  • Though there is much debate from fans over whether #ghostbustersfrozenempire is any good, there is no debate that based on ticket sales and properly adjusted #boxoffice #frozenempire had the worst opening weekend in franchise history...even lower than the truly abysmal #ghostbusters2016 ...also #dunepart2 #duneparttwo despite what some may be claiming has also not yet broken even though it seems to be on it's way to do it #boxofficebreakdown

      Everyone hated 2016 personally haven’t seen it still sold more tickets than afterlife and will sell more tickets than frozen empire and that movie actually lost money let that sink in .
      It opened ok though I actually thought it would open to 40m . This looks like it will probably gross around the same as afterlife domestically . Globally the ghostbusters movie never do that well .

    I went and saw Ghostbusters Frozen Empire this weekend...and it was okay. There was some entertaining moments but it felt like it was juggling way too many characters for the story and there were some scenes that felt out of place and not connected to the story as a whole. Aside from that I at least enjoyed my time watching it

    I still haven't seen afterlife. So I'll probably not watch frozen empire. Not every movie needs a sequel. And after the second, this was already demonstrated, no need to try again. But Hollywood unfortunately can't do anything new so here we are

  • @sonoftheredfox
    @sonoftheredfox Před 4 měsíci +2

    The only reason I acknowledged this movie was because one of my favorite Japanese groups, Atarashii Gakko, got a sweet PR deal to help with marketing on the movie, and it got them a lot of needed exposure here in the US and has helped to increase their stock in the Japanese market. The trailer just wasn't convincing. I like Paul Rudd usually, but having that dude from The Eternals, who I just call the Tide Commercial guy showed me that Sony just didn't care.

    Not surprised and with Godzilla x Kong coming up next week (which will suck up a lot of the international box office). Its not looking well for Ghostbusters.
    Dune is looking like it will finish in the 650-690 milion range. It's slown down a lot and I don't see it getting to 700 milion.

    Love it or ‘meh’ it, Afterlife was a nice little tie up to end the franchise. Other than nostalgia there was no need to go further. Unfortunately, that’s all some people want. And like all Hollywood corporations, they had to push out another one. I may eventually watch FE, but I’m not going out my way to see it. Trailer just didn’t give me a “I got to see this, now” vibe.

    If I had the wright to do a ghostbusters movie
    We had a lot of time to think about this problem and if the original character would too interact with the new ones and finally have a different storyline no kids or momma would be involved so sorry kid but ghostbusters was never really made for kitty so I really think that would have been a good idea to have our beloved charters doing battle with the badass and on final battle there cross that final stream together only this time they are killed saving New York from a demise and having the same kind of ending with New York having funerals service talking about the history of the people started a small group hero who die protecting them sadly this would be a real proper send off and then on a bonus video that is we’re we learn that the new one will protect the world from the same fate of the the ghostbusters it would have heart but not the same way of failure I should write a letter to the director

    I'm actually very surprised Dune 2 is doing so well ln the States. it's not a generic Marvel movie, a woke Disney remake, a BLM statement like the Women King or a Color Purple (no one saw those lectures overseas) or a Beyoncé/Swifties concert but hard old school SF for the grown ups so pleasantly surprised. Non theme park movies will always have to be make their money overseas (and viceversa (with some notable exceptions of course).
