Franchise vets Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, and Annie Potts are back as well.There’s been a fervent response to Ghostbusters: Afterlife from local press out of recent screenings, and Sony is betting that the feature, which is also produced by original Ghostbusters filmmaker Ivan Reitman, will be a holiday sleeper. If the pic comes up short this weekend for some reason, let’s see where it stands by the end of Black Friday weekend.Sony is conservatively projecting $27M-$28M for the U.S./Canadian weekend; industry rivals are seeing $30M-$35M from 4,300 theaters. Tack on an overseas launch in UK, Germany, Italy, Latin America (including Brazil and Mexico), Benelux, Sweden, and Denmark, and the global start for the movie could reach $45M. As the adage goes, Ghostbusters is a domestic property, not overseas. Stateside previews start at 4 p.m. Thursday at 3,450 theaters. Sony will have all the Imax and PDFs in the pic’s opening U.S./Canada suite.Currently, Ghostbusters: Afterlife is 66% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes from 89 reviews. That’s better than the 59% Rotten of 1989’s Ghostbusters II and under the RT scores for the Paul Feig 2016 reboot (74% certified fresh) and of course, the 1984 original, which stands at 97% certified fresh. Feig’s version starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones opened to $46M domestic off a $144M production cost before P&A and did a 2.79x multiple from a B+ CinemaScore for $128.35M domestic and $229.1M worldwide. This new version scripted by Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan stars Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Carrie Coon, Logan Kim, and Paul Rudd, and it cost a reported $75M before P&A.<a href="https://deadline.com/2021/11/ghostbusters-afterlife-box-office-preview-will-smith-king-richard-1234876354/" target="_blank">Full Article</a>------ Post added on [DATETIME="UT"]1637201201[/DATETIME]</blockquote>
