Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire: trivia

All 7 facts

  1. 1

    First without Reitman

    This is the first movie in the franchise not to involve Ivan Reitman, who directed the first two movies and produced all of the preceding movies before he passed away in February 2022.

  2. 2

    Delay in the premiere

    This was originally scheduled to be released in the United States on December 20, 2023, but due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA writers' strike, its release was delayed to March 29, 2024, taking over the date originally planned for the release of 'Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse'.

  3. 3

    Kenay with Murray

    Kenan's second collaboration with Murray since 'City of Ember', a film that pan well at all.

  4. 4

    Original title

    The working title of this film was 'Firehouse' after the Ghostbusters fire station. In previous films, exterior shots of the firehouse were filmed in Lower Manhattan in New York City.

  5. 5

    Walter Peck's third

    This is the third appearance of William Atherton's character, Walter Peck, in the franchise, after 'Ghostbusters' (1984) and the video game 'Ghostbusters' (2009). An animated version of the character also appeared in the 'The Real Ghostbusters' episode 'Big Trouble with Little Slimer' (1987), with his voice provided by Robert Towers.

  6. 6

    Fire station

    In previous films, exterior shots of the firehouse were filmed in Lower Manhattan in New York City. Once filming on 'Ghostbusters II' (1989) was completed, the fire station kept half of the sign that hung outside. It was regularly displayed on holidays, particularly Halloween. It was eventually permanently moved outside, following a successful GoFundMe campaign by fans of the film in June 2021, which funded a full-scale replica of the Ghostbusters sign. This sign now hangs outside the fire station year-round.

  7. 7

    Ghostbusters Day

    The GoFundMe campaign is now an annual fundraiser for the fire station and a Ghostbusters Day celebration (June 8, marking the American release of 'Ghostbusters' (1984)) is held there each year.
