Tim Burton, the director of Beetlejuice After making an explosive opening a few weekends ago, the horror-comedy follow-up Beetlejuice is about to surpass a significant domestic box office milestone as it approaches the halfway point of its two-week run. The Beetlejuice The third-biggest weekend of the year, Beetlejuice opened with a startling $111 million and had a fantastic second weekend gross. At the US box office, the film has made $200 million as it heads into its third weekend.
At $198.3 million as of right now, the movie has surpassed the $200 million mark. When Thursday’s numbers are taken into account, Beetlejuice will have made even more money. Throughout the whole run of the movie, the daily gross has never fallen below $2.8 million. Transformers One, an animated picture from Paramount that has received positive reviews and is predicted to bring in little over $30 million in its opening weekend, will present a challenge to Beetlejuice this weekend.
The Beetlejuice Beetlejuice has now become the sixth highest grossing movie of the year, trailing only Twisters, which brought in over $265 million during its incredible domestic run. Approximately $275 million has been made worldwide from Burton’s film. This weekend, it will surpass the $300 million milestone. After Batman, Alice in Wonderland, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, it is now Burton’s fourth-biggest domestic hit. Since Alice in Wonderland, which opened in 2010 and is still the only movie in his catalog to have generated more than $1 billion globally, the director hasn’t had a true hit.
This weekend, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” will reach greater heights.
The Beetlejuice The eagerly awaited Beetlejuice is the follow-up to Burton’s 1988 breakthrough picture, Beetlejuice, which brought in $75 million worldwide on a rumored $15 million budget. Along with a number of series newbies like Justin Theroux, Willem Dafoe, and Jenna Ortega, it reunites Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O’Hara from the first movie. Working with Ortega on the popular Netflix series Wednesday, Burton gained notoriety last year when she starred in Scream VI, which helped the film reach a global gross of $170 million.
