"In first choice, older males are highest followed by older females." {nm} Antibody Jul 12, 11:26

Obviously not every guy thinks his childhood has been ruined by this reboot. {nm} Antibody Jul 12, 11:30

Well, once George Lucas had his way with it, how much more could Ghostbusters do to their childhoods? /s {nm} BSmurf Jul 12, 11:32

Not according to the tracking I've seen. Older males is lower than the other three demos. diamondman56 Jul 12, 11:45

I'm 62 and was talking to my wife about it last night. tradermark Jul 12, 14:30

while I don't doubt it, sales at my theater at this point are quite low. will be interested to see where they are lobogotti Jul 12, 11:39

Nothing ablaze here either but MNDWD looked dead too before exploding with walk-ups. I would expect GHST3 to have more presales though. {nm} RollingThunder Jul 12, 11:42

my thoughts precisely RT. {nm} lobogotti Jul 12, 11:50

But Mike and Dave only made $16Mish opening weekend TwoMisfits Jul 12, 12:27

I'm guessing its relatively speaking. {nm} ~JPV~ Jul 12, 12:59

It would be so strange if for a would-be blockbuster the audience ends up not supporting it while critics did. Jay_Beezy Jul 12, 20:17

To be fair, Top Critics are (at this point) under 50% {nm} TwoMisfits Jul 12, 20:40

That's true. Richard Roeper eviscerated it, while my local NJ critic simply said it was mediocre {nm} Jay_Beezy Jul 12, 20:51

The article says "40-48 with a shot at 50". Maybe they updated after posting it MattW Jul 12, 13:42

No, 40 was last weekend. "change-up their opening weekend projections for Ghostbusters from $40M to $48M " {nm} Antibody Jul 12, 13:59

It's going to do 50+ IMO. No competition and looks like a fun summer film. {nm} Hersheybar Jul 12, 14:28

looks like something the dog left on the curb. {nm} tradermark Jul 12, 15:09
