Warner Bros.'s 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' has made a significant impact at the box office, opening with an estimated $110 million domestically and $145.4 million globally. The film, directed by Tim Burton and featuring Jenna Ortega and Winona Ryder, has garnered positive feedback with an 86% verified Rotten Tomatoes audience score and a B+ CinemaScore. It also achieved a $41.5 million opening day, making it only the third film in 2024 to break the $40 million mark on its first day. Premium formats accounted for 33% of the film's business this weekend. 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' dominated the weekend box office, capturing 78% of the entire Top 10 gross. This success marks Tim Burton's second film to debut with over $100 million, the first being 'Alice in Wonderland' with $116 million. Like with 'Top Gun: Maverick,' some 1980s hits can be resurrected with 2020s sequels, if done right.
