This absolutely breaks my heart, he made the movies that made up my child hood. I hope he rests easy and my deepest condolences to the family.
He passed the eternal torch to his son. God bless.
ghostbusters was my childhood also 😢❤️
Terribly sad news, but the man lived a great life, spreading happiness to the masses. That's all you can do in this life, and for that, he did damn good.
True. Everyone dies but not everyone truly lives.
So true!
RIP IVAN REITMAN. 75 YEARS YOUNG. THANK YOU FOR BRING GHOSTBUSTERS TO LIFE.
R.I.P to the man who made our childhoods happy
I will really miss this man forever. Hopefully he and Harold will have a great reunion on the other side.
Yes.
Agreed. ❤️🙏
That man's 2 Ghostbusters movies transcended multiple generations. People who watched the films in theaters decades ago grew up and showed them to their children and grandchildren. If you drive anywhere in an Ecto-1 replica, especially in New York, everyone and their mother will recognize the machine AND want a picture. The firehouse in New York became a treasured landmark to movie fans. The films themselves were fine wines that truly got better with age. It was incredible to see Ivan's son Jason Reitman rise up one day and create a new Ghostbusters movie with him recently.
Ivan Reitman was and is a filmmaking legend. He left a rare mark in the film industry that's nearly if not impossible to replicate. Some people had their lives changed by the first Ghostbusters film alone. His status as a legend is and will always be truly unquestionable.
This is so sad to hear. However I'm glad he was able to see afterlife made and to do it with his son. My condolences to the family.
I haven't cried this hard since the ending in Afterlife (or rather, Ghostbusters 3) and if you've seen it, I'm sure you'll find out why.
Gonna miss you so much, Ivan. RIP
Same. And I got a Ghostbusters Ecto 1 replica for my birthday and this hits hard as well too. I’m thankful for Ivan Reitman for giving us Ghostbusters, a timeless cinematic classic
That was Ivan too so I’m glad you got to do that before he passed.
@@JonathanGaeta Ghostbusters is one of my favourite movies ever and I’ll still miss Ivan greatly.
I disagree with Afterlife being 3. The *real* Ghostbusters 3 is the video game, and Afterlife is 4. It even incorporates a lot of the ideas from dead scripts. We already had a Ghostbusters 3 for a very long time and yet most people still don’t even know about it, even when it got remastered. It’s sad…
@@ZacharyDietze Ehh yeah but they fight Ivo Shandor as the main villain in the game but then in the afterlife he had put himself in cryosleep so he couldn’t have fought them in the game.
I can't believe it. I saw him in London back in November. My condolences go out to his loved one's. We should take solace in the fact that he did what he loved and that he left us with a wonderful library of films that will be enjoyed for generations to come.
What a legend we have lost. I'm so glad he got to see his son make a new Ghostbusters and keep his legacy alive for generations to come. 😭❤️
It's very heartbreaking that he sadly passed away but I am glad that he had a chance to see the success of his son's Ghostbusters afterlife movie may him and Harold have a peaceful living above the heavens
@@andrewbloom7637 yes it will, they made more off of merch anyways.
NOOOOO!! I can't believe it...we lost him...
He was one of the best, may God bless his soul, and may he rest in peace... 😢😢❤🖤
I do own some of Ivan Reitman's films including "Twins (1988)", "Kindergarten Cop (1990)" and "Six Days, Seven Nights (1998)". This shocked me just as much as Harold Ramis when he died in 2014. It was an honor to see his son Jason experience his fair share of success as a filmmaker especially with the recent box-office smash "Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)". I am a tremendous fan of the whole Ghostbusters film franchise especially the 1984 original that started everything and the cartoon spinoffs. Harold Ramis and Ivan Reitman, your movies represented my childhood as much as my adulthood. You two are the most beloved brothers of comedy filmmaking, y'all made me and my fellow fans before and after me laugh and cry with your films. Thanks for the laughter and all the memories 😢
@@andrewbloom7637 Actually the 2016 all-female reboot "Ghostbusters (2016)" was a commercial bomb. Here's why GA was a commercial smash though...because "Afterlife" took only a $75 million budget to make, (which was half of the failed female 2016 reboot took which was $144 million) and closed out with $196.4 million worldwide. It also surpassed the break-even $150 million threshold even though it fell short of turning a $200+ million profit. So technically "Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)" was a commercial smash and lost no money, unlike that bizarre all-female cast predecessor "Ghostbusters (2016)", that film grossed $229 million against a $144 million budget, however Sony reported a net loss of $70 million, and it was still a commercial box office dud due to failing to gross $300 million to break even.
