Nabbing an A- CinemaScore, Sony’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife is on its way to becoming the #1 movie in America after the studio has confirmed a Friday total of $16.5 million. The fourth film in the series, though one that ignores the 2016 reboot and acts as a sequel to the two films from the 1980s, will successfully hold off the competition this week with Marvel’s Eternals slipping into second place for the first time since debuting in theaters. Afterlife is on track for a $40 million haul for the entire weekend, beating projections headed into the weekend, and will no doubt cruise to a nice hail through the Thanksgiving holiday.
You are a class act, a great friend, and a brilliant director. My heart is filled with gratitude for @paulfeig, the brilliant ATC cast and crew. Thank you for expanding the GB universe and giving me the courage to attempt a 👻 movie. #weareallghostbusters https://t.co/lXBKBuLWiW
