Ghostbusters: Afterlife 2 Release Date Set for December 20, 2023

The release date of Ghostbusters: Afterlife 2 is known. On Tuesday, Sony Pictures announced that the 2021 supernatural comedy sequel Ghostbusters: Afterlife will debut on December 20, 2023 in theaters worldwide. One tweet read, “We’re back in December 2023. @Ghostbusters.” The as yet untitled sequel, like its predecessor, will be directed by Jason Reitman, from a screenplay written by him and Gil Kenan. While there’s no word on the cast of Ghostbusters: Afterlife 2, Mckenna Grace, Paul Rudd, Finn Wolfhard, and Carrie Coon are set to reprise their roles from the first part.

However, the same can’t be said for Bill Murray, as Searchlight Pictures recently halted production on his latest film – the Aziz Ansari-directed comedy-drama Being Mortal – after receiving complaints about the veteran actor’s behavior.

While not much is known about the sequel’s story, Reitman previously told The Hollywood Reporter that Ghostbusters: Afterlife 2 would begin where its predecessor left off: “At the end of Ghostbusters: Afterlife, the Ecto-1 heads for Manhattan, returning to its home. And before anyone ever heard the title Afterlife, we called it Rust City. Which wouldn’t have made sense to anyone until they saw the movie. The codename for the upcoming film is Firehouse.

When it debuted in cinemas in November 2021, Ghostbusters: Afterlife grossed nearly $200 million (about Rs 1,580 crore) at the global box office to become a commercial success despite the COVID-19 pandemic. . Critical response, however, has been mixed – consistent with our review. Rotten Tomatoes’ critics’ consensus reads, “Ghostbusters: Afterlife cuts across the lines between franchise revival and nostalgia exercise – and this time around, the bustin’ feels right.”

The late Ivan Reitman — Jason is his son — who directed and produced the 1984 films ghost hunters film and its 1989 sequel Ghostbusters II, served as producer on Ghostbusters: Afterlife. He had also served as a producer on its much-maligned 2016 reboot, headlined by Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig. Ivan died in February 2022. Ghostbusters: Afterlife 2 – also Ghostbusters 5 – was officially announced in April.
