Movie was just too expensive and was always going to struggle to be profitable.

If this movie ends up in the $150 mark and loses $100 million there won't be much of an appetite for a sequel as much as a reboot, at a low dollar budget.
Even the release date kind of shows that the studio didn't have much confidence in this movie

But the Ghostbusters coming in second to a movie in its second week isn't good news for them, considering the weak field that they have to contend with.
I can't believe how badly Independence Day has bombed though. I also didn't realize that X-Men had busted so badly.

Did it tho? It has a worldwide of 534M on a budget of 178M, only one in the series it didn't beat which was X-men: DoFP and that movie was setting the bar pretty high.

Without China, Ghostbusters will be a flop for sure. At least ID4 and TMNT has china to save it.

In fairness...I dont even know what to say about that one. The original was a great movie on absolutely no merits, it was just inexplicably fun to watch, this one seems like it probably should have gone straight to video.
Plus it needed a catchier name like:
ID4#2!: OctoCube!

I'm looking at the overall gross though.
It showed X-men at $154 million. to put that in perspective, the Jungle book has a gross of 360 million.

right, but that is just domestic gross. Xmen has 534M worldwide while Jungle book has nearly 1B worldwide.
edit: I'm not 100% on what they consider domestic gross as, just USA? or all NA?

Canada and the USA are both included in domestic gross. I'm a veteran HSX (Hollywood Stock Exchange) player....

Was a thing...I don't really play it anymore, I just have an inactive account that I log into every once in a while so it doesn't get deleted. At it's height i was very popular though.

I just got back from watching this, and my answer would be "Because it's actually pretty good. As good as if not better than the first, which was a pretty good movie, too."

Saw Ghostbusters last night...I was entertained. It wasn't a classic or anything but it was entertaining. I'd say a 6.5-7/10 type movie. Hemsworth was good and is developing into a very versatile and always watchable actor.

'Ghostbusters' star Leslie Jones busts Twitter haters
http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/18/entert...nes/index.html
The "Ghostbusters" star fought back against people who sent her racist and hateful comments Monday by filling her Twitter timeline with screenshots of their remarks -- and then let shame rain down on them.
The response from decent people of Twitter was swift, as users flooded Jones with well wishes and compliments, using #LoveForLeslieJ.
"Ghostbusters" director Paul Feig tweeted, "attacks against her are attacks against us all."
