honestly say, 1989 was one heck of a year to be a kid. Not only did they have a sequel to Ghost Busters (1984), but that year you had:

• Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
• Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)
• Back to the Future Part II (1989)
• The Karate Kid, Part III (1989) (Stupid film, but entertaining nonetheless)

Also, a slew of other films that weren't sequels such as:

• Batman (1989)
• Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989)
• When Harry Met Sally... (1989)
• Say Anything... (1989)
• Christmas Vacation (1989)
• Uncle Buck (1989)
• Field of Dreams (1989)
• Weekend at Bernie's (1989)
• Road House (1989)

Those are just a few of the movies that I went to go see that year. I feel bad for anybody who was either too young or not born yet. That was one wild ride.

I did and only vaguely remember it. I was only six at the time though.

I saw this in the theater when I was 16, I was such a big fan of the first movie, i had to see this movie too, and it was good for a sequel, I don't know why a lot of people didn't like it, it had a lot of cool scenes in it.

Yep, I saw it in a theatre in Denver in summer 89 when I was very young. I remember being scared when Janosz's eyes start to glow, but I still really liked it. I remember going to Toys R Us later that day and getting some Kenner Real Ghostbusters toys - the ecto popper and goggles set. We also had spaghetti O's in the shape of the Ghostbusters and other assorted merchandise like storybooks. Ghostbusters was really huge round about that time. it just seemed to be everywhere.

'Cause if it leaks to the VC he could end up MIA, and then we'd all be put on KP.

I saw this in the UK in December 1989 (as it opened months later here than in the USA) for my friend's 10th birthday, I was 9 myself.
I can remember absolutely loving it, and I got the novelisation for Christmas that year. I also remember Shreddies cereals having different scenes from the movie on the back of their cereal packets, and stickers of the ghostbusters/ghosts etc inside the packet so you could make your own scenes etc.!
My final other random memory is going for a birthday McDonald's after the movie (McDonald's was really a treat for kids back then!) and we all got strawberry milkshakes and pretended they were slime drinks haha!
Very fond memories of this movie :)

I did! I was 6 years old.
