After backlash surrounding the Ghostbusters Ultimate Collection not including Paul Feig's 2016 reboot, Sony has added a digitally downloadable version to the collection.
The upcoming Ghostbusters Ultimate Collection will now include the 2016 Ghostbusters after previously being excluded, following criticism from director Paul Feig. Feig, having directed comedies such as Spy and Bridesmaids, helmed the 2016 female-led reboot of the original Ghostbusters from 1984. The franchise was later rebooted a second time with Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which was released earlier this year.
Ghostbusters follows four women who start a ghosthunting business in New York, ultimately having to save the city in the process. The film became notorious for receiving internet backlash before its release due to its female leads, leading to review bombing and death threats sent to the cast. The film stands as an example of misogyny infecting pop culture, for the movie was already deemed a failure before it could come out.
At the time of release, Ghostbusters grossed $229 million at the box office but was considered a loss by the studio due to the high budget and cost of marketing. Instead of a sequel, this led to the greenlight of Ghostbusters: Afterlife which would ultimately receive weaker reviews and make less money than 2016's Ghostbusters. Both films featured short appearances from stars of the original Ghostbusters, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson.
Both Ghostbusters 2016 and Ghostbusters: Afterlife share the distinction of trying to recapture the glory days of an old film in an ongoing parade of nostalgia-fueled reboots that make up a fair percentage of the mainstream movies of today. Except, Ghostbusters was the only one of the two met with controversy, stemming from misogyny and hatred that's allowed to go unanswered in the anonymity of the internet.
