It was once a case of “Who you gonna call?” when it came to spreading the word about something, but as is the way these days it’s more a case of “What you gonna tweet?”, and that’s exactly what Sony will have been asking themselves when they decided to screen Jason Reitman’s eagerly anticipated Ghostbusters: Afterlife at CinemaCon this week.
The good news appears to be that the response is overwhelmingly positive, with those lucky attendees calling it the “perfect blend of classic Ghostbusters moments with a fresh & unique twist” and the “sequel that I’ve been waiting all my life to see”. Take a look at a selection of the tweets below:
#GhostbustersAfterlife was really great. As someone who wasn’t a massive of #Ghostbusters I had so much fun even without understanding the references. A ton of heart with a great cast. New and old fans are going to love it. Stay through the credits! #CinemaCon pic.twitter.com/Gc3oySIXOa

Saw #GhostbustersAfterlife at CinemaCon and it’s good. A solid continuation of the original two films. Nostalgia for the original, and a strong turn by McKenna Grace as Egon’s granddaughter. Paul Rudd gets the best lines. Fans will dig it. pic.twitter.com/MgBXmEVWqz

Ghostbusters: Afterlife … Wow! Was not expecting how heartfelt it is. It has a very childlike Spielberg vibe to it. And @JasonReitman is extremely loyal to the original. #CinemaCon pic.twitter.com/APyHMzEuYd
