Good news for ghost-busting enthusiasts: Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, aka Ghostbusters 4, is coming to Netflix tomorrow. If I know one thing for certain, it’s that Netflix ain’t afraid of no ghosts.
Directed by Gil Kenan, who also co-wrote the script with Jason Rietman, this 2024 reboot sequel marked the return of Ghostbusters OGs Bill Murray and Dan Akykroyd, who joined the younger cast that includes Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Celeste O’Connor, and Logan Kim. It’s a direct sequel to the sequel to 2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and even though it wasn’t a runaway box office success for Sony, it’s still an exciting new entry in the Ghostbusters franchise. It is certain to be a hit title for Netflix subscribers.
This new Ghostbusters movie takes place three years after the events of Afterlife, and finds our favorite ghost-busting family in New York City. When a “death-chilling god” starts building a ghost army in the big apple, the veteran ghostbusters we all know and love must join forces with this new crew to save humanity.
Here’s what to know about what time Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire will be streaming on Netflix.
When will Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire be on streaming?
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire will be streaming on Netflix beginning on Monday, July 22, 2024, according to the streamer’s upcoming titles’ carousel.
The movie is coming to Netflix four months after opening in theaters as part of Netflix’s deal with Sony Pictures that gives the streamer the rights to the Sony movies in the “Pay 1” window, meaning the first streaming window after the film’s home media release. Other recent Sony movies, including The Pope’s Exorcist and No Hard Feelings, also came to Netflix about four months after opening in theaters.
What time will Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire be streaming on Netflix?
New titles tend to release on Netflix at 12 a.m. Pacific Time (which is 3 a.m. Eastern Time) on the morning of the movie’s release date. Therefore, you can expect to see Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire streaming on Netflix on Monday, July 22 at 12 a.m. Pacific Time, or 3 a.m. Eastern Time, on Monday morning.
That means if you live on the West Coast, you’ll be able to watch Ghostbusters on Netflix as early as midnight, if you stay up late on Sunday. But you should probably get some sleep! Ghostbusters will still be there in the morning.
Where else can I watch Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire online?
If you don’t have a Netflix subscription, you can buy or rent Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire digitally on Amazon Prime, Google Play, Apple TV, Vudu, and more.
