Sony Executive Comments on Likelihood of Ghostbusters Sequel
With a $46 million domestic opening weekend, Ghostbusters (review) is both the highest-grossing Paul Feig film and the highest-grossing live action comedy in over a year, but when put into the context of its $144 million budget, it’s hard to consider the film all that much of a success. Is the new franchise already dead in the water?
As reported by The Wrap, Sony insists they have no fears about the franchise’s future.
“The Ghostbusters world is alive and well,” said Rory Bruer, president of worldwide distribution at the studio. “I expect Ghostbusters to become an important brand and franchise.”
“While nothing has been officially announced yet, there’s no doubt in my mind it will happen,” he added.
Will Paul Feig return for Ghostbusters 2? Will it actually even happen? Only time will tell.
