It's also one-sided to attribute it's success on here to geekdom and/or nostalgia.
You can make a similar debate for Fight Club, which is one of the more popular movies among the college aged male bracket.
It's geekdom of a different shade. It's not like Fight Club is so widely appreciate outside of that demographic. Fight Club posters find their home on freshmen dorm room walls all across america.

Just incredibly flawed to treat Ghostbusters winning as an upset or miscarriage of justice when it's the more popular and successful movie. Any other claim is unfounded.
