Sony Pictures has revealed to us that the cost of reshoots for 2016’s Ghostbusters reboot were $3-4 million and not the $30-40 million that actor Dan Aykroyd had previously claimed.
That being said, Sony financed the movie and would have had to okay any extra spending that took place, including reshoots.
Unfortunately, without sufficiently recouping its budget, the odds of Sony backing a sequel now appear quite slim.
The Ghostbusters reboot, which starred Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones and Kristen Wiig, was bombarded with controversy before, during and after its release, ultimately taking in $229 million worldwide.
