>As opening day approaches, Feig can’t help but think about the stakes of making a $150 million movie. “A movie like this has to at least get to like $500 million worldwide, and that’s probably low,” he says. “But the thing I care about most is the industry looking for an excuse to say, ‘See, a tentpole can’t be carried by female leads’” — three of whom are over 40. “I cashed in all my chips,” he says. “I had to use every chip to make this happen.

>So why risk it? “I wanted for little girls to be able to see themselves up on the screen,” Feig says. “The original one exists, so you can see boys doing it, but how fun for girls to have this experience!” That’s why he pushed so hard for new Ghostbusters action figures. “There was some resistance,” he says, “because there’s a fear that boys wouldn’t buy toys from a movie starring girls. But guys have such great feelings of nostalgia because the original had a lot of gear. I’d like girls to be able to put on a proton pack and run around.”
Do you think Ghostbusters will make a profit, lads?

It's the pandering to young women blatantly, shamelessly that pisses me off. Like we are going to go see it, and create a new fan base just because they flipped the story that way. But I see little girl children getting all excited.... They don't know about that, it makes them happy.
Whatever. I think I have an advantage, because I feel so ,,MEH about the whole thing #Hookerwithapenis

>>72011439
>You don't see them rebooting Barbie for guys.
To be fair, that's originally what G.I. Joe was. They were big Barbie-like dolls but with guns and beards. And its also not wrong to want girls to have action toys too. The problem with this movie and his statements is that the merchandise and story seem to be aimed at girls and, if necessary, at the expense of boys. If this were a new IP, that would be no problem, its just a thing for girls. But Ghostbusters is already a thing loved by everyone, and by making it seem exclusive to just one gender isn't fair to the other.

The only similarity between Barbie and AgI joe is that they are dolls. GI joe isn't about fashion and shit.
This isn't the same. It's literally just replacing the guys with females and calling it a masterpiece. It implies women can't relate to men at all simply for being men (rather than what they may be doing).

Yeah, much better just going to watch Disney animations. I'd rather buy my daughter Ghibli movies than watch this shit.

Those who liked ghostbusters, when they were little girls. Yeah, so none.
it's set to open with less than $50 mil in the US, probably wont break $100m
Why do girls need role models in movies like this anyway?
The original Ghostbusters... none of them were role models! Peter was a conman and a sleaze, Ray was a goof, and Egon was an autist. And that movie wasn't for kids really anyway. It was a grown-up comedy that kids of the '80s happened to latch onto because back then, kids consumed adult media freely.
I don't understand why every piece of art has to serve some moral or political fucking purpose these days.
>>72011722
Compare it to Batman v Superman, which had zero competition at its release. Now, critics haven't given it the full slaughterhouse treatment, so keep that in mind. The question is how bad will word of mouth be?

Reminder: Disney is worse than Sony, by far. Disney hasn't made a unique animated film in quite a while. >>72011896
Because it unites woman and prices they can do mens job. In reality it's Sony using real life politics to attempt to manipulate opinion about a sub par unoriginal movie they green screened to make a quick buck because Sony is financially unstable.
>>72011519
They lost a ton of money on merchandising this movie. Clearanced out before the film even hit theaters? I'm a /toy/ fag and I've never seen that happen in 30 years. Ghostbusters was one of the merchandising powerhouses of 80's. It's very unique and marketable concept to kids. An all female reboot is literally the worst thing they could have done when it comes to merchandising.
>>72012464
>I'm a /toy/ fag and I've never seen that happen in 30 years.
Thanks for confirming this. I thought it looked very wrong, but I haven't paid attention to toys since I was 12.
>>72011409
I've got bad news for you
>>72011316
The fact he's giving the number he needs for this to be a financial success is him screaming for backup from Feminist/SJWs.
>“There was some resistance,” he says, “because there’s a fear that boys wouldn’t buy toys from a movie starring girls."
Little girls do not buy action figures. Take this from someone who has helped raise and care for kids for a good part of my life. Little girls will not walk into a toy aisle and point to a female action figure. They won't point to a proton pack playset. You'd be lucky if a few do. Those toys aren't going to move. He should have listen to the people who understand how children and marketing works. It's like the people who cry that they don't make dinosaur clothes for girls. That' because the average girl doesn't like dinosaurs. Because you kid plays differently or wants to dress differently doesn't mean the market needs to change to a minority's taste. That's bad business. Same goes for toys.
>“I wanted for little girls to be able to see themselves up on the screen,”
Then make an original movie with female heroes. One girls can call their own. This is the issue with these types of people they want to appropriate male things. They don't want to make anything from the ground up they want to take from another base, Same reason why instead of making a new female comic book hero they replace the long standing super hero and then slapped the name on the replacement. It's laziness and an attempt to stir up the original fans. And how is putting women in their 40s in a movie suppose to inspire little girls? This shows how dense Feig is. Little girls look up to girls in their teens, 20s, and maybe 30s if they aren't a wreck by then. Not someone who looks like their grandma's friends.
If there is a movie jail I hope he ends up there. I hope this movie doesn't even come close to be financially successful.

