They won’t be bustin’ any ghosts this Christmas.
The upcoming sequel to 2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife recently wrapped shooting–working around the ongoing writers’ strike–but the film’s release this week was bumped back several months, according to a report on Deadline.
Instead of the expected Dec. 20 debut date, this as-yet-untitled horror-comedy will hit theaters during Easter weekend–March 29, 2024.
The new feature–directed by Gil Kenan from a screenplay by producer Jason Reitman–features legacy stars Ernie Hudson, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Annie Potts and Will Atherton–alongside Mckenna Grace, Finn Wolfhard, Carrie Coon, Paul Rudd, Kumali Nanjiani, Patton Oswalt, Emily Alyn Lind and James Acaster.
The original 1984 Ghostbusters–directed by Ivan Reitman from a screenplay by Aykroyd and Harold Ramis–follows three parapsychologists who operate a ghost-catching business in Manhattan. Nominated for two Academy Awards, the film raked in nearly $300 million at the global box office.
