Ghostbusters Movies

This section of the GBFans.com wiki collects the theatrical Ghostbusters films and the pages tied to each one, including their cast and crew listings. The series runs across two separate continuities. The original continuity began with Ghostbusters (1984) and continued with Ghostbusters II (1989), then resumed decades later with Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021) and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024). The 2016 film, also marketed as Ghostbusters: Answer the Call, is a stand-alone reboot with its own characters and does not continue the earlier story.¹

Ivan Reitman directed the first two films, both released by Columbia Pictures.² The later original-continuity entries passed to a new creative team, with Jason Reitman directing Afterlife and Gil Kenan directing Frozen Empire.
