This film bombed.

So glad you're back! Lest we forget?

It bombed gloriously.

Where's Ruiner420 when we need him?

Hah, I'm not actually the bloke that used to post those reminders. I was simply being cheeky.

It seemed like a fitting post to make on the first day of post-IMDb film discussion.

Actually I finally saw it and I liked it. I wouldn't say it "bombed" but not, it not do very well. It did make like 180 million or something but on a bloated budget so maybe they spent 200 or more on advertising so it probably lost them a little bit of money. But with related junk they will sell tied in into the film which I don't even know how many millions they might get from that, it probably...about breaks even.

It was actually a decent movie just with a terrible trailer that made it look horrible. I liked it a lot. I am not crazy about Paul Feigs other films as they are a bit too silly, they are just OK and the trailer made the film look just like those films whereas...it was actually different I believe had a different writer, was funnier, and had some tension which the ghostbusters films need. I would call it pretty bad comparing it to the original, but...on its own, it was actually a good film and even an OK/sortof bad in CGI ghostbusters was still enjoyable for me.
