Even after Ghostbusters received generally positive reviews, a large majority of audiences dismissed the film and let it flop at the box office with a mere $229 million worldwide total.

Paul Rudd may be enough to salvage it. But you know it's going to be kiddie movie with that little rat from Stranger Things having panic attacks every 5 minutes.
The fact that Warner Bros. has not only acknowledged this incredibly obnoxious fan uproar but also agreed to, per their demands, #ReleaseTheSnyderCut, is mystifying and potentially dangerous. The message is clear: if you bitch and moan enough, chances are that the studio might not only hear you but agree with you.
“Incredibly dangerous to have a mob bitch and moan loud enough that they get their way”
They bullied those who suggested that maybe the Snyder version, which would require tens of millions of dollars to finish the audio and visual effects, might actually be the worse version. (Who would want to watch a half-finished movie anyway? The skeptics wondered.) They bullied those who thought that the theatrically released version was good. But most of all they bullied Warner Bros., who clearly went in a completely different direction from what Snyder was planning.
Imagine thinking that films are great because of the director’s editing decisions lol. If directors edited their own films they would be 5 hours long and filled with homages towards films they studied in college.
Peter Jackson actually prefers the theatrical cut of lotr. Although given its three hours each run time the studio was clearly already being very indulgent of his editing decisions, the extended edition was just fanservice to milk more money out of the cow.
I saw Ghostbusters and for a small second thought this was serious and the actual Ghostbusters was getting an actual extended edition. I feel very sad now.
You can't make a mediocre film good by adding in a bunch of stuff that didn't even make it past the cutting room floor the first time.
I'm pretty sure the reason for this flop wasn't the editing. Yes you were going to get sexist attacks given the concept, but had it actually been funny people would've forgiven you in an instant. It just wasn't that good and became a giant flame war over a turd due to the sexism allegations. Like two echo chambers just reinforcing each other uncontrollably.

Remember when while this movie was still filming, the studio thought it would be a good idea to have the cast go to a children's hospital in costume to promote the film? It led to some great comedy, considering it looked like half the kids were a week away from being busted.

y'know despite all the stink people raised back when, I really keep forgetting that the movie even existed

Which one? That show had the ugliest damn kids on the cast. All five of them have fucked up faces.
1 lorgar_was_right 2020-05-22
The main one, black haired kid. The only one constantly having twitchy
6 StoneStasis 2020-05-22
So it says he "seriously" wants to release it in the title, but in the main article it says he was probably joking. Quality journalism

Peter Jackson literally has no idea when to stop lol. Just look at King Kong. It’s a fantastic 2 hour movie trapped in the body of a 3.5 hour movie.

I wish the Mouth of Sauron was used more. Something about the big bad ancient evil sending out drones to trash talk the nearby humans speaks to me.

The only thing more pathetic than this movie are grown ass men who were REEEing over a movie about ghosts and vacuums

The only thing more pathetic than that, is the fact that you losers are still talking about this shit.
1 Copeshit 2020-05-22
Capeshit, Spaceshit, Wandshit, Swordshit, Elfshit, and now it's time for Ghostshit, what's going to be next? Cybershit?
4 Eternal_Mr_Bones 2020-05-22
How much do you think Feig paid the author to put this tidbit in?
4 kermit_was_wrong 2020-05-22
That’s exactly what happened. Regardless of where you are on the topic of this abortion of a movie, that’s just what happened.

This interpretation is like someone getting chlorine gassed and then saying their mad because they can't smoke anymore.
