Unfortunately it's a sci-fi movie that makes you think, so naturally the studio refused to distribute it.

I love the absolute hypocrisy behind this, because Hollywood is constantly complaining about diversity in films and how women can’t get leads especially in STEM fields. I don’t want to hear from them again when they refuse to promote a film that gloriously meets all of this.

But instead I’m a sexist for hating Ghostbusters, despite the fact it’s entirely loathsome, not funny, and a conscious “frick you” to the fanbase. Seriously, has there ever been a more petty pathetic villain than a YouTube commentator? Worst villain of all time as far as I’m concerned.

Haven't seen it, I wanted to but I've been busy.

Yeah, studios want formulas that are known to sell. If you can't pigeonhole it into a "it's like this movie", then they get antsy.

Ironically, the reboots and big series get the most freedom because they have name recognition on their side. Guarantee that if you took TLJ's plot and removed it from the Star Wars label, you likely don't even get the budget to make it for SyFy Channel. Same with the Ghostbusters reboot.
