Why the Ghostbusters franchise needs to come to an end
The original Ghostbusters is a near-perfect film. It’s just the right blend of comedy and legitimate horror, with Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, and Ernie Hudson in their prime. When it came out, it was innovative from both a technological and storytelling standpoint, and my goodness, was it ballsy, depicting a giant marshmallow man terrorizing New York City. It was lightning in a bottle.
In an interview with Starlog Magazine during the sequel’s filming, Murray was quoted as saying, “We’ll burn in hell if we call it Ghostbusters II. I’ve suggested Last Of The Ghostbusters, to make sure there won’t be anything like a Ghostbusters III.” After a troubled production period, Ghostbusters II was released on June 16, 1989, the number-one movie of that weekend, earning $29.5 million.
