Merchandise Monday: Sony Pictures Consumer Products – Ghostbusters
A new Ghostbusters film is coming out this year and with it, a new slate of licensed merchandise. The best part about the new film? The Ghostbusters are all ladies. (And their secretary is played by Chris Hemsworth, which I’m excited about.) Rebooting the franchise like this and turning it on its head will hopefully bring in a new generation of fans; either fans of the original movies introducing Ghostbusters to their children or kids and teens seeking it out for themselves. Whether you’re an old or new fan, Sony’s offering a product for everyone. “In the last seven years, we’ve built a groundswell of merchandise,” says Mark Caplan, senior vice president of Sony’s Global Consumer Products.
