1="There are people out there who like to pay people to shit in their face, but just because someone else likes to be shit in the face, doesn't mean that I have to like being shit in the face. And that's the beauty of living in a free country, that some of us can be shit in the face, and be content, and that others can be shit in the face, and not be, and I was not content with this face-shitting. I hope you don't hold it against me the way I don't hold it against you, but I do not like being shit in the face. And that's what this film Ghostbusters 2016 reboot was. A gigantic shit in the face."

- JacobHessReviews Ghostbusters (later marketed as Ghostbusters: Answer the Call) is a 2016 American supernatural action comedy film and reboot (or remake) of the Ghostbusters franchise and the 1984 classic film of the same name, as well as the third film, overall, in the franchise. Directed by Paul Feig and written by Katie Dippold and Feig, the film stars Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones as parapsychologists who start a ghost-catching business in New York City. It was produced by Village Roadshow Pictures, Ghost Corps, Pascal Pictures, Feigco Entertainment, and The Montecito Picture Company. The film premiered at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on July 9, 2016, and was released in the United States on July 15, 2016, by Columbia Pictures.

At the time of its release, it received mixed to positive reviews from critics. However, it was panned by fans and audiences alike, criticizing its political agenda and its SJW content. The film grossed $229 million worldwide against its $144 million budget, but because of its combined production, marketing and other costs, it became a box office bomb, with losses of over $70 million. Ghostbusters is widely considered to be one of the worst reboots of all time, forcing Columbia Pictures to cancel any sequels for the rebooted Ghostbusters series and eventually opting to continue with the original Ghostbusters series instead with Afterlife, which was released on November 19, 2021.
