Ghostbusters Remake Flops - Sequels CANCELED, Investors In Debt

[Danth]

Ghostbusters could work fine with an all woman cast, an all male cast, a mixed gender cast, or whatever. It doesn't matter because the actors mostly run around in overalls and sex isn't relevant to the plot.

New movie "fails" largely because of poor budgeting. If it had been made with the (inflation adjusted) budget that the original one was made under, it'd be turning a nice profit right now.

Completely unrelated to the gender thing, it's quite possibly the most UNfunny movie I've ever seen.

I think it did as well as could be expected given the bad concept. Imagine a remake of Charlie's Angels with all guys - think that would be a big money maker?

Charlies Angels with all guys is just another law enforcement show/movie.

Movie looked bad from the first trailer I saw. I didn't waste my money on it.

Reboots don't always flop but a majority do because big egos get the better of people.

Hurr, durr, the movie did not fail because of the casting (the featured gimmick and only real premise of the movie) it failed cuz it was bad.

Of course a movie with an all female lead cast could be good, if the all female casting was coincidental or necessary. Thing is: it wasn't. No affirmative action film is ever going to be as good as a film that bends to artistic constraints first instead.

The movie failed because it was nothing more than an attempt to join the feedback loop of one of the creepier "social activist" "movements" of our day to generate what the illuminati at the top of Sony felt were guaranteed profits. In a sense attempting to use DARPA brainwashing for their movie's marketing campaign.

I wouldn't call it intense since it's an abject failure and kinda non-issue, but not feeling strongly about disgusting propaganda marketed to kids kinda smacks of apathy.
