The cast was fine I wouldn't have minded seeing them continue but with a better script. But Ghostbusters as a reboot was always an iffy proposition since it's such an old property, it'll likely be moth balled forever now. 

Kinda funny that $46 million as an opening isn't good enough anymore either, but you can't expect a 30+ year old franchise to come back, you need to be able to build an audience first. 

$46 million is actually a pretty good opening but not for a movie that had a $142 million dollar production budget.  I'm thinking that Sony will sell off Sony Pictures/Columbia eventually since the only successful franchise they have right now is Bond and they don't completely own that.  The most likely buyer is Fox since they recently tried but failed to buy Warner Brothers.

Ironically I think Sony's best chance at staying relevant in the movie business might be Nintendo, lol. If they could land a deal with Nintendo to get IP like Mario, Smash, Zelda, and Pokemon for movie deals, they would be a huge get for them. 

I don't really understand why movies need such a bloated budget anyway, make a film for $110 million instead, it's still a big enough budget. 

Somewhere between the PAID FOR critics score and FANBOY user score is where the true score of a movie sits. Here I am inclined to believe the user score.

This is a fairly quiet year for Sony, so expect them to have forked out a lot of their marketing budget on the reviews.

They also have no Oscar bait film this year either so no other movie is going to get the level of marketing Girlbusters got.

There are several people on this site who have seen it. No one's saying its an Oscar movie, but 2.3 ... if this is 2.3 then Indepedence Day is a 0.5, Tarzan is a 1.5, WarCraft is a 1.5, Ninja Turtles is a 2.3 too. Basically you can say 90% of the movies this summer are under a 3/10. And Adam Sandler's Pixels, which is basically Ghostbusters With Game Characters should be a 0.5 too. Yet Independence Day has a user score of 4.7 ... which is bullshit by comparison. This is a better movie.

Even the IMDB score is now way up and the Cinema Score of people who actually *watched* the movie (what a concept) ranged from an A to a B-. 

I think people who haven't seen the movie just need to stop commenting period, I hated the Star Wars prequels, but at least I watched them first to come to an informed opinion. 

Can't see that happening the most likely canditate for Nintendo to let their IP's being used in movies would be Disney.  Fox buying Sony Pictures/Columbia is much more likely, they already own part of Sony's most successful franchise since they own the home video rights to the Bond movies.

I don't think Nintendo will do a deal with Disney. It would be problematic because Nintendo has already sold their theme park rights to Universal. 

Which was the right move, because Universal is giving Nintendo tons of exposure/space, the Nintendo attraction at Universal Studios Japan is apparently going to be even bigger than the Harry Potter one and feature multiple Nintendo IP, I doubt Disney could have matched that. 

Nope the movie just isn't that good but there are very few people that are completly honest about it in their reviews.  I'm guessing most people have to watch it numerous times before they realize how bad it really is. 

Have you even seen it once?

That really doesn't mean anything a lot of the IP's in Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park aren't owned by Disney either.  The same thing applies to the Universal theme parks since they have attractions that are based on IP's the don't own (Harry Potter, The Simpsons, Spiderman etc.).
