Movie looks like shit, which is a bummer because I like Kate McKinnon a lot. Granted I can't stand fat lady Adam Sandler so I'll pass on watching her and shitty writers take a shit on Ghostbusters.

I don't understand how people can like McCarthy at all. I've watched a couple movies with her that I thought were actually going to be funny and I have to say, I had more fun at my grandmother's funeral. Won't watch anything with that unfunny wannabe.

Cant be any worse then the POS they call Independence Day: Resurgence. What a fucking horrible movie. Nostalgia couldn't even save it.

I'll wait until it's on DVD. I don't understand the need for a second one.

Not even sure bringing Will Smith back could save a 3rd movie. I fell asleep 4 times during the sequel.

Literally all the good parts were in the previews. And the CGI aliens made me feel like I was playing Halo.

This movie has bombed spectacularly fucking hard at the box office and I can't help but point and laugh.

I didn't think the first one was all that good.

It didn't really bomb, yet. It opened to $46M and will probably have decent legs at the box-office just like every other Feig and McCarthy film. What will hurt it is it though is being denied a release in China, the second biggest box-office country in the world.

I think China doesn't allow ghost movies.

Anyway, did you guys see the racist stuff on Twitter with Leslie Jones?

Yeah that's true about ghosts in China but the real reason is China said there people have no interest in this film anyway lol.

That twitter stuff is terrible, but I think she didn't help her cause by replying to it. Those idiots spouting racism can lose their jobs over this and rightfully so, I hope they do.

China has a thing about the occult, time travel, and religion. Banned this, the original Star Wars, Back to the Future, Noah, etc.

Now, if only they had a similar stance on fictional populations living on islands that don't exist yet we'd be getting somewhere.

When you spent 144 Million and made 46 Million. You utterly and completely fucking failed.

They also like their films to be 100% white.

The movie got Milo Yiannopoulos banned from Twitter. Worth it.
