The highly anticipated sequel to Tim Burton’s 1988 classic, Beetlejuice, has made a spectacular entrance at the global box office. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, released on September 6, 2024, has dominated the North American box office with an estimated $110 million from 4,575 screens, marking the second-biggest September opening ever.
This impressive debut also represents the second-biggest opening for director Tim Burton, surpassing his previous record holder, Alice in Wonderland (2010). The original Beetlejuice, released in 1988, opened with a modest $8 million domestic weekend and went on to gross $73.7 million worldwide.
Internationally, the sequel has performed equally well, opening in 69 territories and earning 9.6 million debut, matching the opening of Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The film’s success can be attributed to the return of original cast members Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder, alongside new additions Jenna Ortega, Willem Dafoe, Monica Bellucci, and Arthur Conti.