A girl wearing a ghostbusters uniform made him cry. Girls have been dressing as ghostbusters for ages.

I don't know what little girls' brains think, but they're not going to see a bunch of old ladies as role models. And young male demographics are definitely not going to masturbate to them. So what's the point?
>>72012889
>‘That’s why we’re making this movie!’”

>>72012834
Spot on post.
Seriously what type of idiot makes a family movie full of near menopausal women? Only Kate Kinkinnon is the right age for a little girl to say "Hey I wanna be like her when I grow up." No one wants to grow up and be an old woman, a fat woman, or a Big Black Woman who looks like a fucking linebacker.

Holy shit this reminds me of Brian Michael Bendis who cried in the middle of a store because he made Spider-Man black for his adopted Somali kids. He made Iron Man a black girl for the same reason.
>>72011316
Feig is a fucking idiot. Nobody likes reboots unless they are created for the right reason. If its a great idea but the technology wasnt there and the actors didnt really matter than you can reboot it. You can use most superhero flicks as an example. A movie like ghostbusters was retarded to reboot because the ghost effects still look fine and the actors were crucial and the best part of the original. Why risk it? Fuck him. If he REALLY wanted to risk anything he would have came up with something original with these women to do. Instead he was banking 100% on the ghostbusters name to carry this movie and make millions. Its risky to create something new and hope people like it. Its not risky to take something people love and just aim it at a new audience
>>72011796
Yeah, I only like loud obnoxious humor that the movie spits in my face.

I have heard people complain out loud about shit like this and laugh at them because they're so delusional. Because your little girl is dikey and wants to play with toy trucks or whatever doesn't mean everyone else's daughter is interested in doing the same. It's like it hurts these ultra liberal people that boys and girl function differently. They are not the same. And a handful of kids not being the norm isn't going to change that. If you want girls shit with boys things on it then get them made they have companies online that will custom make shit for you.

They sensitive and plus Bendis thinks he's making history by making every character black or a woman. People like him think they're "on the right side of history" and get some kind of fulfillment by doing shit like this.
They're a real selfish self centered bunch who pretend they're doing things for the greater good. Like making Ghostbusters for little girls despite little girls never wanting that at all.

As opposed to a summer blockbuster based on an existing franchise. He himself didn't want to do another prepacked existing property but was so stuck on his positive women kick he's stumping on his own foot.
>>72014340
Bridesmaids was low budget. Made for women, marketed towards women, women are the biggest movie going demographic no shit they made back. But Ghostbusters is a expensive summer blockbuster film and he did himself no favors when it came to keeping the male demographic and the female demographic are not fans of action movies even with female comedians at the helm.

Whatever this guy says is absolute bullshit. This movie was an all female cast BEFORE it was Ghostbusters, so he doesn't give a shit about little girls putting on proton packs. The combo of Feig and Amy Pascal wanted to do an all female movie franchise and later on decided it would be Ghostbusters. Feig refused the offer to do an actual sequel, Ghostbusters 3. He only agreed once it was all female and a complete reboot. This is all in the leaked Sony emails.

