Warner Bros. is Releasing Tim Burton’s ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ Early on Demand

Date:

 

Key Takeaways:
– Warner Bros. is releasing Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” on PVOD and digital platforms on October 8, just 33 days after its premiere in theaters.
– Despite losing the top spot after three weeks, the movie is Burton’s second highest grosser domestically with $251M so far.
– The decision for early PVOD release might not sit well with theater owners, as it might hamper the film’s theatrical momentum.

Hey there movie buffs! Have you been waiting for Tim Burton’s spooky charm to hit your screens at home? Well, gear up as you’re in for a surprise. Warner Bros. has just dropped a bombshell – “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice”, the much-anticipated sequel from the eccentric visionary director, will be available on PVOD (Premium Video on Demand) and digital platforms from October 8! You got that right! That’s just 33 days after it was released in theaters. Bet you weren’t expecting that!

The Squabble for the Top Spot

“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” had a dream run for three solid weeks after its release, staying put at the #1 spot of box office charts. But last weekend, it had to pass the baton to DreamWorks’ “The Wild Robot” which opened to a smashing $35M. However, don’t let this shift in spots fool you, our ghostly friend still has much to celebrate.

Domestic Box Office Victory for Burton

Even though “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” had to step down from its top position, it had something bigger to boast about. After raking in a whopping $251M, it has now become Burton’s second highest-grossing movie at the domestic box office. Now that’s something worth throwing a party in the afterlife for, don’t you think?

The Surprise PVOD Release and Theaters

The concept of PVOD wasn’t much of a thing until the recent pandemic, when cinema-goers had to swap theater experiences for at-home premieres. While earlier, it used to take several weeks, even months for big-screen flicks to reach our smaller, home screens, the wait time is significantly lower these days. However, the news of Warner Bros. deciding to bump up the home premiere for “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” just a little over a month after its theatrical release is surprising, to say the least.

What does this mean for the theatrical run of the film? While “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” still has a promising run at the box office, releasing it on PVOD in just seven days could trip its momentum, costing it potential earnings in theaters. As for the theater operators, they probably have mixed feelings, to put it mildly. Early PVOD releases, while great for viewers who prefer the comfy confines of their home to watch a movie, might not be welcome news for the exhibitors.

So, as we anticipate the release of “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” on digital platforms on October 8, we are left wondering if this early release model will become a trend. As for the movie goers, whether you plan to watch it at your local movie theater or cozy up on your couch at home – make sure you don’t miss out on Burton’s latest creation.

No matter what happens, it’s clear that the spooky and charming world of “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” has etched a place in our hearts and made a significant mark at the box office. Can’t wait to say “Beetlejuice” three times in a row? Get, set, for the ride is about to get spookier!

And remember, in the world of cinema, always expect the unexpected. Sit down with some popcorn and let the movies take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions and surprises. See you at the next reveal, film lovers! Until then, keep the reels rolling!
