Confirmed by Variety yesterday, Jason Reitman’s long-awaited follow-up to the original Ghostbusters films has once again moved its release date to 6/11/21 due to the on-going pandemic. The date moves the film into the traditional June release window where Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters II (1989) were released over thirty years ago.
The film was originally scheduled to release July 10, 2020 but after the pandemic hit the United States hard in March, the date was pushed to March 5 of the following year. This second move to June 11 of 2021 makes the film intended as a summer blockbuster for Sony Pictures.
