Beetlejuice Beetlejuice has not only surpassed Twisters’ domestic haul by a significant margin but became the 5th highest-grossing film of the year in North America. The movie is now eyeing the lifetime of Denis Villeneuve’s magnum opus Dune: Part Two, starring Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya in the lead roles. Keep scrolling for the deets.
Dune 2 is the sequel to Villeneuve’s 2021 movie based on Frank Herbert’s novel. It was probably the first blockbuster movie of this year, and a third part is in development. Due to the bad review of Joker 2, people are getting inclined towards the Tim Burton directorial. Soon, it will be the fourth highest-grossing film in the US when it overtakes Denis’ movie.
According to trade analyst Luiz Fernando’s report, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice grossed a solid $7.1 million on its sixth weekend. It registered the biggest 6th 3-day weekend ever for the September release. Although it lost around 168 theatres and hit the digital platforms last Tuesday, the gothic horror movie by Tim Burton experienced a dip of only 30.5% from last weekend.
The movie has crossed the $270 million mark at the box office in North America. Michael Keaton, Jenna Ortega, and Winona Ryder starrer Beetlejuice Beetlejuice has reached $275.6 million cume in the United States. The trade analyst predicts it will beat Dune 2’s $282.1 million US haul next weekend and become WB’s highest-grossing film of the year. It will also become the fourth highest-grossing film of the year behind Despicable Me 4’s $361.00 million; surpassing that is reportedly impossible as this movie is eyeing a $290 million-$305 million run in the US.
The horror comedy has collected $144.70 million at the overseas box office so far, and allied with the $275.6 million domestic box office, the film’s worldwide box office stands at $420.31 million. It was released in the theatres on September 6 and is now available on OTT platforms.
