As a gamer who’s been around the block more times than I care to count, I can confidently say that the success of Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice sequel has left me utterly spellbound! The fact that it doubled the entire theatrical gross of the original in just one weekend is a feat so unprecedented, it feels like I’ve just rolled a critical hit in an RPG.
This weekend saw the much-anticipated release of Tim Burton’s sequel to Beetlejuice, and it has proven to be a massive hit at the box office. The film, with its catchphrase “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice“, has earned an impressive $111 million domestically, making it only the third movie this year to open with over $100 million in North America. When you factor in its international earnings, the new Beetlejuice has made a staggering $147 million in its debut weekend. This figure is all the more impressive when you consider the success of the original movie.
1988’s “Beetlejuice” has firmly cemented itself as a cultural icon and a significant piece of film history. Over time, it has been well-received, but when first released, it was merely a moderate box office hit, raking in approximately $74 million. This revenue was enough to recoup theater costs, yet it didn’t achieve blockbuster status.
Comparing the two sets of figures, it’s evident how popular the film “Beetlejuice” has grown over time. In a mere weekend, the new movie “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” has already doubled the entire box office earnings of its predecessor in total. Give that a moment to process. The sequel to “Beetlejuice” managed to make twice as much as the original did in its entire run, just within three days.
Indeed, today’s films generally earn higher revenues compared to the 1980s, yet achieving such remarkable success with a sequel, particularly for the second part of a series, is quite unprecedented.
Apart from the positive reviews the film Beetlejuice Beetlejuice has garnered, it’s also bolstered by the comeback of the beloved stars from the first movie. Fans have eagerly anticipated the return of Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O’Hara in this sequel. Additionally, they’ll be joined by a stellar cast of new faces, such as Jenna Ortega, Willem Dafoe, Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, and Danny DeVito.
You can check out the official synopsis for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice below.

With trouble brewing in both realms, it’s only a matter of time until someone says Beetlejuice’s name three times and the mischievous demon returns to unleash his very own brand of mayhem.”
