Ghostbusters II failed to become the eight-highest-grossing film of 1989.
 Shortly before its release, a "major theater chain" executive said they expected Ghostbusters II to make approximately $150 million during its run, behind Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade ($225 million) and Batman ($175 million), and ahead of Lethal Weapon 2 ($100 million)
Ghostbusters II was released on June 16, 1989 to generally negative reviews
