Ghostbusters: Answer the Call, initially marketed as Ghostbusters,is a 2016 American supernatural comedy film directed by Paul Feig, written by Feig and Katie Dippold and stars Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones and Chris Hemsworth. The third feature film in the Ghostbusters franchise, it is not a sequel to the previous films but rather a reboot where four women start a ghost-catching business in New York City.
A third Ghostbusters film had been in various stages of development following the release of Ghostbusters II in 1989. As a result of original cast member Bill Murray's refusal to commit to the project and the death of fellow cast member Harold Ramis in 2014, Sony decided to reboot the series. Much of the original film's cast make cameos in new roles. The announcement of the female-lead cast in 2015 drew a polarized response from the public.
Distributed by Columbia Pictures, the film premiered at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on July 9, 2016, and was released theatrically in the United States on July 15, 2016, in 2D, 3D, RealD 3D and IMAX 3D. Ghostbusters: Answer the Call has grossed $220 million worldwide.
