Crazy Rich Asians was funny. Unless you didn't watch it because you're RACIST

How much did GB2016 make? Was it profitable? Because they're not gonna make a sequel to a movie that bombed, you can't cry sexism

Domestically it made slightly more than the 2016 Tarzan movie that absolutely everyone forgot existed but quite a lot more than Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, which isn't much to brag about. On the worldwide stage it made less than Assassin's Creed but slightly more than The Davinci Code 3 (which everyone has also forgotten about). So it wasn't the absolute worst financial disaster of 2016 but it sure didn't do well.

If you adjust for inflation it made less than a quarter of what the original made, domestically.

You'd just have it like video games where everything is a thinly veiled knockoff of the IP the producers really want to use, over and over and over.

It will be in a small town. The cast will be adolescents who remind you of the stranger things kids. One of them will be related to Dan Akroyd. They’ll work with “uncle Ray” to repair some of the old equipment and fight a local paranormal threat with busted up gear that only works half the time.

Finn Wolfhard and Carrie Coon are in talks to star in Sony’s latest installment in the “Ghostbusters” franchise, sources tell Variety

Jason Reitman is directing the pic and has also co-written a screenplay with Gil Kenan. He plans to shoot the film this summer, with Sony planning to release the latest sequel in summer 2020.

The studio would not comment on plot details, but sources say the story will focus on a single mom and her family, with Coon playing the mom and Wolfhard playing her son. It’s currently unknown how that will connect to the new Ghostbusters team.

The film has been a huge priority for the studio, as it has been secretly developing it for some time using the code word “Rust City.” When Reitman was announced as director in January, a teaser trailer and release date were ready the next day.

There were rumblings that Reitman may have been weary about using anyone from the “Stranger Things” cast, given some of the similarities between the two properties, but both he and the executives were blown away by Wolfhard’s audition.

Wolfhard recently wrapped Season 3 of “Stranger Things,” which premieres on Netflix this July, and is also expected to reprise his role in “It: Chapter 2” this fall. He also has “The Goldfinch” and “The Turning” at Amblin. He is repped by CAA, Velocity Entertainment Partners and Jackoway Tyerman Wertheimer Austen Mandelbaum Morris & Klein.

Coon continues to stay busy on both the big and little screen with “Widows” and “The Sinner” earning her critical acclaim this fall. She was also recently seen in “Avengers: Infinity War.” She is repped by UTA, Foundation Talent Management and Peikoff Mahan.

I am fed up of Finn Wolfhard, and barely tolerate him in Stranger Things. If they wanted to use one of them, have Gaten Matarazzo (who is apparently super nice) Or even Caleb McLaughlin as Winston’s kid.

Reitman just redoes maybe his worst movie, Labor Day (although, gently caress, he also did Men, Women, and Children and that was loving awful), except with four guys in the house instead of one Brolin.

I know of the Louisiana Ghostbusters who do parades and lots of charity work around southern Louisiana. A suit is fairly cheap, it’s just a flightsuit you can pick up for ~$30-40. Belt, pads, nametag, hose, belt gadgets if you want them, etc make it add up a little more.

A pack can be made cheaply if you want to put all the work in yourself, but they can start to run pricey if you do the shell, parts, lights and sound route.

There’s a store on GBFans with some decently priced parts for everything, although if you shop around you could probably get things a little cheaper.

Reprising the character would mean a direct sequel, and Murray, Aykroyd and Ivan Reitman would all need to sign off on that.

I really want a scene or a line that acknowledges that they had more adventures after GB2.

Something like... "This is worse than the spectral schnauzer at Westminster Dog Show back in 97."

Yeah, if we get even one scene where the guys (Ernie, Dan, Bill, or even just one of them) wax nostalgic for previous adventures in the 90s, I'll be super happy.

I wonder how they'll talk about Egon, and if they'll mention the stuff that happened during the game. Obviously, I'm referring to the 3% that wasn't a rehash of the first two movies.
