Ahead of the release of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire in theaters on March 22, Sony Pictures launched an AR campaign on Snapchat featuring two augmented reality Lenses and a video ad.

The AR Slimer Lens allows users to answer a fake video call from Trevor, a character in the film played by Finn Wolfhard.
