Ghostbusters: Afterlife sequel set to spook audiences over the festive season

Get the Full StorySony has officially handed the sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife a very surprising release date. The studio went all out on making sure the 2021 movie was a stronger relaunch of the franchise than 2016 s reboot and, while it didn t blow up the bank and received somewhat mixed reviews from critics and fans, clearly Jason Reitman s ode to his father Ivan s 1984 original did the job as a sequel is on its way next holiday season.

The next Ghostbusters movie which we can call Ghostbusters: Afterlife 2, Ghostbusters 4 or, if you re feeling particularly chaotic, Ghostbusters 5 has been assigned the official release date of Wednesday, December 20, 2023. This marks a huge first for the series, which has never premiered during Christmas before. The 84 flick, 1990 s Ghostbusters II, and Answer the Call all came out as summer blockbusters.
