Was "Ghostbusters Day" going to be an actual event, or what? On Twitter one of the fan groups is clamoring about spoilers they received in relation to the new trailers. Really wish I knew what it was...

I wouldn't get your hopes up in thinking this surprise has anything to do with a new trailer for the film. While that would be awesome if Sony were to drop a new trailer for Ghostbusters Day, but the surprise is unrelated and it's not going to be what you think its going to be. Doubt Sony released any spoilers that pertain to details in the film. The only spoiler any of the groups should know is what the surprise is going to be. However, I could be 100% wrong. If we're wrong, we'll go to jail. Peacefully. Quietly. We'll enjoy it...

That's not really what I wrote. I asked what "Ghostbusters Day" is, and separately mentioned some clamoring about spoilers related to the unreleased trailers.

Oh, sorry. I can't answer that. It's possible that Ghost Corps had some kind of event planned like they did with the trailer premiere, but Ghostbusters Day is usually just a yearly celebration around this time. In the past, they've done theatrical showings of the first film as part of it and I think they may have done something with the Ghostbusters World app?

Some info that was passed on to me indicated some new product announcements, and drive-in tie-ins. I'm sure we'll find out more concrete info in due course.

There's one drive in theater saying they're still playing it Monday:

Not sure how they're allowed to. Seems unfair to all the other theaters that were told they can't.

It seems like a crappy thing to do. But if you're in your car it's easier then crowded buildings. Much simpler to organize social distancing.

Probably won't have a large attendance to begin with but right now I'd love to have a drive in.

Correct. Theaters all across the country were told no. I'm hoping to clarify why this one theater seems to be allowed to.

Cinemas can't seem to catch a break. They finally have sold tickets since a long time and now have to cancel again?

I understand Sony doesn't want to celebrate GB day, but at least let the cinema's decide on their own if they want to show the movie if they have a copy themselves.

Alot of small business are defying lockdown orders. It's probably just as simple as that. Going to a drive in right now is probably safer then a gym.

Here in the Netherlands the cinema's are open to max. 30 people, so at least they are not defying covid rules.

Gyms are still closed though.

If you google “Fathom Cutdown” The first couple links are about mineralogists & mines. That’s a rather large plot point of the film. Coincidence? Yes. Probably.

It’s more likely it was for some canceled fathom event. I don’t know.

“Passing the Proton Pack” sounds like it’ll be used in a “Passing the Proton Pack to a new Generation!” way.

I want new footage in my eyeballs.

If this stupid virus hadn’t come along we’d be a little over a month until the big day. Now we are 9 months.

So if any of you get someone pregnant in the next couple weeks, your baby should be due right around the release date. Then you’d have to make a choice. Attend the birth of your child or go see Ghostbusters Afterlife on opening day. It’s a real Sophie’s Choice.

Well, the movie's likely be two hour long. The missus labor can last longer. If I get the timing right I can do both.

Luckily we've been living with my in-laws waiting for our new home to be ready, so any exchange with my lady were kept at minimum. If the next heir will come along it should be after March 😁

Well fathom is a unit of depth measurement, but for water.

It would be simpler to make the magic in the back seat of your car at the drive in, then a crowded theatre.

If this joke is to raunchy the mods can delete it. I've been binge watching Rodney Dangerfield. To quote Ray it just popped in there!

Do you think there's any possibility they move the release date back up some? Not sure how any of that works, but the March 2021 date really hasn't been pushed much. (I guess since its still a ways away...)

Well, they put the 2021 text on the official site and the "next year" card in the trailer. I guess they can scale down to January but I don't think they'll go through the hustle of changing details on the official material again.

Is there any indication we may have missed as to when the rescheduled celebration could be? With the virus and protest crisis situation changing unpredictably on a daily basis it may be postponed for longer than a week or two.

I've not seen any updates on the situation beyond the postponement post.

I'm certain Sony didn't commit to a certain date by this point to give themselves breathing room... Helping to prevent them having to reschedule it a second time if the current unrest doesn't dissipate as quickly as some expect it to.

To cut a long story short: It's on indefinite hiatus until we hear otherwise.

Getting drenched in psychomagnotheric slime sounds great right now. Anyway, I hope the rescheduled GB Day isn't a complete waste. I'm really worried the day would be wasted for crappy merch milking the same things previous merch did. The announcement made it seem like something big was planned, and it better be something worth our time before Afterlife finally arrives.

I'm happy with more merch milking. More merch means more advertising.

Hell I'm happy with a trailer.

The plus side about things being delayed is the movie tie in game should be hallway decent with the extra time.