@@andrewbloom7637 We both agree "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" lost a few bucks but not as much as the 2016 female-centric reboot. It didn't bomb too bad though. GA coulda and shoulda done better business. Right now Sony will not reveal how much they lost promoting GA but stick around.
He was the perfect person to be in charge of this franchise, alongside Dan Aykroyd, for all these years. There was something that he brought that would have been sorely missing with anyone else at the helm (or at least helping steer the ship.) He successfully handed the torch down to the next generation and I feel genuinely grateful that his influence will be felt for a long time to come.
Oh man, I am so glad he was able to see his franchise vindicated. Almost as if his business here was over, and he was finally able to move on.
May Ivan Reitman rest in peace, what an amazing director he was 😔
RIP Ivan Reitman. He will be missed and my condolences go out to his family. I'm glad they finished making and released Ghostbusters: Afterlife in theaters before he passed away.
It had a huge impact on me watching his movies as a kid in the 80s. Especially the fantastic Ghostbusters. Rest in peace the legend Ivan Reitman.
He helped give us one last gift before he passed. Respect.
This completely breaks my heart. I finally got to be a ghostbuster for Halloween last year and just a couple days ago I finally showed my family the whole series
I've grown up with Ghostbusters and as I got older I've experienced his other flims with such delight. It hurts my heart hearing this tragic news. Best wishes towards his family and his journey into the afterlife. I know him and Harold and meeting at long last. Thank you Ivan, for everything.
As an OG GB fan, it is one of the most devastating news we could ever get.
I extend my condolences to anyone who's life's been blessed either by Reitman's presence or by watching his movies.
As heart breaking as this is, I take comfort knowing he didn't seem to suffer and was able to see as close to a Ghostbusters 3 made and released.
Let's celebrate him and his legacy.
*He worked on so many good movies but the ones I recognize him for are the Ghostbusters ones. He was as important as the original cast, him, Dan and Harold are the ones who started it all, he's one of my childhood heroes and to think that's he's gone is just unbelievable. I'm glad that he got to work on Ghostbusters: Afterlife with his son Jason Reitman, I give my condolences to his family, friends and other fans. May he Rest In Peace.*
I have no words… A great man who made me loving the 2 ghostbusters movies when I was 5 years old… I have so much respect to him, he showed me what’s great about fiction sciences! For more than 10 years, I am a big fan of the Ghostbusters franchise and recently I watched for like more than 20 times the third movie from Jason lol. Rest In Peace and everyone shows love to his family!
RIP Ivan Reitman 😭😭😭😢😢😢 Im So Sad
He did a really great job on his movies and Ghostbusters: Afterlife with his son. R.I.P we will miss you
The beautiful thing is he got to make a new Ghostbusters movie but with his son and save the franchise he loved so much. He lived an incredible life.
Thank you for everything good sir. Off into that good night.
Ivan Reitman seemed to cherish the fans of ghostbusters. Every interview I've ever seen with him he always spoke fondly of the community. It never came off as a chore for him to talk about ghostbusters and that just warms my heart. He is a huge reason why the franchise has been as good as it is. Not only did he direct the first 2 movies, he also served as a consultant for The Real Ghostbusters as well as a producer of the new movie.
It was fitting that he stood in for Harold. Now the two are reunited.
