“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” Claims Third Weekend at the Box Office

In a remarkable run, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” continues to dominate the North American box office, securing the top spot for the third consecutive weekend. The film, a follow-up to Tim Burton's beloved 1988 horror comedy, brought in $26 million in ticket sales, as estimated by studios on Sunday.

Hot on its heels was the animated release “Transformers: One,” which garnered $25 million. This new take on the Optimus Prime story features a star-studded voice cast, including Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, and Scarlett Johansson.

The Warner Bros. release, featuring the return of Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder, has exceeded $226 million in domestic earnings over its three-week run. It kicked off with a stunning $110 million opening—ranking as the third-best debut of the year—followed by a strong second weekend with $51.6 million.

In third place, the horror film “Speak No Evil,” starring James McAvoy, earned $5.9 million in its second week, bringing its total to $21.5 million.

Overall, the box office has entered a quieter phase, but excitement is building for the upcoming release of “Joker: Folie à Deux,” set to hit theaters on October 4.

Remaining in the top five, “Deadpool & Wolverine” continued its impressive performance in its ninth weekend, earning an additional $3.9 million and totaling $627 million domestically. Only Pixar's “Inside Out 2” has surpassed it in earnings this year.

The body horror film “The Substance,” starring Demi Moore and directed by Coralie Fargeat, made waves at the Cannes Film Festival and opened in sixth place with $3.1 million on limited screens.

In seventh place, the Daily Wire documentary “Am I Racist?” maintained its presence in the top 10, raking in $2.9 million for a two-week total of $9 million.
