Given the optimistic first reactions to the sequel, followers have already begun questioning about Beetlejuice 3. Will it occur? I wouldn’t get your hopes up.

While talking with THR throughout the London premiere, director Tim Burton was requested a couple of potential Beetlejuice 3. “Well, if [the same] time frame goes on, I’ll be about 100,” Burton stated. “So maybe. I doubt it.” As for why now was the proper time for a Beetlejuice sequel, Burton defined that all of it got here right down to Winona Ryder’s character. “Well, because the Lydia character (Ryder) interested me,” Burton stated. “Getting older is the place you begin fascinated about what occurs in life. [She] begins as a cool teenager. Relationships… Do you may have children? What are they like? What do you want? How do you modify? These are all issues that I do know and expertise. So it felt extra proper to make this now, moderately than again in, like, 1989.“

As with most potential sequels, it usually comes right down to the field workplace. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is projected to open massive, with wherever between $65-$80 million. It additionally helps that these first reactions have been so optimistic. Our personal Eric Walkuski was a giant fan. “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is an enjoyable, fast-paced bit of lunacy from Tim Burton that should please the many who’ve waited decades for its arrival. It certainly leans into nostalgia throughout, but it also manages to have some bizarre new tricks up its sleeve; it’s not just another retread playing the Greatest Hits from the original,” Walkuski stated. “The returning characters are a sight for sore eyes, with Keaton and Ryder not lacking a beat reprising their iconic roles, although it’s Catherine O’Hara who completely steals the present as the ever-frenetic Delia. There is perhaps one subplot too many (the movie juggles about three or 4 of them), however general it’s a welcome return to zany kind for Burton.“

Here’s the official synopsis for Beetlejuice Beetljuice: “Beetlejuice is back! After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia’s life is turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid, discovers the mysterious model of the town in the attic and the portal to the Afterlife is accidentally opened. With trouble brewing in both realms, it’s only a matter of time until someone says Beetlejuice’s name three times and the mischievous demon returns to unleash his very own brand of mayhem.” The movie will probably be launched in U.S. theaters on September sixth.
