![]() Phoebe discovers the farmhouse is haunted, and the poltergeist residing in it leads her to the ghost trap, which she shows to Gary and her new friend, Podcast. Trevor becomes infatuated with carhop Lucky Domingo, and the scientifically minded Phoebe enrolls in a summer science class taught by seismologist Gary Grooberson. Egon manages to conceal the ghost trap in his home before being attacked by the creature and suffering a fatal heart attack.Įgon's estranged, financially struggling daughter Callie inherits the farm and moves there with her children, Trevor and Phoebe, after being evicted from their Chicago apartment. He activates an elaborate setup on his property, but the power fails. In Summerville, Oklahoma, Egon Spengler captures an entity in occultist Ivo Shandor's mine outside the town and lures another to his farm. It grossed $204.4 million worldwide against a production budget of $75 million.Ī sequel, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, is set to be released on March 22, 2024. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise for the cast's performances, Reitman's direction, nostalgic tone, and its respectful tribute to Ramis, with criticism mostly being directed towards its screenplay and fan service. Ghostbusters: Afterlife was screened unannounced during CinemaCon in Las Vegas on August 23, 2021, and was released in the United States on November 19, by Sony Pictures Releasing, after being delayed four times from an original July 2020 date due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This was the final film to be produced by and involve the franchise's co-creator Ivan Reitman before his death in February 2022. Principal photography took place from July to October of the same year. In January 2019, it was announced that Jason Reitman would direct a sequel to the original films, with the new cast being announced by July, while the original cast signed on two months later. After cast member Harold Ramis died on February 24, 2014, Sony Pictures produced a female-driven reboot that was released in 2016. Set 32 years after the events of Ghostbusters II, it follows a single mother and her children who move to an Oklahoma farm they inherited from her estranged father Egon Spengler, a member of the original Ghostbusters.Ī third Ghostbusters film was in development since the release of Ghostbusters II, but production stalled because Murray refused to return to the series. The film stars Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, and Paul Rudd, alongside Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, and Sigourney Weaver reprising their characters from the earlier films. It is the sequel to Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters II (1989), and the fourth film in the Ghostbusters franchise. The only logical explanation is that at some point the team entered a shared ownership situation of Ecto-1, although that still wouldn't excuse Egon's theft of it.Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a 2021 American supernatural comedy film directed by Jason Reitman, who co-wrote it with Gil Kenan. ![]() Winston recovering the vehicle at the end of Ghostbusters: Afterlife is also odd since again, Ray bought it. Ray seems upset by that, yet apparently didn't bother to use his ownership rights to have it legally tracked down by a repossession firm. That would make Ray its legal owner, yet Egon is said to have absconded with it when he ran off to Summerville. ![]() Lastly, Ghostbusters 1984 is clear on the fact that Ray purchased what would become the Ecto-1 for $4800, and to call it a fixer-upper would be an understatement. The gunner seat is itself likely a nod to the Real Ghostbusters cartoon, in which Ecto-1 did have such a device, but in-universe, it doesn't make much sense. Making things a bit more confusing on the retcon front is that the Ecto-1 now has a gunner seat, which must've presumably been installed prior to Egon leaving the team behind, as he couldn't both drive and operate the gunner seat simultaneously. Yet, while Afterlife director Jason Reitman insists Ghostbusters 2 is still canon, the vehicle seen in his movie sports the original Ecto-1 design, with no explanation of why the upgrades were jettisoned. ![]()
