The long-awaited Tim Burton sequel to 'Beetlejuice' made $110 million in its premiere weekend, marking it the third-best opening weekend of the year.
Goldstein mentioned that many factors had to align for the film's success. He noted that they expected an opening weekend of between $80 million and $90 million.
Dergarabedian highlighted that September is typically not known for blockbuster debuts, but credited Burton's unique style and star-studded cast for the film's triumph.
The original 'Beetlejuice' made $8 million on opening in 1988 but later achieved iconic status, contrasting starkly with its sequel's impressive start.
