>In fact, in a recent interview with the chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment, Tom Rothman, THR learned that not only has the hate Ghostbusters received been ineffective in derailing the film’s popularity, but just the opposite. When asked his opinion about the effect of negative online publicity from those opposed to the reboot, Rothman had this to say:
>It”’s the greatest thing that ever happened. Are you kidding me? We’re in the national debate, thank you. Can we please get some more haters to say stupid things?”
This will do decently the first weekend and drop like a rock after that. The BvS effect.
Evan Gray
>Given Rothman’s confidence for the film despite the backlash, the Sony exec was then asked what Ghostbusters would have to make (in terms of box office revenue) for the film to be a hit. His response?
>“Oh, I don’t know. I don’t comment about that.”

You deserve to be bothered.

>Greatest Thing That Ever Happened’
Uh, I would say the greatest thing that ever happened was probably the invention of the wheel. I mean, that started civilisation on a very important track. Is Tom Rothman seriously saying this new Ghostbusters can compete with the invention of the wheel?

It's true. Sony itself is fanning the flames- claiming sexism. It's like free publicity. Even if a person who ordinarily wouldn't go see a movie like this, hears about the controversy surrounding this movie, they might choose to go see it out of curiosity. No matter how many people point out the flaws in this movie, while avoiding the topic of an all female cast, Sonys response is always "sexism". Sony is basically like the anons who can't think of a rebuttal or any counterpoints to a logical argument and can only reply with "sup reddit". >I can't refute his argument so I'll just false label this guy as a sexist.
This vid may be long and boring but the guy has some good points and proof. And there are lots of people pointing out the same thing.
You must have missed the meeting where the world unaminously agreed that any criticism of a woman equals to utter misogyny and that the egos of western women are more important than the actual oppression of women in the Middle East.
Gabriel Hughes
how much would it cost to do this.
i mean i could probably do it for less then 3 thousand, not including lawyers fees for the gag order on it.. but just low balling it really.
same with stuff like /boxxy/ it's not impossible to control online consensus.
Harlem Shake was proof of that.

Tom Rothman, the guy who passed on making Transformers, passed up Alien 5 because he liked AvP's script, had Kingdom of Heaven butchered, didn't hire a director for X-Men 3 until like a week before shooting, and made Die Hard PG-13.

He'd be right if they released the thing last month, when the topic was all anyone could talk about. People have already forgotten it at this point and there's really nothing left to discuss. Like, they released a godawful theme song, and people were just like "yep that's bad" and went back to Brexit and Trump.

Just watched that interview. You can tell Bill hated the film and you can tell he hates having to shill for it.
"When you see the film you'll delight in the film... it sorta rumbles along in the beginning... oh God how are they going to pull this thing off..." "We were cheering for them (the girls) like we were at a sporting event.."
You could cut the sarcasm and disdain with a knife.

Derailing the movie? That's not the point. And it never was. How can a narrative so delusional be spewed from an executive and he still keep his job? The hate for this flick won't manifest itself until it's released and sinks.
If anything all the hate is helping put asses in seats. Which is why they're pushing this trash.

I truly believe this "hate campaign" isn't mysogynistic and is legitimately placed against a cash grab sexist film (though there are outliers, to be sure). My concern is that Sony and comp. have demonized the haters so much that the top critics of RT will fear being labeled as a sexist and will say, "a delightful, fun summer romp" etc
Isaac Edwards
You know what's fascinating to me?
So far the only legitimately funny things in the trailer have belonged almost solely to Leslie "the gorilla" Jones. Barring the "Race thing Lady thing" joke she's had some of the funnier moments pretty much solely due to her reacting to shit.

Kevin Reyes

Samuel Young
>every woman on earth... will watch it
This right here is the biggest flaw in this films logic, women aren't going to see it.
The only draws they have for women is Chris Hemsworth (not a bad one, admittedly) and women protagonists (which actual women don't care about anyway).
It's theme, humour and genre are all things that women aren't interested in, and the entire publicity campaign of this movie has been actively trying to push away any of the people who DO like those things.

of course it's free publicity if it doesn't make the money it 'thinks' it's going to make, then the media is going to be all over it claiming misogyny/manchidren/patriarchy/etc.. they're going to completely ignore the bad story/cgi/bad acting/etc.. they are going to shame the public into seeing it/buying it
it's going to be on talk shows on how hollywood needs to be more diverse, more accepting of women/minorities/etc..
this was an accidental win for sony
about the only way for sony and this 'ghostbusters' to fail is to put out the facts (like midnight's edge/avgn did in explaining ghostbusters and what happened).
making movies as agendas will be a thing movies will no longer be about simple entertainment.
