GHOSTBUSTERS: ULTIMATE COLLECTION Box Set Includes Films, New Documentary, Deleted Scenes, Audition Videos, and More

An awesome collector’s item is headed our way this February with the release of the Ghostbusters: Ultimate Collection Box Set. The box includes the original two Ghostbusters films, then it quietly skips over the 2016 Ghostbusters movie from director Paul Feig, and includes the latest film, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which will also be available for individual purchase on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD on the same day (the movie also debuts digitally on January 4), as well as tons of awesome bonus features sure to please any fans of the franchise.
