'Ghostbusters' Scores Best Live-Action Comedy Opening Since 'Pitch Perfect 2'

Now that its first weekend in theaters is coming to a close, all of those dudes who wailed about how their childhood was ruined by a female-driven reboot of the beloved, ghoul-hunting movies can be silenced for the time being. Ghostbusters brought in $46 million at the box office, and while it didn't do quite as well as its champions would hope, it hit a serious milestone in the process.

Following close behind The Secret Life of Pets, which took home $50.6 million thanks to its zany, animated animal adventures, Ghostbusters clinched the best opening weekend for a live-action comedy since Pitch Perfect 2, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
