2024 Box Office - Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Opening Weekend

[@BeyondTheTrailer]

Okay, since this is so late, a little behind the scenes peek! After a tough weekend, I started working on this at 7:30pm - and just finished now at 2:15am... So as you can see, it takes about 7 hours to make Movie Math especially because, filming at night, I riffed a little and it's a 41 minute video. Hehe

Alien romulus budget was 80million. & it made 300million world wide. Disney would definitely want a sequel

[@willpina]

The only reason why I think Disney might want to sell the Alien franchise is because to them, they're only a single facet property. Meaning that they can only profit from Movies. Unlike Star Wars and Marvel where there's merchandising and theme park related ways to profit.

Alien Romulus director said Disney wants him to do more Alien movies on “the perfect organism” podcast.

[@M24071]

Yeah i doubt Disney would sell Alien off, Romulus was profitable enough for them to keep going i would say an AVP movie would be a good move since alverez also said he would love to do it

[@jordanmatthewstelck]

Don't kid yourself. Alvarez has nothing else lined up right now; what else would he say? Contrary to what you might think, from a business standpoint, Romulus did NOT perform well. There's a massive difference between box office success and people talking very loudly about a film. Romulus needed to beat Prometheus numbers in order to warrant any kind of sequel that involves Alvarez's return, and it didn't. There's no gray area here. The ONLY thing Disney has its eye on now that is Alien-related is the upcoming TV series, Alien: Earth. If that turns out to be a success, we MIGHT end up getting another film in the near future, but it would most likely be from Ridley and/or direct to Hulu. Even then, if the show is successful, Disney might not be inclined to give us another film over simply renewing the series.

[@JR-sj1jz]

​@jordanmatthewstelck Prometheus had a star cast. Guy Pearce, Idris Alba, Charlie Theron and Fassbender. Also wasn't Romulus supposed to have originally been meant for streaming. Why would Disney expect Romulus to do better at the box office when it was movie originally meant for streaming, had less star power amongst it's cast and a smaller budget? Doesn't quite compute that.

[@jordanmatthewstelck]

@@JR-sj1jz It actually does. Prey was a success and they assumed Romulus would also. It was a fair assumption, I suppose, but knowing Alvarez's track record would've made me second guess doing a theatrical release. Aside from Evil Dead, his work has not performed well at the box office.

[@JR-sj1jz]

@jordanmatthewstelck still doesn't compute. And comparing it to Prey makes even less sense to me because that was a streaming movie. It wasn't a cinema release. So I don't understand how Prey's success as a streaming movie leads to an expectation for Romulus getting more than Prothemeus at the box office.

Idk what Grace is talking about, considering Prometheus came out 12 years ago and made barely over 400mil on a 120-30mil budget and Romulus manages to make close to 350mil with an 80 mil budget is a huge win, especially after Covenant. If anything the Apes franchise is showing diminishing returns really.

Internationally the movie is a massive flop and this coming weekend Transformers One starts its international roll out. So Beetlejuice 2 domestic is going to have to do some massive carrying. Also Disney isn't seeling anything. Romulus is going to end up being more profitable than any flop Disney has put out between 2020 and 2024.

I think it would be stupid for Disney to sell Apes and Alien. While neither of those movies made a huge splash at the box office, both saw relative success so there is some kind of audience willing to watch these. If I were Disney, I would invest in one more installment for each to test if this momentum is really there, instead of selling and letting another studio potentially get that win. Both haven’t had a new installment since before COVID, so they’re gonna need time to get back off the ground. I think both are very strong IP that Disney could really take advantage of.

I really loved The Garfield movie.

It feels like they marketed beetlejuice a lot + low overseas is worrying. Can it be another twisters? i hope, unlike twisters, it actually breaks even in theatrical window

Sorry to hear about your crazy weekend grace. Thank you for all your hard work and for giving us movie math!

I always get a little anxious when Grace doesn't post on Sunday. All is right in the world again. Whew!😅

This may be one of my favorite movie maths ever 😂💓
