Beetlejuice Beetlejuice has had a fantastic theatrical run, recently beating out Dumbo to become Tim Burton's highest-grossing film in over a decade. There were a few doubts about its potential, but from the onset, the Ghost with the Most defied expectations by sustaining strong legs at the box office and is still going strong. Its cumulative worldwide gross now stands at over $375 million against its roughly $100 million budget, numbers that have pushed Burton up the elite list of the world's highest-grossing filmmakers of all time. The afterlife ghost is now ready to head home with a digital purchase date set for October 8, right in time for Halloween. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will also be available to own on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD from online and physical retailers on November 19.
The long-awaited sequel to 1988's award-winning Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice sees Burton reunite with original star Michael Keaton who returns to reprise the iconic titular role. The story picks up three decades after the first film where Lydia Deetz is now grown up and has even become a mother, yet, Beetlejuice still lusts for her and again sets out to haunt her. When we meet Lydia, she is thriving as the host of a supernatural TV talk show, but not for long as the death of her father sees the Deetz family travel home to Winter River for his funeral. Things take a darker turn for the family when Lydia's estranged daughter Astrid accidentally opens the portal to the Afterlife. "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."
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice has impressed critics, with Collider's Martin Tsai, in his review deeming it a return to form for Burton. In addition to Keaton, both Winona Ryder and Catherine O'Hara return to reprise their roles as Lydia Deetz and Delia Deetz respectively. The sequel welcomes new characters portrayed by an impressive A-list cast, including Justin Theroux (The Leftovers), Monica Bellucci (The Matrix films), and Arthur Conti (House of the Dragon) in his feature film debut. Also starring are Emmy nominee and Wednesday star Jenna Ortega as Lydia's daughter, Astrid, and Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe (Poor Things) who plays ghost detective Wolf Jackson.
