It’s showtime for ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ with a $110M opening weekend
Fans of the Michael Keaton character probably won’t have to wait another 36 years for the next sequel.

I’ve seen a lot of “do we actually need this sequel?” going around online when it comes to Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. While we can still have that conversation when it comes to the creative reasons behind the sequel, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’s $110 million opening weekend definitely justified Warner Bros.’ decision on this one.
That $110 million number easily gave Beetlejuice Beetlejuice the third biggest opening weekend of 2024. Only Deadpool & Wolverine ($211.4 million) and Inside Out 2($154.2 million) had bigger debuts.
