Total Estimated Earnings
Based on this base rate of $5,000 per job, the group's financial metrics during the first movie include:
The Montage Revenue: Assuming they maintained this $5,000 standard across the roughly 9 distinct jobs hinted at during their peak month of business, they generated approximately $45,000 in a five-week span.
The Modern Equivalent: Adjusted for inflation, a single $5,000 ghost-busting job in 1984 would cost a commercial client roughly $14,500 to $15,000 today.
Best Ghost Busting: Slimer at the Sedgwick Hotel. Their first and most successful. With Silmer becoming an iconic ghost.
And in the animated series, friend and mascot!
Worst Ghost Busting: Peter. “He slimed.”
Most scariest ghost: There are but Gozer the Gozerian. All almost of the ghosts in the film, are scary.
Least scariest: The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is universally considered the least scary ghost or entity in the 1984 film.
Despite being a 100-foot-tall harbinger of destruction meant to wipe out humanity, his appearance is modeled after a harmless, smiling corporate mascot.
Survivors: Dr. Peter Venkman, Dr. Egon Spangler, Louis Tally, Dr. Ray Stantz, Winston Zeddmore, Jeanie Melnitz, Walter Peck, Mayor of New York City, and Dana Barrett
