Paul Feig’s ‘Ghostbusters’ Set for Summer 2016 Release
Posted on Tuesday, January 27th, 2015 by Angie Han
With leads Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones more or less in place, Paul Feig‘s Ghostbusters has finally set a date. Sony will open the horror-comedy reboot on July 22, 2016. Warner Bros.’ King Arthur and Lionsgate’s Power Rangers are also slated for that weekend.
Feig shared the Ghostbusters release date on Twitter:
In other news, #Ghostbusters will be hitting theaters July 22, 2016. Save the date!

Kate Dippold co-wrote the Ghostbusters script with Feig. It’ll be a reboot of the classic property, rather than a sequel — though Feig is apparently leaving the door open for original cast members like Bill Murray to return.
