The new Ghostbusters movie premieres this week, and so far, its future is looking good. Social media buzz has been building as reviews—many of them positive—rolled out Sunday afternoon. And for her part, the movie’s producer Amy Pascal is feeling very confident.

“I have waited for this moment for a year!” Pascal told The Hollywood Reporter at the film’s premiere in Los Angeles Saturday. “It’s going to be endless. People are going to love this movie so much that’s they’re going to demand more and more.”

Hear that? Endless! If Pascal's prediction turns out to be true, it’ll no doubt be a huge blow to the Ghostbusters fans (read: man babies) who have been trashing the film and its very existence from the word “go.”

Despite those premature misgivings, reviews for the film have been largely positive, albeit mixed. The laudatory notices have praised not only the easy manner in which the movie treats its female leads (there are no heavy-handed “messages” here) but the way it allows all four women’s distinct comic sensibilities to shine. Of course, it’s also drawn criticism; some reviewers, including Vanity Fair’s own Richard Lawson, found the movie stiffer than they would have hoped, and thought it seemed too focused on callbacks to the original film.

What does this debate look like in numbers? The film is sitting on a solid Rotten Tomatoes critic score of 78 percent right now, as well as a 63 on the more calibrated Metacritic. Can those scores compare to what the original garnered? Unsurprisingly, not at all—but the movie is performing a lot better so far than Ghostbusters II did with critics back in 1989.

So, could this new franchise actually be endless? Only time will tell. But if I had to take a guess, I’d advise the haters to start nursing their apparently very fragile childhoods now.
