Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Nice! It looks like Ivan Reitman's original classic GHOSTBUSTERS is returning to theaters this October via Fathom Events for two nights only: Sunday, October 6, and Thursday, October 10. This special 35th-anniversary presentation will feature an introduction that reunites key members of the cast, sharing the memories of making a film and will also include newly unearthed and rarely seen alternate takes from famous scenes.

Fathom Events Vice President of Studio Relations Tom Lucas said:

Ghostbusters is a comedy legend and a movie legend, a movie whose immediate success has been followed by decades of fervent fan appreciation. There’s never been a comedy quite like it, and maybe never will be again, and Fathom Events is delighted to bring ‘Ghostbusters’  back to the big screen for longtime fans to enjoy again and new audiences to discover for the first time.

Directed and produced by Ivan Reitman from a screenplay written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, GHOSTBUSTERS stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramis, Rick Moranis, Annie Potts, William Atherton, and Ernie Hudson. The plot:

Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, and Egon Spengler are three scientists at Columbia University in New York City. When their grant expires, the guys are fired and they go into business as a ghost extermination company called "Ghostbusters". Their first customer is orchestra cello player Dana Barrett, who was scared out of her apartment on the 22nd floor of a high rise apartment building on Central Park West. It seems that Dana's neighbor, Louis Tully, is also being affected by the strange happenings in the apartment building. Armed with proton guns, the Ghostbusters become wildly popular, and they are joined by Winston Zeddmore, who is looking for a job with good pay. Overzealous Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) agent Walter Peck thinks the Ghostbusters are frauds, and he has the Ghostbusters put in jail. Peck is forced to believe the Ghostbusters when New York City is put under siege by an ancient Sumerian God named Gozer the Gozerian, who is channeled through the apartment building that Dana and Louis live in, and the mayor has no choice but to let the Ghostbusters out of jail to face Gozer.

Fathom Events and Sony Pictures present the film in more than 600 movie theaters nationwide at 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. local time on Sunday, October 6 and Thursday, October 10. A complete list of theater locations is available on the Fathom Events website. Snag your tickets HERE.
