Ghostbusters Returning To Theaters

Spengs1 Comment

rgbswatchinggbs

If you’ve wondered sometime since ghostheads have known Ghostbusters (2016) was in production with a July 2016 release date if GHOSTBUSTERS would also return to screens; wonder no more.

Entertainment Weekly (EW) wrote today GHOSTBUSTERS will be returning to theaters (limited engagement) this June.

On June 8, the anniversary of the original 1984 release, Fathom Events (the event company shared by AMC, Regal, and Cinemark Theaters) will re-release the orignal film in more than 750 theaters across the country. (An encore date of June 12 has also been scheduled.)

In addition, BBQ Films will be hosting three nights of immersive screenings of Ghostbusters in a giant warehouse in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (natch) beginning June 8. The event company plans to transform the venue into a Ghostbusters HQ where fans can strap on a proton pack, hang with some ghosts, and of course screen the original film.

Unfortunately for ghostheads outside the United States, this may be only within the US. I don’t know 100% for sure. It can’t hurt to check, especially if your country has one of the named movie theater franchises.

Tickets for both events can be found here: FathomEvents.com and BBQ Films.

If you know me or even visited my personal blog, iRich you know I own at least one Curious George plush. Thanks to the Rays, my mom, a Jersey shore boardwalk, childhood, and probably Gund I’ve owned a handful of Curious George plushes. My original Curious George (since I had from 9 months old) stitching could no longer hold. I’ve probably been traumatized since 1985. The one pictured over at iRich became a replacement about the same time.

What does the Curious One and this Build-A-Bear story have do with one another? If you’re familiar with Build-A-Bear, you already know besides “outfits” for plushes with hearts, at Halloween adults and kids can buy costumes for their personal bears.

In the past as I would see military “flight suits” at there stores I thought if they sold a khaki flight suit (without patches) I could make a Ghostbusters uniform for Curious…

gbsin2mincap

During Ghostbusters 30th anniversary LEGO fan and ghosthead Monsieur Caron (YouTube) made The Ghostbusters Lego Movie. (GBI Blog Post, August 18, 2014) Less than 2 years later Monsieur Caron has created a new Lego Ghostbusters fan film. This time with key events from Ghostbusters!

Monsieur Caron

Enjoy this recreation of the 1984 Ghostbuster movie all made in LEGO stop motion animation by MonsieurCaron. If the crossover between the LEGO bricks and the fan favorite ghost hunting foursome is playable in the LEGO Dimension game, it is only here that you can see the story resumed in only 2 minutes with real LEGO bricks.

Ce film en FRANÇAIS / This movie in FRENCH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vHj3…

You will see the famous Ecto-1 21108 come to life as it leave the Firehouse Headquarters 75827 made by The LEGO Group, but note that every scene in the brickfilm were created by MonsieurCaron using his collection of over 200 000 LEGO bricks and many official sets. It took exactly a month of construction, animation and post-production to make this project come to life. Visit monsieurcaron_brickfilm on Instagram to see all the behind the scene photos.

Ghostbusters Sanctum of Slime Now One Better

SpengsLeave a comment

Did you once have an Xbox, making happy memories playing Ghostbusters: The Video Game in 2009, followed later on with Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime?

Years later you may have left your aging console to collect dust like you once collected achievements. All because of the newer and current Xbox One. (US) You couldn’t play certain games (go with me here) until Microupdate added “backwards compatibility.”

Honestly I still don’t know if Ghostbusters: The Video Game is compatible. Please leave a comment if you know. Word from the not so mean cyber streets informed ghostheads that Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime is compatible from Xbox (One) Live Arcade.

gbsanctumslimedescript

Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime retails for $4.99 USD and can be downloaded on Xbox One, Xbox, probably (I don’t know for sure as I don’t have a PS3/4) Playstation Network, and I sorta still guess PC Download. Again, if anyone can confirm please leave a comment.

Exciting news today as ghostheads found out (thanks to GBNJ member Kenneth) not only is Hi-C Ecto-Cooler coming, the marketing campaign has started! Though I suppose before we get into the fun stuff, (my past kid self disapproves) let’s take a brief look at the business side.

Why are we getting Ecto-Cooler in 2016? Charles Torrey, Vice President, Minute Maid/Hi-C Brands, Coca-Cola North America has the answer.

From BusinessWire:

“Hi-C Ecto Cooler fueled a pop culture phenomenon that is well remembered and beloved by fans to this day,” said Charles Torrey, Vice President, Minute Maid/Hi-C Brands, Coca-Cola North America. “Sony Pictures was extremely enthusiastic about bringing it back for this special occasion, and the timing of the upcoming Ghostbusters film made this the exact right time.”

During February’s New York Toy Fair Diamond Select Toys gave ghostheads their first look (GBI Blog Post, February 16, 2016) at Ghostbusters Glass Tumblers.

Where I wrote: (Am I suppose to quote myself?)

Depending on your age you may remember licensed character glassware. Which may have been part of a food promotion, (for a price) maybe from a gas staton, mail away, or easy as buying in store. Their was a time depending on geographic location their were Ghostbusters character glassware. Same for Ghostbusters II.

DST knows their audience (and if you’ve seen or have their BTTF glasses) and will be coming out with 4 different Ghostbusters glasses. With art that reflects the characters. These glasses also include other iconic characters and themes from Ghostbusters.

When GameStop had listed product pages for the upcoming Activision Ghostbusters (2016) video games, (GBI Blog Post, April 16, 2016) we didn’t notice in the Ghostbusters search another new, upcoming product from Insight Editions.

Insight Editions who published Ghostbusters The Ultimate Visual History (Ecto-Containment Blog Post, July 12, 2015) by Daniel Wallace aren’t strangers to licensed journals. As North America was severely lacking in Ghostbusters journals that can also securely hold our Ghostbusters mementos, Inside Editions has us hard covered.
