Following The Success Of ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,’ Will There Be A ‘Beetlejuice 3’?
Naturally, when a film like Beetlejuice Beetlejuice experiences big success in theaters worldwide, it’s not unusual for a studio like Warner Bros. to examine the possibility of a sequel.
However, director Tim Burton already put the kibosh on the idea of a Beetlejuice 3 happening about a week before Beetlejuice 2 opened in theaters.
Using the timespan between the release of 1988’s Beetlejuice and 2024’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice as a guide, Burton said the numbers weren’t in favor of another film about “The Ghost with the Most” happening.
“Well, if [the same] time frame goes on, I’ll be about 100. So maybe. I doubt it,” Burton told The Hollywood Reporter at the film’s U.K. premiere on August 29.
For those who missed Beetlejuice Beetlejuice in theaters, the film is still available on digital streaming via premium video on demand and recently arrived on 4K, Blu-ray and DVD.
Rated PG, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice—which is written by Burton’s Wednesday collaborators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar and features a score by the director’s longtime collaborator Danny Elfman—will also make its streaming video on demand debut on Max on Friday, December 6.
