box office success for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice has led to many records for director Tim Burton and several actors, as it easily became one of the most financial films in their careers.

Now, according to Collider, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is jumping through Warner Bros.'s all-time box office list, becoming the 25th-highest-grossing movie ever, domestically. The legacy sequel reaches this milestone as it reaches $267 million domestically, which sures Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' $261.9 million. On the other hand, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is currently at $404 million globally.

Why Beetlejuice Beetlejuice's Box Office Success Is A Huge Deal

This Is Redemption For Burton.

Even with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice recently hitting video-on-demand, that hasn't stopped the legacy sequel from making an additional profit, particularly given the perfect occasion of the spooky season. The movie's budget was $100 million, so its current $404 million collection means it's already a massive blockbuster hit for Burton, Warner Bros, and the cast. In addition, the movie has been record-breaking, becoming one of Burton and Keaton's most financially successful movies in their careers.

This is also a huge deal for Burton, whose track record has been inconsistent and underwhelming over the last decade. His 2019 film Dumbo was a box-office disappointment, making $353 million against a $170 million budget. This trend goes further back with 2016's Alice Through the Looking Glass and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, as both performed under expectations. Thus, the overarching success of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is redemption for Burton, especially after he reportedly compromised on the movie's theatrical release in exchange for lowering the sequel's budget.

In a deal with Warner Bros. to put Beetlejuice Beetlejuice into theaters, Burton reportedly agreed to cut the budget by almost $50 million.

Our Take On Beetlejuice Beetlejuice's Continuing Box Office Success

Let's Hope Burton Is Starting A New Trend

With Beetlejuice Beetlejuice in the history books, I now wonder if this brings renewed confidence for Burton and his collaborators to find the next big story. Currently, the filmmaker is focused on Wednesday season 2, with Jenna Ortega. He is also involved with the remake of Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman, but there hasn't been much development since its announcement. Nevertheless, I'm happy that his legacy sequel, which had been in developmental hell for so long, was worthwhile, as Burton seems to be on top of the world again. Now, it is a matter of whether he can extend that streak whenever he is ready to roll the cameras for his next blockbuster.
