Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire will hit theaters in only a few days, and field workplace projections are wanting shiny, with the sequel set for a $45 million opening.
This quantity places Frozen Empire roughly on par with Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which earned a $44 million opening upon its launch in 2021.

Here’s the synopsis for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire: “The Spengler family returns to where it all started – the iconic New York City firehouse – to team up with the original Ghostbusters, who’ve developed a top-secret research lab to take busting ghosts to the next level. But when the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force, Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age.” The movie stars Queen of Physical Media Carrie Coon, in addition to Paul Rudd, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Kumail Nanjiani, Patton Oswalt, Celeste O’Connor, Logan Kim, and Annie Potts. The unique Ghostbusters, consisting of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson, may even seem, and director Gil Kenan has mentioned that they are going to be handled like “actual characters” this time round.
Our personal Chris Bumbray just lately caught the sequel, and whereas he had enjoyable, he didn’t really feel as if it was pretty much as good as Afterlife. “I was a big fan of Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Jason Reitman’s film skillfully blended nostalgia with a new take on the franchise that opened up the Ghostbusters universe in an inclusive way. It welcomed new fans without alienating old ones, something the 2016 reboot notoriously failed at,” Bumbray wrote. “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire seems to be aimed at building the franchise out more extensively. While it’s still a fun, nostalgia-driven return to the Ghostbusting universe, it’s not as good as the last film and spreads itself too thin to do the new characters justice.” You can try the remainder of Bumbray’s overview proper right here.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire will hit theaters on March twenty second.
