Warner Bros. wanted to release 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' on their streaming platform Max instead of in theaters, leading to a decade-long delay in the film’s production.
Director Tim Burton successfully negotiated to reduce the film's budget from $147 million to $100 million, allowing it a chance for theatrical distribution.
Despite Warner Bros.' initial hesitation due to Tim Burton's previous box-office failures, 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' became a major success, grossing over $264 million.
Producers and stars agreed to reduced upfront payments in exchange for a profit cut, making them vested stakeholders in the film's financial success.
