Beetlejuice 2's Box Office Domination: A Huge Milestone for Tim Burton!

Holy moly, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is killing it at the box office! Just one month after its release, Tim Burton's legacy sequel has zoomed past a massive milestone—$275.8 million domestically! This makes it only the fifth film of 2024 to achieve this in North America alone; that alone is impressive, particularly after just six weekends showing just how powerful this film has actually been in a relatively short span of time. This also follows its epic debut at the domestic box office: $111 million, making it the third highest debut of the year. And worldwide, it has soared past $400 million! This epic legacy sequel to that awesome classic 1988 film returns Michael Keaton as the hilarious and chaotic Betelgeuse; now alongside Catherine O’Hara and Winona Ryder and introduces Jenna Ortega to this wacky ensemble. Crazy!

The original Beetlejuice was a total cult classic on a low budget (only about $15 million in 1988; or around $40 million today!). Beetlejuice 2 clearly shows this wasn’t simply nostalgia–This has broken records already. Its massive success proves that there's an undeniable appetite for this film series; showing great resilience within an era when many newer legacy titles actually disappoint their audience members!

This isn’t some random fluke. That domestic box office number of $275.8 million is far beyond its break-even point— generally, it takes two and a half times the production budget, putting its cutoff point around $250 million (based on a production budget of $100 million); meaning that this title has exceeded expectations from many different angles and this kind of massive accomplishment should really be highlighted and mentioned, to underscore the massive level of achievement for the current team; this is made possible only because the initial production was completely worthwhile and created another immensely powerful installment! This only looks at North America– its worldwide box office shows another, far more impressive and much greater number: that $400 million number.

That places it extremely close to beating the earlier Alice in Wonderland's domestic gross; that awesome film from 2010 did well – raking in $334.2 million! That is however still possible for Beetlejuice 2. If it hits those high notes – it becomes the highest-grossing Tim Burton movie domestically. While it may still come up short, we are comparing against previous Tim Burton records – even topping those previously known heights suggests another reason why Beetlejuice 2 is already making massive waves, showing potential that surpasses most recently known records. And let’s not forget this already is far higher than that initial Beetlejuice's haul; its $74.8 million gross of 1988 translates to a higher inflation-adjusted amount – around $202.4 million—yet the newer sequel totally doubles those amounts. What an amazing, epic win for Tim Burton!

The success is huge for Tim Burton too! Recent projects showed critical and commercial weakness, which could lead anyone to worry. Yet this latest masterpiece reverses this downward trend– both with the newer Beetlejuice 2, alongside Netflix's Wednesday (another hit on which Tim Burton collaborated with star Jenna Ortega). This latest film shows that not only did the creative efforts behind this production fully succeed at rekindling an old masterpiece into another huge win – that massive success isn’t something unrelated to its great reception – getting Rotten Tomatoes' Certified Fresh rating of 77%; suggesting another reason that highlights its impact, which includes positive reception across audiences; not simply those critical evaluations but in consumer ratings too; further showing those potential impacts created through this new movie. He's truly proving he’s got staying power.
