All that matters is it passed ATC (and GB2?) in domestic which I suppose is a good metric for comparison sake despite what's going on in the world. Got high hopes seeing totals come in for Japan's run this month.

-More Hostess Brands
-Coke Brands
-A commercial for Ghostbusters cereal
-A commercial for the marshmallows
-A round the clock theme song campaign on the radio
-More involvement during last years holiday season starting before Halloween
-More focus on Ecto-Cooler
I'm happy with what we got but still...I'll always think we could have done better with more advertising even with the date pushbacks.

The ending does not derail the film - I think I got that wrong too. The younger cast all play a role in the finale and the farewell to Egon lands completely.No worries. My first time watching the film was strange too... probably because of all of the spoilers I had seen, how much time I spent connecting what I saw before the film came out and what I saw on screen, and all of the expectations I had for the film. Delaying the film for the pandemic only gave me more time to speculate on what the story would be. I honestly left the theater after that first watch a bit disappointed.
It’s hard for me to reconcile how differently I feel about the film on subsequent watches. I don’t know what to think about that - but I do feel bad for all the critical posts I made over the last couple of months.
Anecdotal, but this seemed to be selling very well based on two trips to my local supermarket this weekend.

Aside from VPN, the only thing I heard about are Canadians crossing the border to the U.S., setting up their Movie Anywhere account here in the States and applying their digital codes, going back home to Canada and then being able to access their digital copies. I'm not sure how true that is though.
I'm in Canada and I think I made an error purchasing the ultimate collection from Amazon.com.
This is very embarrassing but, I'm having trouble getting the digital download to work. I can't seem to find the Movies Anywhere app on my Roku. Then I noticed that this is open to U.S. residents only.
So, what am I supposed to do?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am aware that I can watch the physical copy, but I'd like to have access to the film digitally as well.

I’ve seen so many fans that seem to want and need GBA to “blow ATC” out of the water as if that would validate their feelings on the movie.mrmichaelt wrote: ↑February 5th, 2022, 4:37 pm Reported to surpass ATC's domestic box office total this weekend.

My only gripe about that scene is now the proton pack becomes a weapon. Although they covered the potential dangers of the proton pack falling in the wrong hands with Extreme Ghostbusters.Orange tips are expected on all toy guns. Like Hasbro's legal team told them they had to, most likely. While one could argue the wands look very little like a real guns, they share colors like a gun and could be confused for a gun by someone that doesn't know of the whole "Ghostbusters Thing". Hasbro is doing it cause it is safer. They sure ain't going to risk legal issues on a toy from a 80's property.
(That scene is more likely the reasoning behind the changes to the Hasbro rifle. But that's as far as i'll go on that subject in this topic.)

I hope we get announcements soon about what's next and I hope Ivan and Jason continue with a sequel to Afterlife.
But everything Lord & Miller touches turns to gold, it would be such a missed opportunity not to give them the license and see what they do - either as a spin-off movie or... Netflix limited series?

Like Hasbro's legal team told them they had to, most likely.It's probably the shotgun grip that tipped the scales. Then again, I've been in full Ghostbusters regalia in my dark gray suit and been asked by other costumed convention attendees if I was a cop. Another person in public asked if I was a landscaper. And then one seemingly fully functional adult in a restaurant thought I was actually a Ghostbuster with real functional equipment.

No disrespect to Jason—he's stated that he'd love to see a number of different people interpret the franchise.That's the hope. Probably not the next one. I'd think Jason is doing one more. And then there's still that animated movie from the ghost's POV that no clue if they're still doing.
Personally, I'd be curious to see Ghostbusters through the eye's of Edgar Wright or Taika Waititi.
Yep, and nightmare on elm street dream warriors.
