‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ director explains [SPOILERS] cameo

As you may have gleaned from the title, spoilers for Ghostbusters: Afterlife follow from here on out, so you might want to turn back if you aren’t one of the people who contributed to the movie’s healthy $44 million opening weekend.

We’ve known since the very beginning that legacy players Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver and Annie Potts would be returning for the third canonical installment in the franchise, and fourth overall if you acknowledge the existence of Paul Feig’s reboot.

MCU fans debate why so many people hate ‘Captain Marvel’

For whatever reason, a certain and very vocal section of Marvel Cinematic Universe fans have never been on board with Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers, and it got so bad that YouTube was forced to change its algorithm in an effort to prevent Captain Marvel being downvoted into oblivion before it was released.

Clark Gregg succinctly labeled the trolls as sad and butthurt, and even though they threatened to derail the marketing campaign via coordinated social media campaigns, they did absolutely nothing to prevent Captain Marvel sailing past a billion dollars at the box office to become one of the MCU’s highest-grossing non-Avengers movies.

A movie you definitely haven’t heard of is making a splash on streaming

There’s so much content on offer spread out across the increasing number of streaming services now available, that it’s almost impossible to predict which under-the-radar titles have the potential to break out from the pack and find an entirely new audience.

It’s typically the highest-profile originals or freshly-added blockbusters that dominate the online chatter and the most-watched list, but a very unexpected movie has come along to make a serious splash on the HBO Max rankings. As per FlixPatrol, micro budget Irish independent film Broken Law has shot up the charts by over 50 places to currently rank as the 22nd most popular title on Warner Bros.’ platform.

Dwayne Johnson celebrates ‘Red Notice’ reaching 150 million viewers

Up until the release of Red Notice, no Netflix original movie had ever managed to reach 100 million views in its first month of release, with Chris Hemsworth’s Extraction coming closest after agonizingly topping out at 99 million last year.

However, not only has Rawson Marshall Thurber’s star-studded action blockbuster handily surpassed that mark, but the platform’s recent change in the way it measures viewership data will give us a much better and more comprehensive indication of just how well Red Notice has performed.

James Gunn reveals if ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ theme park ride is MCU canon

Before cameras started rolling on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, James Gunn had to clear up some confusion after Chris Pratt caused a minor tizzy on the internet by sharing a video detailing his first day on set. As it turned out, the actor was actually capturing scenes for next summer’s new theme park attraction Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.

Not only is Gunn filming the third installment of the massively popular Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise, but he also had to find the time for Cosmic Rewind‘s bonus footage, on top of the Disney Plus Holiday Special, which comes to streaming next year. That’s a lot of intergalactic irreverence to get in the can, and it’s led to some questions about where it all fits into canon.

Lady Gaga improvised the most memorable line in ‘House of Gucci’

Even though the movie isn’t coming to theaters until this coming Wednesday, Lady Gaga’s performance in Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci has already come under intense scrutiny.

The singer and actress revealed she opted to stay in character for the entirety of the shoot, which helped her master her Italian accent. The only problem is, a lot of people completely disagree with the accuracy and authenticity of her brogue, with many folks blasting her for sounding Russian despite her assurances that she’s nailed it.

Kevin Smith shares his mixed thoughts on ‘Eternals’

It might be a stretch to call Eternals polarizing, when it’s pretty black-and-white that fans and critics have completely opposing opinions on the Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster.

After the first wave of positive reviews, the intergalactic epic quickly began sinking on Rotten Tomatoes, where it’s currently sitting on a 47% score. To put that into perspective, Thor: The Dark World held the previous MCU low at 66%, so it’s been deemed as the weakest installment in the series by far.

The finale of ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ hits fans right in the feels

Seeing as we’ll be diving into what happens during the third act of Ghostbusters: Afterlife, consider this your spoiler warning. Now, as the marketing has made perfectly clear without stating it overtly, the plot of the sequel is set in motion by Harold Ramis’ Egon Spengler, the only member of the original quartet no longer with us after his passing in 2014.

