But does this mean that director Paul Feig and his lady Ghostbuster will be back? But all eyes were on Paul Feig’s “Ghostbusters”, which resurrects the 1984 original with a cast of Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon. “Thor’s” Chris Hemsworth delivers a comedic turn as a hunky, dimwitted secretary.
Ghostbusters makes its long-awaited return, rebooted with a cast of hilarious new characters. The trailer has notched up 951,000 “dislikes” from users to date. Sometimes the jokes drag on or are unnecessary but because they’re delivered by such pros, you can forgive them a little. The second-place finish allowed multiple outlets to trot out their “Ghostbusters Gets Slimed” headlines, and in all fairness, a movie with this much publicity – paid and free – probably should’ve topped the chart. So with that out of the way, maybe we can venture into more unknown territory and take on a story that we haven’t seen yet.
Plus, the ‘B+’ CinemaScore it received from moviegoers isn’t the type of score that generates exceptional word-of-mouth, giving it the legs it needs. While Ghostbusters is expecting to do a solid chunk of business overseas, the film won’t see release in many territories for a couple of weeks.
Bruer said that a China release is “still a work in progress” and that there is “still a chance”. “Ghostbusters”, $46 million ($19.1 million international). 3.
Add in the film’s foreign take and Secret Lives has notched up nearly $254 million so far. “Finding Dory” was directed by Andrew Stanton and Angus MacLane. The Finding Nemo sequel has now officially surpassed Shrek 2 as the highest-grossing animated feature at the all time domestic box office. The sequel’s total global box office now sits at $721.8 million.
