Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (aka Beetlejuice 2) has moved past Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on Warner Bros.’s all-time box office list, becoming the 25th-highest-grossing movie ever, domestically, according to Collider.
With a budget of $100 million, the film’s early September release saw a box office of $111 million domestically. The film, which served as a comeback for director Tim Burton, would follow that up with continued box office success, topping the charts for three straight weeks and breaking records Burton and several actors in the film from a financial standpoint.
The film would reach $267 million domestically, surpassing Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets’ $261.9 million and is currently at $404 million globally.
The movie has continued to gross, as it has paired with the Halloween season and is getting new life thanks to it’s recent arrival on video-on-demand, easily becoming one of Burton and star Michael Keaton’s most financially successful movies of their respective careers.
Burton, in particular, has put box office under-perfomers such as 2019’s Dumbo,2016’s Alice Through the Looking Glass and Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children in the rear view.
