“Ghostbusters” Is Number One in Fandango’s Advanced Ticket Sales

“Ghostbusters”: Sony

Suck it, trolls. As we continue to celebrate this weekend’s opening of “Ghostbusters,” some fantastic news has hit that looks good for the movie’s box-office prospects.

The all-lady “Ghostbusters” is online ticket seller Fandango’s number one pre-selling live-action comedy of the year, Variety has reported.

As the trade pointed out, Paul Feig’s reboot, starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon, is out-selling “Central Intelligence,” “Ride Along 2,” and others “at the same point in the sales cycle.”

“Ghostbusters” has also beaten the pre-sale numbers for Feig’s other comedies, such as “Bridesmaids,” “The Heat,” and “Spy.” The summer flick was also chosen in a Fandango user survey as the summer’s most anticipated comedy, beating out box-office hit “The Secret Life of Pets.”

The box-office forecast for opening weekend is in the $38-$40 million range, but others have forecast a take-in as high as $50 million.

The Ghostbros may be trying to silence the critics, but they can’t stop someone from buying a ticket and proving their whole two-year crusade was pathetic.
