The final opening figure for Paul Feig’s female spin on Ghostbusters is $46 million, exactly where Sony saw it yesterday.
But as excited as Sony remains about that debut, particularly after weathering online attacks by haters, a majority of executives in town think it’s a lackluster result, particularly for a movie with a steep pricetag. A $50M-$60M start for the new Ghostbusters would have been fantastic, and something this low means a greater dependence on overseas ticket sales.
