Massive tentpole movies like Ghostbusters do have multiple revenue streams, but those revenue streams tend to go hand in hand with the success of the movie.
Back when the movie premiered, Sony executives were very confident about a Ghostbusters sequel moving forward, but that seems less likely now.
Sony hasn’t officially ruled out a live-action Ghostbusters sequel, but don’t hold your breath.
As of right now, the movie has only made $180 million worldwide, with a reported production budget of more than $140 million.
