The highly anticipated Tim Burton sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice delivers just as much joy and laughs to audiences as the first landed successfully into the green with 110 million now lining Beetlejuice’s pockets. Over the opening weekend, the striped demon turned cash cow surpassed the original film’s lifetime gross of 74.7 million with 42 million made on opening night alone.
For Burton, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is on track to be the directors most profitable film closing in on his previous record of Alice in Wonderland‘s 116 million fast. For stars Jenna Ortega and Winona Ryder this was the largest headline performance for both of them yet, a hands-down success for their growing star power. Micheal Keaton did not break any personal records himself but had fun reprising his role as the zany demon you call for help.
