Not only does it have the most dislikes for a trailer on the social platform, but it also makes the top 25 most disliked videos overall.
Paul Feig's Ghostbusters is not boding well with audiences based on the film's first official trailer on YouTube.
Released March 3, the trailer, viewed 29.2 million times and counting, is the most disliked movie trailer in YouTube history, according to the social platform's "Most Disliked Videos[1]" list that was last updated April 16. (Justin Bieber comes in at No. 1 with 5.99 million dislikes for "Baby.")
Coming in at No. 23, the reboot — starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones and Chris Hemsworth — more than doubles its number of dislikes than likes (208,606).
Thirty years following the release of the original Ghostbusters, — starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson — the director opted to switch up the all-male cast for a female-leading reboot.
On the day of the trailer's release, Feig said[2] on the Sony lot before journalists and fans: "I was a comedy fan, but I had not seen something like this — combining comedy with science and the supernatural and action. When Ivan asked if I would be interested in doing a new one, it blew my mind. I love the idea that a new generation is going to have their own Ghostbusters. … It was important to capture the heart of what we loved about the original but also bring something new."
YouTube user Crippled Camel penned of his opinions of the trailer, "I signed in under both of my accounts so that I could dislike this twice" — his comment has been liked by more than 1,000 fellow users.
The Hollywood Reporter reached out to Feig for comment.
Ghostbusters hits theaters July 22.
