Ehhhh... I'm leaning Groundhog Day. Can you imagine if someone tried to re-make that? BURN THE THEATRES.
Anyway, it seems to me that this decision was based on precisely this sentiment. "Look, we cannot do a standard reboot of Ghostbusters. That idea is doomed. It can't help but live in the shadow of its predecessor. We'll have to do it so differently that it can't even really be compared. Got it - all female cast". Almost an acknowledgement of said sacred cow status.