His family move into the dilapidated farmhouse bequeathed to them in his will, where they soon discover that the eccentric genius had a whole other life they didn’t know about. With the grandchildren following in his footsteps, the climactic action sequence merges the old with the new, as the youngsters partner up with Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz and Winston Zeddemore to prevent the end of the world.

Method acting isn’t for everyone, and it isn’t really Lawrence’s bag either, but she did admit during a recent Q&A held by Variety to coincide with a screening of Netflix disaster comedy Don’t Look Up that she replicated the personal preferences of her character Kate Dibiasky, a graduate student seeking a career in astronomy who ends up discovering a comet with the potential to cause apocalyptic devastation.

‘Ghostbusters’ reboot director congratulates ‘Afterlife’ team on box office success

The mere mention of Paul Feig’s name is enough to generate a reaction from any Ghostbusters fan, but the responses will probably lean much heavier in a negative direction if social media is any indication.

While some brave souls have gone public in their belief that the filmmaker’s 2016 reboot is superior to Jason Reitman’s Afterlife, they definitely seem to be in the minority. Feig’s effort proved to be one of the most polarizing, pilloried, contentious and divisive blockbusters of the modern era, with longtime supporters of the supernatural comedy series doing their best to completely ignore the fact that it even exists.

‘Eternals’ stars encourage fans to continue shipping Druig and Makkari

Even if it’s gone down in the history books as the worst-reviewed installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not to mention the recipient of the franchise’s lowest-ever CinemaScore, fans will be hoping their staunch appreciation and glowing praise will be enough to get an Eternals sequel the green light.

Of course, it also helps that the comic book blockbuster recently passed $300 million at the box office after less than two weeks in theaters, so there’s a strong chance that the band will be getting back together. Even in the worst case scenario, Disney Plus provides plenty of spinoff opportunities, something supporters would be more than happy to see in addition to feature length continuations.

‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ director teases plot points being resolved in sequels

Having blown past initial projections, Ghostbusters: Afterlife is on course to debut well ahead of estimates at the box office with an opening weekend in excess of $40 million, with fans finally getting the chance to see the sequel they’ve been waiting for since 1989, never mind one that was subsequently delayed by almost a year and a half due to the pandemic.

It’s fan service and nostalgia writ large, and while that’s exactly what some people wanted, the supernatural blockbuster hasn’t been winning unanimous praise. The Rotten Tomatoes critical rating is currently trailing behind the 2016 reboot, which some folks actually prefer, and it’s causing no shortage of debate on social media.

‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ proving surprisingly polarizing among fans

While Jason Reitman probably couldn’t make a Ghostbusters movie as divisive as the last one even if he tried, the release of Afterlife has stirred up an interesting and heated debate on the internet.

This is the sequel fans have been waiting for since 1989, one that sees the director following in his father’s footsteps to deliver a worthy supernatural comedy sequel that sets the stage for more installments to follow. Blockbusters made by the fans for the fans are a solid idea in practice, but it’s the execution that often lets them down.

The veteran actor has been working solidly for almost 50 years, showing up in a number of acclaimed film and television projects during that time, but he’s in the midst of a well-deserved resurgence following a recent pair of acclaimed performances in Netflix duo Da 5 Bloods and The Harder They Fall.

The actor has grown visibly weary of facing the same line of questioning every time he steps out in public, so he’d be thrilled to find out that he’s been trending all night for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with his heavily speculated and widely expected return to the world of spandex-clad superheroes.

‘The Batman’ could be as long as ‘The Dark Knight Rises’

Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises occupies the same territory as Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, in that all three hotly-anticipated sequels drew decent-to-strong reviews from critics and made a ton of money at the box office, only for fan opinion to continue souring in the years since their respective releases.

As evidenced by the sheer number of movies that have tried in the thirteen years since, very few blockbusters have been able to replicate the magic of The Dark Knight, not even its own sequel. One thing most people would agree on is that Rises is a touch on the long side, though, and it would have definitely benefited from being tighter than 165 minutes.

‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ tracking to obliterate pandemic-era box office records

Looking at how the hype train continues to gather speed and momentum with each passing day, Spider-Man: No Way Home should comfortably and rather easily become one of the biggest box office success stories of the pandemic, but how high can it realistically fly?
