Interestingly enough, Ghostbusters 2 wasn’t originally considered a priority under Columbia Pictures president David Puttnam’s tenure, as in 1986, he was more interested in the studio delivering smaller-scale movies. However, by the following year, Ghostbusters 2 was given the green light, although this was before director Ivan Reitman had been able to review the unfinished script. And somewhat similar to the first movie, the sequel was eventually rushed into production by summer 1988 so that it could hit theaters in the middle of 1989.
