The upcoming release of Sony Pictures’ horror-comedy “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” is anticipated to match the early box office earnings of its predecessor, pulling in an estimated $43-45 million from approximately 4,300 theaters across the U.S. during its debut. This value mirrors the initial earnings of “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” which saw a domestic box office debut of $44 million three years ago. For “Frozen Empire” to be deemed successful, it will need to surpass “Afterlife’s” total earnings of $129.3 million in North America and $204 million globally, a challenging venture given its production budget of $100 million.
