Folks,

 

it appears we will be getting more Lego Ghostbusters in 2016.

 

 

 

 

“Alongside Mattel, we have LEGO on board, Funko doing Pop! Vinyl and Rubie’s is making costumes. It’s expansive. We have something for everyone, whether you’re a collector or an everyday toy buyer.”

I'm just wondering how popular the sets will be if the film doesn't do well and the original characters from the 1980s aren't in the sets... Regardless, the designs should be cool based on what we have see to-date.

 

 

another thing is what it means by saying Lego is on board. Should mean sets & not just Dimensions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My wife and I enjoyed the movie.

That's 3.  Keep it up guys

I am neutral on the movie, but I will wait until it shows up on Prime (soon!) before checking it out  

Leslie Jones was definitely the weakest IMO and Kate McKinnon sometimes tried a bit too hard.  McCarthy and Wiig were pretty awesome.

I won't watch it.  Yes, I'm that guy.

Be careful. We don't want her to get you banned on BP. [emoji6]

That's 1.  Good for you.

The movie only needs $70 million more to make up for $140 million production cost.  I assumed Sony spent $0 on advertising considering all the "controversies" surrounding the movie

The articles I've seen have all reported that Sony spent about $100 million worldwide on advertising.

It's still doing better than "BFG".

Hey now, I was trying to be positive there.

 

It will definitely recoup its money, plenty of good reviews of the movie plus plenty of people rating it having seen it. Probably will need to wait until the blu-Ray release before it really picks up.

Definitely going to pick up the Ecto 1 & 2.

Do it sooner rather than later.  They’ll be gone before 21108. 

My wife took my daughters to it. They all liked it even though it was scarier than expected. My wife said it was "funnier than the original" which was an insult to my 80s childhood on all levels.

It must hurt GBs worldwide gate that China banned it from theaters.  I believe China is the second largest movie going market in the world - tough to lose that audience...

That said, I liked it.

Finally caught the 2016 movie over the weekend.  I enjoyed it.  It was fun.  Had some funny moments.  I felt it was more homage than copy.  Keeping in mind I still remember seeing the originals in the theater (multiple times) in 84 and 89, and I can probably quote from memory 90% of the original film at any moment.  I liked the cameos.  It was all good.  I even enjoyed the after credits scene, too.

Ditto. To add, it did not deserve any of the viciously viral flack at all period. Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones were easily my favorites. One qualm I feel as though they made Chris Hemsworth too much of a doofus. I mean there is funny dumb and then just plain, well, "bless his heart".

I'll own that.
