Part 3/10:
While some fans claim Ghostbusters 2016 made more money, a careful comparison reveals the nuances. The 2016 film, released in summer, faced expectations of greater success but ultimately underperformed against its own projections. It was projected for approximately $57 million its opening weekend but only managed $46 million, underperforming by around $9 million and with total gross around $229 million globally, a figure that barely broke even after factoring in marketing costs. The hefty $150 million production and marketing budget contributed heavily to its losses, leading Sony to write down massive sums in early 2017.
