Now that the dust has settled and the reviews have been solidified, are you guys going to admit you were just being sexist against this film?
Why is this board filled with people so afraid of strong, funny, independent women taking roles of men and making them better? Are you afraid they'll do a better job than men? Because in this case, they did.
Also: ITT, other films that women did better in than men.
Wonder what's behind that top critics button OP. Find something else to shitpost about.
Caleb Campbell
Rotten tomatoes is a pretty shitty website. Just always go with audience score and only look at Armond Whites critique
Jason Young
Those "top critics" are just "nostalgic" and can't handle the witty humor of the cast. They want that dry 80's sexist humor.
TOO BAD! Times are changing and you guys should really be on the right side of history on this one.
Ian Wood
To bad your mentality didn't make this movie any money
Jaxson Evans
>Armond White truly the only known, confirmed, partician
Tyler Stewart
>it has a higher rating than Batman vs Superman >it has a higher rating than man of steel
Grayson Wright
The movie surpassed its $144 million just recently, so try again sexist!
Mason Mitchell
>making back its budget >profit you dont really understand bud
Carter Young
>going over budget >not profit
Okay sweet heart, I know math is hard so I'll spell it out for you:
If you have a budget of 4 dollars, and you make 6, that means you have a profit of 2 dollars. If you just made 4 dollars, you'd have made back you budget.

>57% audience score
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Feig is going to have a hard time in movie jail. Mel Gibson is going to eat him alive.
Hudson Cox
Way to go Sister! Like you I also love this movie. Speaking as a proud 16 year old lesbian this film represents everything in my life, my struggle. I hate the fact that there even exists an old version of this landmark piece of art with disgusting misogynistic and racist men in it. Revolting! I came out to my parents right after seeing Ghostbusters, it made that much of an impression on my sexuality. Thank you to all the females involved in making the best movie of all time. I also saw it over 20 times at the cinema and will buy at least 5 copies of it on DVD, Blu Ray and UHD - which I understand will be in its original extended format. Peace. Patty Power to the Max!

Unfortunately marketing costs exist. One of the biggest summer blockbuster flops this year was Tarzan. which made 354 million on a 180 million budget and Star Trek Beyond, which made 285 million on a 180 million budget. Both of these giant flops made more money than Ghostbusters.
Benjamin Rogers
>lower audience score than both of them
How RTfags will ever recover?
Liam Murphy
It needs 500 million to break even after marketing costs. Try again.
Colton Long
i cant wait until Halloween when all the girls will be ghostbusters , like their summer heroes
just kidding , prepare yourself for harley quinn in every shape size and race of female
Isaiah Collins
i hate how recently RT scores are the measurement of success for movies now >Ghostbusters: Fresh, but flopped embarrassingly at the BO, still called a success >Suicide Squad: EVERYONE hated it, 3 weeks #1, already crossed 600 mil worldwide without China, everyone and their mother calling it a flop
Jaxon Lee
>are you guys going to admit you were just being sexist against this film?
No. Will the Sony market team admit they were sexist against men?
Kayden Jones
The only guy in the thread that gets it.
Eli Jenkins
And it made a fraction of what they did
Christopher Collins
Speak for yourself, i'm looking forward to the Katanas and Enchantresses.
Sebastian Bailey
You have to look at it in context. WB expected SS to make up the shortfall from BvS and it didn't even after they spent loads of money reshooting and hiring trailer houses to create an edit.
Lucas Miller
This isn't even good trolling yet these fags to the bait
Jose Parker
shit movie senpai
Mason Jackson
>WB expected SS to make up the shortfall from BvS
There is no way WB expected SS to make more than BvS.
Asher Martin
You're not being funny.
Dominic Murphy
>already crossed 600 mil worldwide without China
If you discount China Suicide Squad has made more in foreign markets than the mega hit GoTG even though Guardians opened in 56 foreign countries but SS only opened in 33
Isaiah Hernandez
Nah. SS was their GotG. BvS was their Avengers. They were expecting SS to make between 700 to 800 million. So yeah, it did fall short, but not by as much as you assume.
Isaac Gonzalez
>They were expecting SS to make between 700 to 800 million
And it's going to do that. It's at 675 mil right now and it's still to open in Japan which will give it 20mil at least
Jordan White
>73% >Filled with biased reviews
Lincoln Howard
What does that even mean?
Kayden Reyes
...
Aiden Lee
>Facts are damage control
Nicholas Butler
Even if that were true (and you're a fucking moron for thinking it is), Sony sure as fuck didn't expect to make a new movie of a huge property like Ghostbusters and lose close to 150 million dollars in the process. The first Ghostbusters movie in over 25 years should have brought in close to a billion dollars easily, and it would have had it been made semi-competently.
Elijah Johnson
>top critic >can't string together a comprehensible sentence
Blake Barnes
It's not the movie, it's the feminist journalists being absolute shit heads about the whole affair. There's like what, 50 or so articles about a youtube trailer being downvoted into oblivion because that's all people can do to express their voice as opposed to those who can half-ass their comfy polemics from a cushy soap box.
Also, Suicide Squad did better.
Carter Barnes
The way the media attacked James Rolfe made me feel sick.
Ian Adams
Reminder
>144 million dollar budget >100 million dollars in marketing >made 220 million worldwide >cinemas take half the gross >sony only gets back 110 million on their 244 million dollar investment
Ian Martin
But he was a man that stood in the way of progress so he had to be taken down to make way for the New Order. Ghostbusters (2016) is not just a fucking comedy, it's not a "fun" family thing, it's not some popcorn flick, it's not even a movie, it's Social Cleansing Program to make way for a pure and cockless world.
Luis Bell
He wasn't even unreasonable. He grew up on 80s media and has a giant hard on for it. The movie itself was any other kind of hollywood schlock but with added politicism so it can't be so easily disregarded. Just trash entertainment with a feminist angle bloggers can get behind in a cushy momentum of self-righteous zealotry. And after they write that article it's time for a 'deserved' trip to the local tapa's bar with a 5 star rating on yelp and 10 bucks for each dish. Wooooo.
I'm not usually one for conspiracies but I really do think Critics threw Suicide Squad under the bus because of the Ghostbusters ass pain
Joshua Martin
Do these cretins not understand that other human beings have eyes and a (mostly) functioning brain too? Even my mom said this movie looked like shit and she's as normie as it gets.
Tyler Hall
Eh, Suicide Squad wasn't good imo ( 6/10 ), but I definitely agree the reviews were a little questionable for Ghostbusters. Suicide Squad is just a comic book movie, but Ghostbusters tapped into real world problems like equality. So the reviews come off way more personal than usual.
Tyler Collins
>Armond White
Kino critic and made Ebert salty

Easton Foster
>0:04 that cartoon CGI THE FUCK? THIS is actually a part of the film?
Colton Morales
What SS was at least a 3/5 while ghost busters was a 1/5. I am a generous grader through.
Christopher Sullivan
Oh I'm not saying Suicide Squad was a great movie but I feel critics were harsher on it than what was deserved. They see Enchantress dressed in almost nothing and Harley in booty shorts and they try tried to sabotage it because of Ghostbusters flop
