With no expectations, I walked in to a movie theater and walked out generally entertained. I had fun up to the third act where it just became a way to sell 3D movies to the world. It just turned a bad corner where the only point was the jam as much CG it could handle. There was so much fun to be had with this film. The scenes I felt I would be disappointed in, I turned around a huge belly laugh and the ones I was hopeful for, I was just whelmed.

There seems to be a weird clash of fans that believe that the more this movie is loved the more copies of the originals will erase from the DVD's, VHS's and Digital downloads from the hearts and minds of film fans. I don't see this as a proper sequel, nor reboot or remaking of the original films. Even though we have cameos. Some that were spot on perfect, others that were a few stinkers, I see this as a film adaptation of the cartoon The Real Ghostbusters. Hell, maybe more of a film adaptation of Slimer and The Real Ghostbusters.

I feel like if it spawns a sequel, they'll need to add a few men in the team. Allow it to grow and use more villains from the cartoon. Sony should make an announcement and tell the world "We were just kidding guys, this is a adaptation of the cartoon, not the movie". The boogieman should be the villain of the sequel. SPOILERS!!! Kristen Wiig's character tells a creepy story of why she believes in ghosts, saying she had a mean old lady neighbor who lived across the street and died. For thirty days every night would appear at the foot of her bed and would just stare at her while she tried to sleep. No one ever believed her. This story freaked me out a little and I think it deserves a look into it.

Something I hated about the film was the third act where it just got silly and the villain became ever more lamer. I couldn't wait for the threat to be over and the focus back on the team. The relationship between the Ghostbusters was the best parts of the movie. Kate McKinnon was the best part of the movie as was Leslie Jones. You'll enjoy yourself.

Here is what Brad Brevet from Rottom Tomatoes had to say about the Weekend Preview.

Can 'Ghostbusters' Scare Up a $50M Opening?

by Brad Brevet

July 14, 2016

This weekend Sony's Ghostbusters hits theaters amid a flurry of headlines such as being named the film with the most disliked movie trailer in YouTube history to Sony chief Tom Rothman responding to the negative online response by telling The Hollywood Reporter, "It's the greatest thing that ever happened. Are you kidding me? We're in the national debate, thank you. Can we please get some more haters to say stupid things?" As a result, awareness certainly seems high, but how that awareness translates to box office is the big question. There's always the old saying, "There's no such thing as bad press"... right?

Back in 2015 online furor called Mad Max: Fury Road "feminist drivel filth". Ultimately the uproar didn't have a noticeable impact on Fury Road's box office performance as it opened with $45 million, grossed over $150 million domestically and over $375 million worldwide on a $150 million budget. The comparison may end up eerily similar for Ghostbusters given the film's $144 million budget and its expected opening weekend.

In attempting to forecast that opening weekend, sorting the signal from the noise is a near impossibility. One might be tempted to put stock in Ghostbusters' more than 2.9 million Facebook fans. Trouble is, that page wasn't focused on the reboot until around May 2015 and even as of November 2015 it still featured the cast of the originalGhostbusters film in its "About" section at a time when it had already amassed nearly 2.4 million fans.

A study of IMDb.com traffic data is also tough to go by over the past few days. The results could very easily be skewed as a result of headlines focused on alleged ballot-stuffing suggesting a small group of IMDb users were attempting to intentionally lower the film's user score. For some perspective, the film's IMDb user rating currently stands at 4.1/10 with over 14,000 votes, 50% of which score the film 1/10. Only one-third of the film's grades have come from outside the United States and so far the only territory that has released the film is the UK, and that was on July 11.

Information that can be considered a little more closely includes the 74% rating on RottenTomatoes forGhostbusters, which has held relatively steady over the past few days. Also, Fandango.com reports the film is the online ticket retailer's top pre-selling live-action comedy of the year so far. The film is outselling comparable titles including Central Intelligence and Ride Along 2, both of which opened over $35 million, and is looking to become director Paul Feig and star Melissa McCarthy's top preseller on Fandango, suggesting an opening above 2013's The Heat ($39.1m).

In terms of a prediction, Sony is going conservative, anticipating a $38-40 million opening for the film. Given the pre-sale information alone, that forecast looks like a bare minimum as an opening closer to $45-50 million seems like a reasonable opening weekend range. While that would give the film the largest opening for a live action comedy this year, topping Central Intelligence's $35.5 million opening last month, the size of the budget and the fact this is being looked at as a franchise starter means it's going to want a multiplier similar to the 4.78 average multiplier Feig's last three films have delivered.

We'll also be keeping a close eye on the film's international performance, especially since it was just revealed it will not be released in China, partly as a result of China's official censorship guidelines prohibiting movies that "promote cults or superstition". However, the film has already hit theaters in the UK and will also be released in Australia, Brazil and a few smaller territories this weekend. It will expand its international footprint over the weeks to come.

Targeting a first place finish once again, Illumination and Universal's The Secret Life of Pets is likely to drop around 46-48% for a second weekend around $54 million. Pets is playing somewhat similarly to Inside Out, which dropped 42% in its second weekend, but given the massive, $104.3 million opening for Pets, a bit of a larger drop than Inside Out experienced is to be expected.

The weekend's other new wide release is Broad Green's The Infiltrator, which opened on Wednesday in 1,600 theaters and brought in $773,761. Reviews have been somewhat mixed with the film currently hovering just above that rotten/fresh line with a 62% rating on RottenTomatoes as a weekend around $4 million seems like a safe expectation.

In limited release a couple markets will get a double dose of Kristen Stewart this weekend with the limited release of Woody Allen's latest film, Cafe Society, into five theaters and A24 releasing Drake Doremus'sEquals into two theaters following the film's DirecTV debut.

Finally, the political climate heats up in theaters as well as on the campaign trailer with Quality Flix releasingDinesh D'Souza's Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party into three theaters this weekend followed by a nationwide expansion into 1,200+ theaters next weekend, just after the Republican National Convention has wrapped up.

This weekend's forecast is directly below. This post will be updated on Friday morning with Thursday night preview results followed by Friday estimates on Saturday morning, and a complete weekend recap on Sunday morning.
