Sony Pictures recently confirmed the release of a special “Ghostbusters: Beyond” box in 4K, which also includes the two original films.

However, the announcement of the “ultimate collection” annoyed director Paul Feig due to the lack of the reboot he made in 2016.

Via Twitter, Feig criticized Sony, writing:

“Uh… Sony Pictures, I know that must be a mistake. We have a lot of fans and Bill [Murray], Dan [Aykroyd] and Ernie [Hudson] was a part of the reboot and it won the Kids Choice Awards for Best Feature the year it was released. I think that [a ausência] was it just an oversight? #weareallghostbusters “

To verify:

Um… @SonyPictures, I know that must be a mistake. We have a lot of fans and Bill, Dan and Ernie were there and it won’t be the Kids Choice Award for Best Feature the year it comes out. So I guess it was just an oversight? #weareallghostbusters 👻❤️ https://t.co/dI8TwJsG4I

Either way, it should be remembered that the 2016 film is not part of the same universe as the other three, which should justify the absence of the title in the box.

However, as part of the franchise, “Ghostbusters” should deserve more consideration from the very studio that produced it.

Additionally, the film also had the collaboration of Ivan Reitman, director of the originals, so it looks like Sony left it out of the box only because the film did not reach the same level of importance as the others. securities.

Despite 73% approval from critics, the feature made just $ 229 million worldwide, on a budget of $ 145 million.

The most recent film, “Ghostbusters: Beyond,” grossed $ 173.6 million worldwide, on a budget of just $ 75 million.

Considering that we are still facing the coronavirus pandemic, this is a pretty surprising mark.
