"As of Aug. 7, Ghostbusters had earned just under $180 million at the global box office, including $117 million domestic. The film still hasn't opened in a few markets, including France, Japan and Mexico, but box-office experts say it will have trouble getting to $225 million despite a hefty net production budget of $144 million plus a big marketing spend. The studio has said break-even would be $300 million."

Sony Pictures now a days produce garbage tier movies. They lack vision. This is expected.

For the first time in a long time, I think the market did right thing. I am sick of these reboots, that really don't do better than the original at all. 

good. Ghostbusters is trash anyway.

They made the mistake of remaking a movie which was already mediocre. Ghostbuster's had an amazing crew to save it- the remake didnt.

That's what you get when your marketing campaing is bad.

Thread title is more than likely inaccurate, give that Ghostbusters, like many major film projects, was financed by more than one company.

The movie will probably perform well in the rental market, too.

May it serve to stop any future sequels they were thinking about making. Two turds is not better than one.

This is just plain bad studio management. If they were going to make something so risky, it shouldn't have cost no more than 70-80 mil, not freakin' a hundred and fifty. Goosebumps was more impressive at 58 mil. Yet another debacle from this studio.

Sony disputes the amount of the potential loss, insisting that revenue streams from merchandising and such attractions as a new Ghostbusters exhibit at Madame Tussauds and a theme park ride in Dubai will help defray any deficit. The studio also notes that the number of people renting the 1984 film has soared over the summer.

"This loss calculation is way off," says the Sony rep. "With multiple revenue streams, including consumer products, gaming, location-based entertainment, continued international rollout, and huge third-party promotional partnerships that mitigated costs, the bottom line, even before co-financing, is not remotely close to that number."

Will probably never get a sequel though... 

Good cause from the impressions that my friends gave me... It was stupid
