I'm with Travis, it makes no sense that movies like this get $150MM budgets. With less money, I think filmmakers get to be more innovative and tend to focus more on little moments (and that's not to say that huge budgeted films don't do that to, but I love the smaller budgeted movies that end up...

Depends :) From BoxOfficeMojo: FRIDAY AM UPDATE: Sony's Ghostbusters reboot brought in an estimated $3.4 million from Thursday night previews. Green Lantern also kicked off its Thursday with $3.4 million before opening with $53.1 million, X-Men: First Class started with $3.37 million on...

Amen. If this film fails now, it will be because it just didn't work (it's on track for a good opening, but I want to see how it does over the next few weeks - an indicator of how those who decided to see it felt about it)

If you read those then you know they were in response to the very real, vile online campaign of misogynistic bile levied against the production when it was announced the cast would be female (and importantly, before the trailer). I've read interviews where Feig states that those people were...

I must have missed that ad campaign- where exactly did this play out?

But how do you know that? Was that announced somewhere, leaked (possibly)? I would have thought with Paul Feig as the director, the cast ending up being largely female was organic based on the films he made, but I also admit that it being mandated could have been just another of Sony's...

Hey Will - let me just state that I totally get where you are coming from. When I see the trailer (the first especially) it doesn't scream hilarious. I know that trailers for Paul Feig movies don't easily convey how funny the movie will actually be (trailers for Spy did little for me, but I...

Again - exceptions don't make the rule. And all the examples quoted - some of them great ones (Aliens is my all-time favourite movie) - should help prove that when a good movie has a female protagonist, great things can come of it. We just need the movie system, with studios majority run by...

Is that what's happening...every movie? Incredible that a few rare examples of Hollywood showing a fairer representation of the audience is somehow "leftist social engineering."

I assume you are using SJW as a pejorative (social justice warrior). As a proud warrior of social justice (and by that I mean everyone getting a fair shake - surely that would make all reasonable people "SJW's"), I clearly make the distinction between those who attack this film for having a...

What exactly is getting desperate? This isn't connected with Sony. This is a Buzzfeed article giving funny advice on how to counter the vile, brutally sexist online storm aimed at this movie (not the folk out there who aren't interested in seeing it because they don't think it looks good). I...

It isn't "politically correct" to make a film with a female cast - it's good business and about bloody time. And your sexist post aside, there are plenty of very, very funny women out there, and likely many more that we don't get to see because women don't get the same chances/opportunities as...

No worries, Greg. I understand (and should have caught the movie reference as its a great movie) but I appreciate the edit. And that's a very English phrase you changed it with (it's something my mum would say a lot). Anyway...cheers!

Greg, if I may ask, can we avoid using the 'R' word. Thanks.

Jesus. Tough crowd. I thought it looked okay. I'm a fan of the work of most involved and while the trailer didn't bowl me over, I have high hopes for it.
