Franchise is probably dead (in movie form, maybe you'll get something small like a cartoon that'll mostly be watched by 30-year-old guys before get canned after season 2).
The movie isn't *that* bad, but it needed to be considerably better than Ghostbusters II to overcome the casting controversy and the stupidity (from all sides) related to that and it wasn't. It was only about Ghostbusters II tier.
If it's on TV sometime in the future or Netflix, I'll probably watch it again. It's better than Transformers, TMNT, GI Joe, or similar types of franchise properties.
But ah well. I enjoy Ghostbusters a lot but its very hard to make a sequel to the first film, it was just the right time and right mix of everything. Before people give this crew a hard time, you should remember that the same cast/crew/writers of the first film also fell way short with Ghostbusters II.
