Now this is a completely "what if" scenario that doesn't reflect on my current thoughts on Sony or Disney.
For those unaware, Sony bought Columbia Pictures on September 28th, 1989 (a few months after GB2) for 3.4 billion dollars. That may sound insane back then, but feels like a boring regular studio purchase in today's market. Now here's something to think about, and hear me out on this.
What if Disney/Buena Vista bought them rather than Sony?
It could seem funny given how they didn't care much, but now wanna buy EVERYTHING today. But several things might happen with this.
1. Re-releases would happen way more in both physical releases and theatrical screenings.
2. Extreme Ghostbusters would get a Season 2, and an actual complete series set.
3. Ghostbusters 3 would've happened WAY sooner than we thought for better or worse.
4. A remake would be more blandy-bland like Lion King or Pete's Dragon, but less controversial in some way.
How does this sound? I know it wouldn't happen anyway, but it's just something fun to think about.
