CULVER CITY, Calif., June 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- To coincide with the 35th anniversary of Ghostbusters, first released in U.S. theaters on June 8, 1984, Sony Pictures is launching "Ghostbusters 35th," a year-long celebration of the iconic multi-media franchise, it was announced today by Jeffrey Godsick, EVP of Brand Strategy and Global Partnerships for Sony Pictures. The event represents a collaboration between several Sony Corporation divisions and will lead up to the newest installment in the film series to be released in theaters in 2020.

"Ghostbusters 35th" activations extend across the consumer products and entertainment spectrums and include toys, collectibles, fashion and apparel, theatrical, live events, music, gaming, home entertainment and publishing. Exciting new events and activations will be announced in the coming months.

"Ghostbusters has been entertaining and delighting audiences of all ages for the past 35 years, and this milestone provides the perfect opportunity for a celebration of the franchise and the impact it's had on popular culture," said Godsick. "The level of interest from our divisions within Sony Corporation as well as our external partners is a testament to the enduring power of the Ghostbusters brand. Together we've curated a year-long event that has something for everyone, from long-time fans to those new to the Ghostbusters universe."

"It's been truly gratifying that what we created 35 years ago has continued to entertain and resonate with two generations of audiences," said Ivan Reitman, producer and director of Ghostbusters and 1989's Ghostbusters II. "This is a momentous occasion, and we've had a great time collaborating with our friends at Sony to put together this unique year-long celebration of all things Ghostbusters."
