Taped on Thursday so it could have been a last minute decision on Aykroyd’s part not to go. Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson likely went but he opted to go to AMC. Murray and Hudson interrupting Fallon’s monologue and going straight into their interview seemed to imply there was a time crunch going on. On the YHS livestream, Aykroyd was there at AMC for awhile before Hudson appeared, I think, but then Murray came fashionably late naturally.
Oh there’s a LOT in the ads shown that’s not in the actual movie itself.
“Hold on to your ass!” - Not in it.
“Oh ho ho ho ho…” - Not in it.
The red coats everyone went crazy for? Only 1 character wears it in the actual movie.
As for the lion? Mildly funny.You’ve seen nearly the whole scene. It comes to life, roars at Ray, is distracted by Phoebe and Podcast, goes to attack them and is blown to bits

Wow, I’m actually very surprised by the coat thing (I’m guessing only Lucky ends up wearing it, then?). So that whole scene with them on the roof from the trailer isn’t in it? Because they’re all wearing the coats in that one. They also featured them so prominently in the posters.
Was there anything else that you were expecting to be in the movie that wasn’t in it? Or things that ended up being more important than commercials/trailers would indicate?
Im actually relieved a lot of whats in the trailers is just fluff on the cutting room floor.
That means that over saturation of all those tv spots were just teases. And the movie will still be fresh.
I wouldn’t say a lot as far as plot related more dialog related that’s “missing”. I was looking forward to Ray saying “Hold onto to your juiceboxes” and that line also isn’t actually in it.

That scene on the roof of them all together is not in the movie. Just Lucky and Trevor.
Well with all the ghosts escaping the unit as well as the tv spots boasting “EVERY GHOST THEY EVER CAUGHT ESCAPES” lead me to believe we’d be seeing cameos from previously caught ghosts.
Jogger ghost or Scoleri brothers or SOME spook we’ve seen before.
Nope.
My expectations going in was to be entertained. I absolutely and thoroughly was. A few years ago I made a thread on GBFANS saying “If you could make a live action RGB episode to adapt into a movie, which would it be?”
I’m not kissing anyone’s ass when I say this movie absolutely embraced that concept, and once you watch it I’m sure you’ll agree it 100% could have been an RGB episode.
Gil & Jason have given us a homerun of a movie in Frozen Empire.
Thank you, fans for the feedback and I’m glad some had the opportunity to see Frozen Empire. I am curious if Dana is at least mentioned. I am disappointed that Sigourney may not be in it. She’s an OG.
Here’s Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan’s intro from the NY premiere (this was the speech to the Group A attendees)
Sigourney confirmed months ago she wasn’t going to be in it.
Dana is not mentioned at all. Also on a better note, neither is Oscar.

But isn’t she referenced on the sign during the battle with the Possessor/lion statue outside the library? Unless that shot isn’t in the final movie version.
Weird,must’ve been a very late cut cause it’s even in the Sewer Dragon clip that has been heavily promoted in interviews,usually what we see in clips are confirmed to be in the movie.
Does it still feel like Phoebe is the main. character or is Gary Grooberson the main one?
Jesus…is Bill even in it?!
Bill just runs past shaking an open water bottle.
They was the same situation with the last movie since Jason is Canadian and Canada gives crazy tax breaks.
It’s very odd they just happen to film both movies in their directors country of origin and that both of these countries offer generous tax breaks.
I can’t get over going all the way to England to film a movie that takes place in America. It’s amazing what they can do with some establishing shots, 2nd unit work and VFX.
What is Venkman story arc? Also, why does he wear sunglasses?
Story arc? He shows up and helps throughout the movie. The sunglasses? No explanation was given on screen from what I can recall. He puts them on right before Garraka arrives.
Things I’d like to know.
Does it have an eclectic soundtrack as in different songs like GB 84 GB2 and GBA?
What does the score sound like compared to GB 84 and GB2?
Is there a bustin’ montage and passage of time like in GB 1 and 2?
What I really wanted to ask was: has he a significant presence before the “can I be of any help?” bit?
Also, do you feel like they balanced all the characters pretty well, especially considering they had a bigger cast this time around? It seems like a lot of characters to juggle over less than two hours. From what I’ve heard, Kumail’s character surpassed some expectations.
Yes he does, and his first scene with Kumail got a lot of laughs in the theater.
I feel they did a good job of juggling all the characters, but some characters definitely could have benefit from more screen time. The movie absolutely hustles along.
Kumail in almost every scene he’s in brings the laughs. Of all the new characters introduced…I think I feel it’s safe to say he’s my favorite.
