Beetlejuice 2 Opening Box Office Weekend
- Sep 6, 2024, Worldwide
Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice….. Beetle… don’t say it three times!
Fans of Tim Burton and his deep and dark way of making movies have been buzzing since the announcement that the Beetlejuice movie from 1988 was getting a sequel. Historically, Burton has not been a fan of making sequels, and with the return of Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder, it is set to be nothing short of an epic follow-up to the goth cult classic.
So, how much is Beetlejuice 2 going to pull in over its opening weekend starting on September 6, 2024?
1xBet odds at 4 predict a 25% chance that Beetlejuice 2 will have takings of 100.5 million dollars over its opening weekend. To place a bet or to view the current Odds now, click HERE.
Will Beetlejuice 2 Be a Hit?
It is a Burton movie and is based on a cult classic, which, while popular, will probably not have the same lure as other movies.
However, it’s worth looking at the original Beetlejuice to get an idea of how popular this movie can be. Released in 1988 on the opening weekend Beetlejuice pulled in $8,030,897. In modern conversions, that equates to well over $100 million today.
It’s also worth exploring how much of a fan following Beetlejuice has in 2024. Michael Keaton made the movie and, with the amazing Winona Ryder once again playing Lydia Deetz, this has attracted an array of publicity from men’s fashion all the way to merchandise based around the sequel, which has proved to be extremely popular, even though the movie has not been released yet. With the addition of Jenna Ortega as Astrid, Lydia’s daughter, it is a popular cast. If you aren’t sure who Jenna Ortega is, she starred as Wednesday Addams in the Burton remake of the Addams Family.
So, will it hit the mark and have a successful opening weekend?
Chances of $100 Million On Opening
There are many online reviewers and film producers who state that the release of Beetlejuice 2 will be likely to deliver a $100 million opening weekend. An assessment from Deadline showcases that the release of this movie will ‘un-shockingly’ top this prediction due to its popularity and based on insider tracking numbers.
It’s a popular franchise, but is it $100 million popular? For comparison, other movies that have had such successful weekend openings include Jurassic World, The Lion King, Incredibles 2, Beauty and the Beast, and Barbie. Only one of these is a direct sequel, with Jurassic World being part of a larger franchise, and none of them have fallen into the somewhat cult classic/goth cliche or grouping as Beetlejuice has. Will it match up? Let’s hope the fans with the thick eyeliner and pinstripe suits turn out in droves! If you want to place a bet that it will do well, keep an eye on social media groups to get an idea of how popular (or lackluster) this film release is on the Burton movie fan groups.
If you think that Beetlejuice 2 will make less than 100.5 million dollars on its opening weekend, you could win £120 by placing a bet of £100 at 1xBet today if it does.