Can we get some Paul Feig WATCH MY MOVIE shops going? could be /tv/'s version of the Todd Howard meme.
>>72020644
The chances of this breaking 100 million domestic is very slim. The few films that do break 100 million after 3.4 million debut usually have no competition the following week or play as counter genre to a bigger picture. Ghostbusters was never intended to be counter genre. Itt's meant to grab kids, but they're going for Life of Pets instead. It's meant to grab guys who would normally see these type of films but well....that boat has sailed. The only audience it has left is women over 25 and those don't return to watch movies twice unless there's a love triangle, thick romance plot or kinky sex where the female is dominated. based on thursday, it'll probably get at most 45 million this weekend with steep drop next week. Unless this film is soooo special that it bucks trend and we get a 35 million dollar count of Friday.
>>72020569
I think there's a massive quantity of "female targeted" shit. Probably more than shit targeted towards men, outside of more niche areas like vidya. The problem is, most of it is utterly awful and flies under the radar for that reason
If this doesn't beat Pets on it's opening weekend there will be hell to pay. BVS only held the top spot for two weeks and was laughed at for it. Not to mention Star Trek and Ice Age are right around the corner. Sony execs should be shitting their pants right now, desu.
>>72021385
You're commenting like Sony hasn't been shitting it's pants since the first trailer dropped. They've been on damage control since. They've gone and fucked up their damage control but incompetence is something Sony Film is familiar with.
>"Bawww I did it for the little girls"
Blame yourself if it fails you stupid cuck, you wrote the fucking awful script! You & Sony were the ones who had to sue Bill Murray to appear in it! You're the ones who made it a reboot ignoring the continuity because you didn't want to pay Ivan Reitman!
So go jump on the biggest, sweatiest dick you can find Feig. You get no sympathy from me

Wtf is he talking about? Amy Pascal was 100% on board with him so much so that she pushed out Ivan Reitman. He didn't cash in shit.
>>72021734
I think he's implying he boned Amy
>>72021639
Didn't Janine bust ghosts frequently in the original show or was that just one episode?
>>72021639
That show was so fucking good
>>72021771
That would imply Feig has a dick.
>>72021639
Everyone who never watch it or can remember what they watched want to assume that show was bad.
>>72021771
That's a good point. For a fago like him that would take everything he had.
>>72021455
The Facebook page for Ghostbusters is actively touting the Anti-Men review headlines and "certified fresh" rating. It's pathetic.
>>72012889
You made a fucking movie.
You didn't cure a disease.
You didn't build someone a home.
You didn't feed hungry starving children.
You didn't invent the next technological step in human advancement.
You made a dumb fucking movie which will not change the world in any way and will be forgotten quickly.
Get over yourself.

I agree. That's like saying women hate men because the don't want to go see action movies. Which they do go see because the men are beef cake sex symbols. Men like female leads if they aren't shit, targeted towards women, or avatars for feminist propaganda.
>>72011796
no it isn't. ugly women making le 9gag quips after every sentence is not fucking funny you fat cunt.
>>72021779
About three episodes, and one of them was in a dream land vs The Sandman. This is only to my memory. I have the first 3 volumes on DVD.
>>72021941
There have been tons of movies with women in leading roles that have redefined the industry upon their release, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Alien, Ringu, etc. I have no idea where this rhetoric of "No wimmins in movies" came from except from the mouths of dumb executives and victim feminists.

Probably not. Folks who liked Spy hate this movie.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA

Obviously China hates women. Manbaby headquarters
>>72020954
So wait, did Necromancers and the Undead get renamed to something else in the game if China is sensitive about ghosts?
>>72025031
There wasn't any undead in the Warcraft movie, probably because they knew China was a major market and the inclusion of undead and ghosts would chance it being banned.
Smart film development with a poor practical execution where as Ghostbusters 2016 relied heavily on the domestic market and nostalgia and didn't really have the fore-sight for the Chinese and other foreign markets which could be why they leaned so heavily on the controversy.
>>72025031
It's a Warcraft adaptation, not a World of Warcraft adaptation.
It's a retelling of the events of the original opening of the Dark Portal (aka Warcraft 1).
>>72025031
Sorry, also mis-read your post, but yes, the Undead and Necromancers are named something else in the Chinese version of the game.
>>72020913
Yeah, and Ghostbusters is already guaranteed a big fat goose egg in China
>>72011605
>And its also not wrong to want girls to have action toys too.
but girls instinctively dont want to be action heroes. they are biologically programmed to be care givers and nurturers that starkly contrast the hunter gather roles of men. this stuff has been thousands of years in the making, you cant just stop all of a sudden and expect women to want to be men and hold the same expectations society places on men

But that one is true.
When it's not a massively popular IP like a Star Wars sequel, female-led movies make way, way less money in most genres.
This is statistics, not opinions.

When you teach a child that they are special, need special attention, and should be treated specially they grow up with the idea that the world should bend to my whim. In the western world little girls are told this from a very young age no matter the race or creed. Most boys are never told they are special and should be treated as such.

The movie is extremely anti-male.
All of the male characters are assholes, Hemsworth is a dumb secretary type which the girls ogle over (haha it's okay to objectify men :^)), they literally beat the final boss guy by shooting him in the dick.
