I was confused why the phone number was referencing Real Ghostbusters but the video used the movie Ecto…RGB is the TV screen. Haha.

I’m betting on Gil and Jason being present for some charity work with little to say about next movies/cartoons.

Agreed. The cartoon is being unveiled end of month. Another film is another 2-3 years away.

At the most they might drop a hint to tease the animated series and the future.

I am expecting more Real Ghostbusters merch announcements for the 40th though.

They’ve set up a livestream this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Gwgs8SAScU

I’m expecting a possible title reveal for the animated series. With all the focus on Netflix at the moment, I feel this may not be the place for the announcement of a new live action sequel. Perhaps it gets announced in 2027 and releases in 2029. And if the animated film were to come out in 2028, we could pick up real momentum once again. But that one could take longer.

Ghostbusters: Night Shift

I like it! The logo is fun.

Here’s the livestream from the event.

happy ghostbusters day

So, what Jason and Gil where there for?

For the Night Shift announcement, to greet the fans/franchises and raise money for charity, like they did other years.

Aside from Night Shift, they were there for Ghostbusters Give Back as well. They said the initiative surpassed its $500,000 fundraising goal then “Golden Trap” awards were presented to the three chapters that raised the most money for local causes: Buffalo Ghostbusters ($67,000), Los Angeles Ghostbusters ($65,000) and Ghostbusters Virginia ($30,000). A $150,000 matching donation check was also presented by Jay Levine, EVP, Chief Strategy Officer & Business Operations at Sony Pictures, alongside Reitman and Kenan, to Adam Garone, CEO of Starlight Children’s Foundation, on behalf of Sony Pictures, Starlight Children’s Foundation and “Ghostbusters Give Back.”

Jason Reitman reacting to Craig’s joke was hilarious. Around the 18 min mark.

Jason posted 10 minute video from Saturday’s event.

It’s awesome that they come out to mingle amongst us fans. My team was able to get Jason’s signature on our Ghost Corps certificate.
