  1. $4.7 million in it’s first opening weekend that’s
    pretty low for a summer movie over the legend of tarzan’s box office takings of $ 8.2 million
    what hurt of the ghostbusters dominance was
    the ban sanctioned by china film certification
    board due to ground on the occult and
    spiritualisation and dire turn outs in cinemas
    across the united kingdom it needs to break ground
    in the next weeks or it will sink like the titanic
    but the film was above average not picture perfect
    by any means due to crude lavish jokes about YouTube
    commenters who trashed the trailers each guy was depicted either as an twit or an consummate buffoon
    and the main villain was an fine contender for the role as King Rat at Christmas pantomimes and he was such cliché that type of bullied victim turned villain has being done before in the 80’s film evil speak with Clint Howard where he plays that stereo type where he was bullied and by channelling Satan to get even my rating 7.5 out of 10 .
