Chilly Reception: 'Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire' Debuts Amid Mixed Reviews
March 20, 2024
The sequel 'Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire' is scheduled for release on March 22.
Original cast members return, joined by Paul Rudd and Carrie Coon, in a story featuring the Spengler family and the original Ghostbusters.
The plot centers on thwarting an ancient ghost army that could plunge the Earth into a second Ice Age.
Critics have given the film a lukewarm 47% Rotten Tomatoes score, citing a 'cluttered' narrative and an 'underwhelming' villain.
In contrast to critics, fans are eager to see the film, showing more interest in the audience score than critical reviews.
Post-theatrical release, the movie will become available on streaming platforms such as Netflix, Disney+, or Hulu.