I cried in tears like I was in an actual funeral because this man helped me with my fears as a kid
I'm so heart broken RIP we're going to miss you
So sad for this loss of a producer, director, father and grandfather. Too young, he will be missed.
Apparently he was also the stand-in for Egon in the final scenes of Afterlife; Egon's likeness was superimposed digitally. If that's true then the scene just hit way harder than it did couple of months ago.
Either way a great director If only because of Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2. Lots of people owe this man a huge bit of their childhood. RIP
Oh no, Prayers go out to family and friends and RIP Mr. Reitman , His work gave me such a wonderful childhood that I'll always owe him for.
We love you ivan thanks for all the ghostbusters
He hoped he was alright in the afterlife... God... this makes me cry, he was a very talented man. I hope his family is doing well.
It was a big shock to me when I heard the news. My condolences to his family. His films were very entertaining and memorable. He, along with Dan and Harold, captured lightning in a bottle with Ghostbusters. The fact that he produced and work with his son Jason on Ghostbusters: Afterlife and brought it to us as a gift for fans with that loving tribute to Harold is just heartwarming. Thanks Ivan, rest in peace.
So sad to hear this news, all I can say is, "Thank you for Ghostbusters, it's been a big part of my life, and I'm a huge fan." Thank you for the memories, Rest in peace, Ivan. 😔
Devastating news. My deep condolences to the Reitman family. :(
Ghostbusters: Afterlife was truly his swan song and it was the last film he produced; with the torch passed to his son, Jason, Ivan's legacy will forever live on with him.
R.I.P. Ivan Reitman. Thank you for everything.
May Ivan rest in peace, my condolences to his family. He was an amazing movie director, he will be missed.
I will always remember Ivan, how can I not
Rest in peace Ivan this is a sad day to be a Ghostbusters fan this broke me really hard
the man who directed Ghostbusters and ghostbusters 2 will never forever be not forgotten rip
I'm so sad to hear about this. Rest in peace Ivan, and thank you for introducing us to one of the greatest franchises ever✌️🚫👻
I'm sorry that this happened I'm glad he had got to see his son make a great ghostbusters sequel to his original ghostbusters movies
This just breaks me man. I love the ghostbusters films and it’s utterly saddening to hear he died

I'm sad to hear of his passing and offer my condolences to his family. It does make me feel better knowing that his final film he worked on was together with his son for Ghostbusters, the legacy film he started.
I never met the man, I barely knew of him.
And yet this news just breaks my heart.
Thanks for all the good movies, Ivan. You will be missed.
May he rest in peace. Ghostbusters made me who I am along with his other great films. He has done the work of 10 men in his lifetime.
Thank you Ivan for giving the world "Ghostbusters" and may you rest well. See you in the next life. God Bless.
This is heartbreaking news. God bless you Ivan, Thank you for the memories and Ghostbusters will forever be in mine and everyone's hearts.You made my childhood. Rest in peace 🙏 ❤

I was so confused this morning.. I woke up to an extreme amount of notifications, I was very confused on what had happened. I looked at one of them and seen “Ivan Reitman”. I felt a sick feeling in my stomach, and a sudden sink inside my heart. Ammon Murphy Had texted me what happened. I bursted out crying. He will be remembered greatly. ❤️🙏 R.I.P.
He got one last gem in before he pasted and helped his son give us afterlife rip will be sorely missed 😞
The man will always be remembered as the man who brought us Ghostbusters. Rest in Peace Ivan, we'll always remember your work, always. 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
RIP Ivan! Thanks for making my childhood so special with your films.
heart goes out to the full family. his legend will live on for decades.
No matter how sad all of this feels, it brings me happiness to think that one of the last things Ivan got to experience in his life, was to see and witness the great success of his son, in the form of Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
😭😭😭 R.I.P Mr.Reitman
At least he got to see his boy make afterlife an gave the fans a true sequel to one of the best movie series of own time.
