Ghostbusters is getting a theatrical re-release

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Well what do you know, a GHOSTBUSTERS story that’s actually going to happen! Who would have thought! It’s crazy to think that it has been 30 years since we were first introduced the eccentric parapsychologists played by Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and the late Harold Ramis. So to help celebrate the film’s 30th Anniversary, not only are we getting a kickass Blu-ray box set, but we are getting the rare chance to see the film on the big screen. Hell yes!

According to EW, a restored and remastered GHOSTBUSTERS will return to more than 700 movie theaters on Aug. 29. The theatrical re-release is the centerpiece of a GHOSTBUSTERS anniversary celebration that will also include special events, collectible merchandise, and a new home-entertainment release. The GHOSTBUSTERS 30th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray, as well as the GHOSTBUSTERS II 25th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray will be available on Sept. 16. It’s the first time the 1989 sequel has been released on Blu-ray, and special features include new conversations with director Ivan Reitman and Aykroyd, as well as deleted scenes from the sequel.
