As a long-time fan of Tim Burton’s whimsical and macabre masterpieces, I’ve eagerly watched the box office success of “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” with bated breath. From “Edward Scissorhands” to “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” his films have been an integral part of my dark-humored upbringing.
The Tim Burton-directed film “Beetlejuice” has been consistently drawing crowds at cinemas, currently ranking third in terms of all-time box office earnings for Burton’s movies. By the end of today or tomorrow, it’s anticipated that “Beetlejuice” will leapfrog into the second spot, as its gross income of $250.13 million is just shy of “Batman’s” $251.18 million. The only film ahead in this race is Burton’s adaptation of “Alice in Wonderland,” which raked in a staggering $334 million domestically. Globally, the order shifts slightly, with “Alice” leading, followed by “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” “Batman,” and “Beetlejuice.
The sequel to the movie “Beetlejuice” had the second largest opening in Tim Burton’s career, surpassed only by “Alice in Wonderland,” which debuted with $116 million. Additionally, it ranked as the third highest opening weekend of the year, trailing behind “Deadpool & Wolverine” and “Inside Out 2.
In the 21st century, international audiences have significantly increased their influence on Hollywood blockbusters, as shown by global earnings. For instance, “Alice in Wonderland” has grossed over $1 billion worldwide, with a staggering $691 million from international cinemas. Interestingly, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” surpasses “Batman” globally due to its impressive $269 million earnings from international screenings, boosting its total global gross to over $450 million. On the other hand, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” has primarily made its money in North America, with only $123 million coming from international box offices.
In 2013, the film “Beetlejuice,” which was produced for approximately $15 million, earned that same amount within just three weeks from DVD sales, as reported by The Numbers. Interestingly, it’s speculated that the production cost of “Beetlejuice” was closer to $100 million, hinting at a strong belief in the potential success of a sequel by Warner Bros.
Absolutely, Disney experienced a similar situation last year. They invested around $295 million to $387 million in creating an Indiana Jones film, but it only grossed $384 million at the box office. When you factor in marketing costs, the movie needed to make approximately $600 million just to break even, which none of the previous four Indiana Jones films had even approached. In this scenario, a figure closer to $250 million would suffice…and Beetlejuice has already achieved that in North America alone.
Here’s the official synopsis for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice:
The ghostly character Beetlejuice makes a return! Following an unexpected family tragedy, the Deetz family – spanning three generations – find themselves back at Winter River. Even after all this time, Beetlejuice’s presence continues to linger, particularly affecting Lydia. Her daughter, Astrid, a rebellious teenager, stumbles upon a secret model of the town in the attic, accidentally opening a gateway to the Afterlife. As turmoil simmers in both worlds, it seems inevitable that someone will soon call out Beetlejuice’s name three times, summoning the mischievous spirit to wreak havoc with his unique brand of chaos.
