"Ghostbusters: Afterlife" Delayed by One Week

Sony on Wednesday once again delayed the release date of “Ghostbusters: Afterlife”.

Now, the blockbuster sequel will debut on November 19 instead of November 11, a date that was initially set for "Top Gun: Maverick".

The move comes after Paramount pushed back the release of many of their upcoming movies to later in 2022, including Tom Cruise’s “Top Gun” and “Mission Impossible” sequels.

The movie was originally scheduled for release in July 2020 but was delayed several times due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The sequel was rescheduled for June 2021, but ongoing pandemic concerns due to the surging Delta variant Sony pushed the movie back again to the fall.
