Sony officially announced that production for the sequel is moving forward. We kept the pressure on and they finally listened to the fanbase. Keep your eyes on the official channels for production updates and stay ready to support the cast when filming begins.

The all-female Ghostbusters reboot was a great, fun film, that received mainly favourable reviews. Sadly these did not translate to box office success: It currently looks like the film made Sony a 25 - 50 mio loss, drastically reducing the chances of a sequel being made.
A lot of this has to do with the marketing for the film which was kind of all over the place, but also with the active campaigning against this film by angry middle-aged guys who couldn't handle "having their childhood ruined", whatever that is supposed to mean.
But there are also positive signs showing that a sequel might do much better:
-They toys accompanying the film are practically flying off the shelves
-The film is pretty high up in amazons pre-order charts
-searching facebook, tumblr or even redbubble will reveal that the film has a very active fandom, with a lot of fans showing their love for these new characters, especially Jillian Holtzmann
But Sony will need some persuading to actually greenlight a sequel for this. So here's what you can do:
-Sign this petition
-Talk positively about the film on social media
-directly contact Sony via twitter, facebook and email, and tell them you want a sequel
-maybe even send letters
-contact the cast on twitter and let them know you support them

Sorry I’m a mom and we didn’t get to the movies to see the reboot. But once me and my girls saw it on video we were hooked. We watch it all the time, hilarious. And we would definitely make it to the movie theatre for a sequel.
There are more stories to be told with this cast in this branch of the GB universe, and not necessarily in an animated forum. Please make a live action sequel with our fearless ladies, Melissa, Kristen, Kate, and Leslie. Holtzmann 4eva. Booyah.
It was so great to see women as heroes, scientists, and as people on the screen. As a girl who wants to be a scientist when I grow up it was such a great feeling to FINALLY see something like that with my little brother who loves the new ghostbusters as much as I do. I NEED a sequel
The "Ghostbusters (2016)" movie changed my life, quite literally. I have never felt more inspired. I identified with these women. It is so important to keep making movies with strong female characters without a romantic story line.
I don't remember the last time I enjoyed a movie so much!! My 12 year old son is a fan of the whole franchise and he loved it too! Made me stay until after the credits to see if there was any clues for a sequel, hopefully he isn't let down!!
I loved this movie, I NEED A PART TWO!
Love this movie.

I loved the new Ghostbusters! I've seen it 4 times already and I'm buying all the merchandise I can get my hands on. The cast were great, funny, and the little girl inside of me loved having female Ghostbusters! Also, Holtzmann, need I say more? Please make a sequel!
