Kreizman, a former book editor and avid reader who writes frequently about books, has contributed to The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, Vanity Fair, Esquire, and more. [28][29][30] Following Ramis's death in February 2014, Reitman left the director role to focus on smaller projects, but remained a producer to help Columbia and Sony find a new director for the film. Most of the Chinese audience didn't see the first and second movies, so they don't think there's much market for it here.

It was theatrically released on July 11, 2016, in the United Kingdom and on July 15, 2016, in the United States. What a satisfying sublimation of that anger.

It's only on later reflection, as our future President-elect called his opponent a "nasty woman" and bragged that he'd committed sexual assault to talk show host Billy Bush, that a silly movie like Ghostbusters would feel revolutionary.

The early part of 2016 began with Kate McKinnon gleefully mugging in her ghostbusting suit in the first trailer for Paul Feig's all-female reboot of the classic action comedy; 2016 ended with her wearing a white pantsuit on Saturday Night Live while sitting at a piano and solemnly singing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." Anyone who's seen a "me at the beginning of 2016 vs. me at the end of 2016" meme knows that 2016 was extra fucked up, and McKinnon's juxtaposition may be the most poignant. We got to see a lady version of Slimer! [106] The film was not released in the Chinese market, with a Chinese executive reporting that China Film Group Corporation believed it was "not really that attractive to Chinese audiences.
