Negative Ghostbusters Tracking

Posted by: managerX on May 05, 07:00

Ghostbusters stock performance blows my mind. I know there is a negative campaign out there by a very small part of the internet to troll the move after the first trailer - but is there any doubt this move isn't going to be at least a $150M summer movie?


Prime July spot; solid cast and a huge brand. I don't see how this isn't a slam dunk and it is trading at ~$80?? 

I think once summer kicks off, a new trailer comes out and the marketing really starts ramping up it is going to drown out the reddit crowd and we'll see this hit its stride. 

My only wish is that I bought in now and could make more of a killing on the way up!

I don't think its DOA (as of yet), but it's got hills to climb from all the negative press. people love to pile lobogotti May 05, 07:06

absolutely, thanks {nm} lobogotti May 05, 10:32

I'll be *shocked* if it beats Spy {nm} RamsFan2004 May 05, 07:09

Largely agree. The crowd crapping all over it is also largely the crowd that plays here, which explains the low price. shadowking May 05, 07:39

I thought maybe overaction from this thread too, and then this crept into one of my group texts... lobogotti May 05, 07:53

try this again... lobogotti May 05, 07:54

I think it is too soon to tell. Those invested in its failure DaveyWayne May 05, 08:24

rooting for failure is quite childish. that said, the press can certainly help to make it easy... lobogotti May 05, 08:27

I find it telling that the media loves to report the # of DaveyWayne May 05, 08:37

Personally I don't care either way. I've made a ton of fake bucks constantly flipping this stock. Long may it continue... hyperzeitgeist May 05, 08:29

two months out, so they've got time. {nm} lobogotti May 05, 10:33

Are your friends all guys? Did they go to see Bridesmaids opening weekend? {nm} Antibody May 05, 07:58

definitely not all guys, very diverse groups of friends. now that particular group of guys I'm doubtful all went opening weekend. lobogotti May 05, 08:06

But the three in your sample are all guys. {nm} Antibody May 05, 08:29

It's shortsighted to think this film was solely made for females. my example is potential target audience being soured. {nm} lobogotti May 05, 08:52

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying there's whole another audience whose opinion has not been represented. {nm} Antibody May 05, 09:25

that's fair. I would even say two audiences, females and families. {nm} lobogotti May 05, 09:54

+1, my girlfriend is very excited about the movie and wondering if she needs to watch the original now {nm} benz0 May 05, 10:18

You're worried about Sample Representation with a Size of 3? medv4380 May 05, 12:15

Stop! This is not a white guy issue. Loved Bridesmaids, Spy, Pitch Perfect, Sister Act and several others. Can hardly wait for Bad Moms! {nm} PhoneHome May 05, 13:04

Loved female GHST3 concept and cast. Was looking forward to it, but the trailers look awful! {nm} PhoneHome May 05, 13:06

The bad buzz has clearly reached newsworthy levels, which may be a bad thing, or may be a 'no publicity is bad publicity type of thing' shadowking May 05, 08:05

completely agree with your comments. this is a tough one. lobogotti May 05, 08:16

To me 50/150 seems like the high end of what it could do MattW May 05, 08:10

Ghostbusters curse. We are not ready for female ghostbusters? The next ghostbusters add gay cast mike255 May 05, 08:20

You thank, yoda25 plus 5... Also for IM which helpfull is for understanding all and everything {nm} JMT-NL May 05, 08:47

Eventually people get sick of every comedian too. The cast and plot just aren't right. Most reboots/rehashes don't do well. The new incarna Baron_Darcon May 05, 09:07

I agree on the miscast - wrong actors were put together TwoMisfits May 05, 15:56
