Tim Burton's long-awaited sequel to his cult classic, Beetlejuice, opens this weekend, and the movie is expected to have a ghoulishly good debut at the box office.

According to the latest estimates (via Deadline), Beetlejuice Beetlejuice should take in around $145 million worldwide (Warner Bros. is anticipating an $80M domestic bow). If this proves to be accurate, the sequel will debut with more than the lifetime gross of the original 1988 movie, which finished its run at $74.6M, unadjusted for inflation.

The chaotic horror comedy should also claim the spot from Marvel Studios' Deadpool and Wolverine, which - despite briefly being dethroned by Alien: Romulus - has remained at #1 for six weekends it's been in theaters.

Do you plan on seeing Beetlejuice Beetlejuice this weekend? You can check out our reaction to the movie below.

Beetlejuice is back! After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia's life is turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid, discovers the mysterious model of the town in the attic and the portal to the Afterlife is accidentally opened. With trouble brewing in both realms, it's only a matter of time until someone says Beetlejuice's name three times and the mischievous demon returns to unleash his very own brand of mayhem.

Burton, a genre unto himself, directs from a screenplay by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar (Wednesday), story by Gough & Millar and Seth Grahame-Smith (The LEGO Batman Movie), based on characters created by Michael McDowell & Larry Wilson. The film’s producers are Marc Toberoff, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, Tommy Harper and Burton, with Sara Desmond, Katterli Frauenfelder, Gough, Millar, Brad Pitt, Larry Wilson, Laurence Senelick, Pete Chiappetta, Andrew Lary, Anthony Tittanegro, Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg executive producing.

Burton’s creatives behind the scenes includes director of photography Haris Zambarloukos (Meg 2: The Trench, Murder on the Orient Express); such previous and frequent collaborators as production designer Mark Scruton (Wednesday), editor Jay Prychidny (Wednesday), Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood (Alice in Wonderland, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Sleepy Hollow), Oscar-winning creature effects and special makeup FX creative supervisor Neal Scanlan (Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Oscar-nominated composer Danny Elfman (Big Fish, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Batman); and Oscar-winning hair and makeup designer Christine Blundell (Topsy-Turvy).

Do people get paid for these reviews? I mean every movie that comes out and bombs people say "it's the greatest movie of the year" "this is is better than anything out this year"... do people really believe or are they expected to say that because they are being bribed essentially? The first Beetlejuice wasn't even that great.

@LysergicMeinbal - no doubt.

D&W's RT score was helped by the shill reviewers for example

@LysergicMeinbal - Do you mean studios paying for good reviews? No. But that doesn't mean there aren't a lot of shills out there who will sell out for a nice premiere invite and some free booze

@vectorsigma - I just can't believe anything people say when it's saying..."This is the greatest thing to ever be created in the history of the planet..no the history of the universe". "The gods came down from heaven and placed this cinema masterpiece into the hands the most amazing cast and crew that has ever existed,anyone who doesn't love this,is a soulless husk. They should be extinguished from existence because they don't understand life".

@MarkCassidy - But don't some studios offer gifts and things and a chance to sit with the cast to watch the movie before anyone else? Is that a thing?
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 9/4/2024, 9:21 AM
@LysergicMeinbal - Yeah... they often fly people out to premieres and give them first dips on interviews, etc. But not everyone plays ball. For example, I was at the Beetlejuice 2 premiere last night. Lovely set up, free drink and food. I thanked the studio and the venue on Insta, and then have my honest reaction on Twitter 😂

@LysergicMeinbal - Mostly the ones I have seen doing the 'greatest ever' I feel are the ones least likely to be paid and just using hyperbolic statements to get attention to their review and maybe included in a TV trailer list of comments thing.

Sure there are sometimes incentives to get critics to attend previews thus write reviews but for actual pro critics rather than all the youtuber types there is more to loose in credibility than there is to gain from goody bags in regard to what they write about films they review...

...the conspiracy theory about paid reviews is never going to go away however as once upon a time that very much the case and may still be isolated cases which feed into it but mostly I'd say, no.

@Apophis71 - ok. So the ones use those statements are just saying it as"clickbait" for the consumers and hopefully have the review added to a commercial or seen by the studio? Which in turn would hopefully turn into something bigger for them?

Apophis71 - 9/4/2024, 9:40 AM
@LysergicMeinbal - Yeh, mostly wannabe critics who want to up their chances the studio will invite them to premieres and/or create clickbait to get more traffic on their site/youtube channel. Any critic worth their salt tend to be honest with reviews even if they get a goody bag and such like.

@MarkCassidy - it is good that you are getting these perks, and imo you are one of the decent reviewers here.

But to outright say there is no bribery involved in this industry is just wrong imo. With social media and all, the name of the game is for a product to trend and that's where the reviewers come in.

@vectorsigma - ...and there will always be shills, nature of the beast. Whenever an article or channel asks your thoughts, but then tell you how they got an advance screening of a particular project...don't you wonder why that is? I do, to an extent. I never like where it leads.

@The1st - exactly. So it is weird for Mark to say

" Do you mean studios paying for good reviews? No. But that doesn't mean there aren't a lot of shills out there who will sell out for a nice premiere invite and some free booze"

I saw it last night, it was fine. Keaton lacks the energy he had before, he feels off. Lydia isn't Lydia anymore. Shes more like Darlene from The Conners. The story is meh. There's alot of fun stuff in it but it isn't going too change the world. They left it open ended for a 3rd but seeing how Keaton is slowing down, they'd have to make it soon.
