Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire has exceeded expectations and pulled ahead of its predecessor, but only slightly. The movie is a direct follow-up to the franchise’s 2021 legacy sequel Afterlife, which brought back major characters and plot points from the original 1980s horror comedies. That was a course correction from the 2016 reboot, which featured cameos from several original stars playing different roles but otherwise centered on an all-female team of Ghostbusters.
