Well Trump was in the Ghostbusters II Bobby Brown music video...
Don't think Leslie expected many of these replies....
So she expected a sequel to a movie that lost 70m dollars?

I’ve been reading responses to that thread for about 20 mins. Most people are calling her out and some are getting blocked. If she can’t see why her movie isn’t getting a sequel then she doesn’t deserve to be in the industry.
How it lost $70 million When it made $229 million with a $144 million budget?So she expected a sequel to a movie that lost 70m dollars?

Don't forget the undisclosed seven-figure dance scene with Chris Hemsworth.From what I recall, it had a marketing budget almost equivalent to the budget, and there was rumours of Feig constantly going over budget. $300 million was apparently what it needed to break even.
On top of what others have pointed out, movie theaters do not give 100% of ticket sales to the movie studio. There are deals made in advance, but there comes a time, weeks in, where the studio is only getting like 25%. It can bring in $229M, but that is not all going to them.How it lost $70 million When it made $229 million with a $144 million budget?
I wonder why they are doing this now? Just after a reboot that didn't do well. I'm glad that they are doing it but it would have been a lot smarter to do this instaed of the reboot. Maybe Bill Murray agreed to do this.
As much as I like these films, it's not the 80's any longer. Movies are shot way differently now. You know? Movies that are old tend to have a special place in our hearts, as they are charming, memorable and artistically rewarding to watch, even for newcomers. But many sequels made in the 2000s, 2010s or 2020 when it arrives, just don't do the originals any justice. Modern day versions rarely ever do do well among the most loyal of fans.
The reboot was certainly a critical and financial failure. Had they just been maybe a little more subtle it might have succeeded.
This is not about Ghostbusters 3 but a fan did a great restoration work on The Real Ghostbusters pilot. Here is a video about it:
He found the original film copy and restored it in HD.
Intersting tidbit about the teaser. Same lettering as GB84 from the Columbia archives. Here's hoping for a great mix of practical and digital effects.
Didn't the Ghostbusters remake ignore the original Ghostbusters except for the text at the very beginning of the movie? And the dumb wink-and-nod cameos that were mostly awful?
I'm not sure why Leslie Jones is so mad. She made a Ghostbusters movie. Does she think the new Ghostbusters movie will mean her Ghostbusters movie was never made?
There was an interview with Dan and he said flat out the girls weren’t getting another movie.
I wouldn't give them a second movie, either.
I'm referring to Leslie Jones' tweet which reads thusly:
"So insulting. Like fuck us. We dint count. It’s like something trump would do. (Trump voice)”Gonna redo ghostbusteeeeers, better with men, will be huge. Those women ain’t ghostbusteeeeers” ugh so annoying. Such a dick move. And I don’t give fuck I’m saying something!!"
It’s a shame she brought politics into it. The movie failed. The reboot didn’t work. Movie companies don’t invest in sinking ships unless there is a big, clear, profitable redeeming quality. We’ve seen plenty of franchises change course again and again until profits were seen or they got buried.

The politics were an excuse for the failure, a way to deflect blame. The film isn't bad, it didn't fail, it was just those awful straight white males. #cancelmen and it'll go better next time. See also TLJ.

The movie even had some interesting way the men of the movie were handled. I saw it once and I remember most of the men of them movie portrayed in a bad light.
Wigs Boss: Asshole
Delivery Guy: Couldn’t get the wantons right.
Chris Hemsworth: Idiot.
I’m sure there were more. My brain chooses to not recall much from that movie.
I do think the movie struggled because it couldn't recreate the mania of the original and that Jones is reading a bit too much into it, but it wasn't a terrible movie -- it just couldn't hit those soaring heights of the original and was a bit niche (you have to like Paul Feig's approach to humour). Also, TLJ isn't a good comparison, because it was a commercial success.

What a bitter childish woman.

I wonder if they will call this Ghostbusters 3 or something else? I have a feeling that they might not call it that because it has been a long time since GB2 and they just made that reboot. I hope I'm wrong and it's GB3.
Thing is, an all-female Ghostbusters could easily work. It's just that GB 2016 seemed to make the exact wrong decision every step of the way.
Honestly I don't see how this does work in any other way besides the uber-woke version we got. The original happened before this out of control PC nonsense pervaded ever aspect of the culture, and it wasn't considered oppressive writing to have a group of male college buddies start a business together (plus token black guy.) I don't think it would have exploded like it did with an all female cast back then. Could it even have happened back then? Doubtful.
But how do you just swap out this entire legendary cast for all women and not have it be some woke ass bullshit? The very idea is entirely woke. I mean the franchise already had 2 strong female characters, but rather than write with them in mind, they had to scorch earth this thing and have all females, with a male secretary too because it's 2018 white men!
Shit, weren't people even gently criticizing Breath of the Wild because they though Link should be female this time or the player should at least have a choice? Yup: https://www.themarysue.com/no-female-hero-zelda-breath-of-the-wild/
On that note, I would just simply like the option (and we're talking Mass Effect style, so for anyone who wants to stick to male Link can totally do so). I'm not demanding they include it, it would just make me happy if they did. Just like I'm not demanding they make the durability system less harsh in the next one but it would make me really happy if they did. I'm pro-diversity but I don't demand creators to do what I want. I certainly have things I want to see happen just like a lot of things I would love to see happen and I think simply expressing that desire shouldn't tick off anyone at least from a logical perspective. I mean, if somebody said, "man, I hope Thor is one of the deaths in Avengers Endgame" and I disagreed there's no need for me to get really upset over it. We just have different perspectives of what we'd like to see happen in that movie.
And I'm ok with it too, but just imagine if they do it. Guess who will complain about it being not quite inclusive enough. It might be that trans people are left out. It might be that it doesn't represent females in the way that's demanded. It might be distaste for it defaulting to male. It could be anything, but it'd be a shitstorm.
It has been amazing to see social justice shills trotting out the movie’s mediocre critic rating as if people who get paid to see movies were some kind of objective proof this lame movie was actually passable. Puhleeez
