Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A profit of $200 million may be a success for some movies, but for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, it could be the final nail in the franchise's coffin. The Ghostbusters franchise has consistently released new material since the first movie in 1984. Outside the original movie and the 1989 sequel, there were multiple animated TV shows, video games and even officially licensed comics produced by Marvel and IDW among others.
2:04 Related Frozen Empire's Rotten Tomatoes & Box Office Are A Harsh Reality Check For The Ghostbusters Franchise Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is the 5th installment in the Ghostbusters franchise, and its box office hints at some harsh truths about the film series. Other franchises that rebooted so close to earlier entries have often fallen flat. For example, 2015s Fantastic Four reboot releasing 10 years after the original and 8 years after the sequel. Spider-Man being adapted three times in 15 years, with the second attempt performing the worst. Rapid reboots appear to frequently ring in the end of a franchise, not a healthy new beginning.
If the studios were to make another Ghostbusters movie, it would need to either cut the budget, which could lose the stars of the film, or accept that it may make a loss. But, for a business that makes movies and thrives on the sale of tickets to those films, it doesn't make sense to keep making movies that are not profitable. At present, a sixth Ghostbusters movie has not been confirmed, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to see why a studio would take the risk.
In order for a franchise to keep audiences engaged, it needs fresh new stories. The films and the characters should change and evolve over time. A story about a family that fights ghosts could potentially have that potential for growth, but it hasn't been explored in great detail in the movies. Despite this, franchises continue to be expanded and reinvented repeatedly in Hollywood as they turn to projects that previously saw success.
