The path to bringing Beetlejuice 2 to life revealed

[a_files06]

Warner Bros once pushed to make ‘BEETLEJUICE 2’ for Max but that idea frustrated Tim Burton.

WB said the film was too risky to make for $147M with a theatrical release, so they had to lower the budget to under $100M

The film has already made $250M worldwide.

All the reviews I've read/seen about this film scream underwhelming cash grab-and that's including the positive ones. I'm glad the team that made it work is getting a payday, and I love to see Zaslav with egg on his face, but this sequel was so unnecessary.

Anyway, see y'all in late 2025/early 2026 in the Beetlejuice™️: The CGI Animated Series©️ presented by MAX®️ posts

In the grand scheme of things - what sequels are necessary?

Maverick. It SAVED cinema.

imo: anything that successfully builds upon or exceeds the quality of the source material. for every Aliens, there's an Alien 3

was it necessary? no. did i have a good time? hell ya. the OGs were really the shining stars. the plot was bloated and really didn't need the new characters but I had fun!

Was it "he noticed how profitable the IP was once it got a popularity resurgence due to the musical"

once again proving that movie studios are total idiots

the fact they would only give him $100m is crazy. this is tim burton and beetlejuice. his films always do well.

I saw it this weekend. It was fun and campy. Might be nice to see it again in 4dx on Halloween if it's still in the theaters then
