Jason Reitman’s ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ promised to be a movie for the fans of the 1984 original, a love letter to what came before it and continue the mythology in the original’s universe, and on its release date in November, it did just that, pleasing Ghostbusters fans worldwide, myself included. It was a success, not only for the fans, but for Sony Pictures and its finance who disappointed with Paul Fieg’s 2016 reboot that didn’t resonate with most fans, along with losing millions of dollars due to the film performing poorly at the box office in consideration of the budget and additional costs. Today, we’ll be looking at and going over why ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ is a success for the fans and for Sony, and why the 2016 reboot was a failure on a massive scale.

Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below on 2016’s failure and ‘Afterlife’s’ success, and if you think we’ll see a sequel or spinoff in a new Ghostbusters cinematic universe.
