'Ghostbusters' returning to theaters for 35th anniversary

They’re still the ones ya gonna call.

The original 1984 “Ghostbusters” will be returning to movie theaters for its 35th anniversary in October.

Tickets for the Fathom Events presentations on Sunday, Oct. 6, and Thursday, Oct. 10 are on sale.

In addition to having the classic movie back on the big screen, the event will feature a special introduction from the original cast that includes “newly unearthed and rarely seen alternate takes,” according to Fathom Events.

“ ‘Ghostbusters’ is a comedy legend and a movie legend, a movie whose immediate success has been followed by decades of fervent fan appreciation,” said Tom Lucas, vice president of studio relations for Fathom Events. “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.”

The movie stars Bill Murray as Peter Venkman, Dan Aykroyd as Ray Stantz and Harold Ramis as Egon Spengler — a trio of parapsychologists specializing in the world of the supernatural.

After being fired from their university research jobs, the guys decide to go into business for themselves as paranormal investigators and eliminators. They’re later joined by Ernie Hudson as Winston Zeddemore, who is hired to help them keep up with their increasing workload.

The movie also stars Sigourney Weaver as Dana Barrett, the Ghostbusters’ first and, initially, only client, who seeks their help after watching eggs jump out of their shells on her kitchen counter and encountering a creature in her refrigerator that says one word, “Zuul.”

Rick Moranis plays Louis Tully, Barrett’s neighbor in the building later described as “Spook Central.”

Ghostbusters took theaters by storm, running for 30 weeks. The title song by Ray Parker Jr. hit No. 1 on the Billboard Top 100 chart and remained a national bestseller for more than 20 weeks.

The movie has a domestic lifetime gross of $242 million and a worldwide take of $295 million, according to Box Office Mojo. Its production budget was $30 million.

It was the second-highest grossing movie of 1984, coming in behind “Beverly Hills Cop” and ahead of “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.”

”Ghostbusters” was written by Aykroyd and Ramis, who died in February 2014. It was produced and directed by Ivan Reitman.

In January, Reitman’s son, Jason Reitman, announced he was working on a new Ghostbusters film. It will continue the story arc of the original and its 1989 sequel, “Ghostbusters II,” and is not associated with the 2016 reboot.

Production started in July. Sony Pictures is scheduled to release it in July 2020.