Thank you Ivan R.I.P
Thank you for your great stories and movies. We come to this channel every day because of you. RIP Mr. Reitman.
I’m so sad
I can't believe it. Glad I got to see him at NYCC. He was funny
My condolences to his family and his fellow cast and crew members of the Ghostbusters, he’ll be miss, but never be forgotten RIP Ivan Reitman
I cried a few times today… Ivan, your entertainment… Shaped a generation… An extremely select few have earned that rare accomplishment.. And you, Mr. Reitman, did so with absolute heart and style. You’ve touched the hearts of so very many. Personally, whenever there was darkness in my life.. No matter how difficult.. your works never failed to bring the brightness.. the joy, laughter, and cherishment that taught me to hold on in this sometimes difficult world we live in.. just even that second longer. You will be TRULY missed and forever REMEMBERED. Rest In Peace.
I practically grew up watching his movies. Rip and thank you.
RIP Ivan, thank you for making my childhood in 80s a wonderful decade
Ghostbusters, an Ivan Reitman production, was the first movie I saw in theaters.
RIP and thank you for introducing me to the magic of films.
Thank Mr Ivan Reitman for all your movies
Ivan will be surely missed by the people who knew him met him and loved him through his movies my condolences to Jason and The others at this time Ivan will never walk alone godspeed -and thank you for the memories
Ivan Reitman is gone, but he left us with the ghostbusters franchise saved and in good hands with his son. I will never forget that momment in afterlife were egon is huging his daugter before disappearing. Now i think of ivan and his son doing that same scene, as if ivan himself is passing the torch to his son on films and ghostbusters.
I'm glad he got to see his son's work before he passed. Prayers for the family...RIP
He is always going to have a special place in my heart. Growing up with all of his films as a child of the 80's there is not one of his movies that I have yet to see.
Breaks my heart. I’ll severely miss him!
Not only was a huge part in giving us the fantastic world Ghostbusters, but also as mentioned Kindergarten Cop, Twins, Lampoons, and so many more fantastic things.
Thank You so much Ivan! I’ll miss you very much and will always remember you.
Heartbreaking news. Ghostbusters was a big part of my life growing up in the 80's watching all those amazing movies that brought up smiles, awe and laughter like BTTF, The Goonies, ET, Indiana Jones, Star Wars,, Ferris Beauller, Tron, Ghostbusters I&II and other great movies. RIP Ivan,
RIP Ivan Reitman he gave us one of the most beloved franchises of all time and will never be forgotten. May his legacy live on in our hearts.
Like a lot of people will say, Ghostbusters is my lifetime favourite movie. I don't even remember seeing it for the first time. It's always been there and my go-to for almost every mood. Waking up to the news this morning broke my heart.
Had the pleasure of meeting him and getting his praise on my pack build. Super nice man, made some epic films and work. Love ya rest in peace!
He created totally a legacy that will continue for years, now it's Jason's turn to continue this Reitman's legacy
Tragic. But you know what? It's also so sweet. He made the movies that made the child hoods of so many, and his son gets to carry his legacy forward. I'm so thankful for the fact that Ivan Reitman got to see Afterlife, he will never be forgotten.
That man was truly a comedy visionary, his legacy will always live on through the iconic movies he gifted to the world, may he Rest In Peace. He’s up in the heavens now probably chatting with Harold Ramis and Michael C. Gross.
I’ve had the privilege of meeting Ivan and Jason Reitman, it was at the 2019 LA Fan Fest. While I was there with my brother and dad, we knew we had to autographs from the cast and crew. We got Aykroyd, Hudson, William Atteren, Paul Feig and Ray Parker Jr. The funny thing is, we got autographs from the Reitmans, but my brother kinda had to chase them down whenever we found them. We were nice about it, they were nice about it, and I happily have that sheet of autographs hanging in my room.
I’m happy I got to see the director of my all time favorite movie before he peacefully crossed over.
