‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ Scares Up $110 Million in Second-Biggest September Debut in History

"Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" scared up $110 million in its massive opening weekend.

So although more than three decades have passed since the first film, which follows a devious bio-exorcist from the Netherworld who helps a recently deceased couple haunt the new inhabitants of their former home, the “ghost with the most” hasn’t left the cultural zeitgeist. The sequel is set 36 years later as the daughter of Lydia Deetz (whose family was the subject of the terror in the original) discovers the portal to the Afterlife and accidentally releases everyone’s favorite ghost. The R-rated smash, starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, has generated a mammoth $613 million domestically and $1.25 billion globally.
