Ghostbusters Frozen Empire Tops Netflix US Chart on Streaming Debut

As a long-time fan of the Ghostbusters franchise, I couldn’t contain my excitement when I heard that “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” had taken the top spot on Netflix in the U.S. It’s no secret that I’ve been eagerly following the latest addition to the series since its release in cinemas back in March.

As a dedicated gamer and Netflix enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news with you all! The iconic Ghostbusters team has returned to haunt the Netflix movie charts once again. Just recently, the chilling adventure of Frozen Empire made its grand entrance on our favorite streaming platform in the United States and snatched the top spot right out from under the reigning champion, Land of Bad. This isn’t exactly groundbreaking information if you’ve been keeping a close eye on Netflix’s ever-evolving movie chart. New releases often claim the throne for a while before being dethroned by the next big thing. So grab your popcorn and settle in for another thrilling ride!

The movie “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” which hit theaters in March, didn’t achieve box office record-breaking numbers or universal acclaim, but it continued the modest success of “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” and satisfied a large number of fans from the original ’80s series. In this installment, the returning cast, including Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, Paul Rudd, Mckenna Grace, Finn Wolfhard, and Carrie Coon, encounter a new adversary and experience an atmosphere reminiscent of a live-action “Real Ghostbusters” episode. As a result, the film is now gaining renewed popularity on streaming platforms.

As a passionate Netflix viewer, I’ve noticed that a new addition to the platform has been making waves lately, pushing some previous top hits off the No.1 spot. Shows like “Land of Bad” featuring Liam Hemsworth and Russell Crowe, “Trolls Band Together,” and Harry Connick Jr.’s “Find Me Falling” have all taken a backseat to the highly anticipated arrival: “Frozen Empire.” With the iconic Ghostbusters franchise backing it up, I knew that “Frozen Empire” was bound to make a splash on its release day. However, the real intrigue lies in how long it can maintain its position at the top.

Although no news has been given about a possible fifth live-action Ghostbusters film, Netflix has shared that an animated series is now being created. With popular shows like “The Real Ghostbusters” and “Extreme Ghostbusters,” fans are eager to discover what new experiences this new venture will offer.

Around the time of “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” coming out, director Gil Kenan gave us an exciting sneak peek into the development process of the animated series. I was among the fortunate fans who had a glimpse of what was in store, and I can confidently say that many of us would be thrilled with the direction it’s taking. Here’s what he mentioned back then:

I recently had the pleasure of attending a comprehensive art showcase for the upcoming production. The scenery and surroundings were unveiled to me, offering my first sneak peek into a realm brimming with otherworldly beings. Our gifted creative team is hard at work bringing this magical world to life. The scripts are being penned, artwork is being generated, and it’s an exhilarating moment to be part of the Ghostbusters squad.

Currently, the future of the Ghostbusters film series remains uncertain. Although producer Jason Reitman and actors like Ernie Hudson have given optimistic signals, the final call lies with Sony. In the interim, supporters can revisit the spine-tingling saga of “Frozen Empire” to potentially motivate the team for another adventure.

The American version of “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” can be streamed on Netflix. However, as of now, there’s no announced release date for the UK.
