15 Terrible Looking 2016 Movies That Will Shockingly Make A Profit
13. Ghostbusters
The Premise: When ghosts invade Manhattan, two failed authors (Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy) must team up with a nuclear engineer (Kate McKinnon) and a subway worker (Leslie Jones) to save the day.
Why It Looks Awful: Despite writer-director Paul Feig's prior successes (Bridesmaids, The Heat, Spy), almost everything we've seen so far looks like a pretty desperate pimping-out of the Ghostbusters name, complete with lame, obvious gags, sub-par visual effects for a $150+ million movie, and simply little reason to believe the movie should exist in any way, shape or form.
Why It'll Make A Profit: Because it's Ghostbusters, it's from Paul Feig, and it boasts an excellent cast, not merely the four leads but also the surviving originals in cameo form.
Though a budget of that size for a comedy sounds like a gamble, a whole new generation of kids are about to go see Ghostbusters... even if this one ends up sucking.
