It happens again and again that Netflix has to say goodbye to films in its offering. The reason: If it’s not a Netflix original, most titles are licensed from another studio and therefore only available for a certain time. Now the sci-fi surprise Ghostbusters: Legacy from 2021 has hit.
The timing is really annoying: only until February 26, 2024 you can stream the ghost adventure on Netflix. The film then disappears, although the sequel opens in cinemas a few weeks later. In March, the ghost hunters will once again conquer the big screen and face scary characters.
