Twisters had a very poor overseas but why ??? maybe no Bill Paxton who kind of had 'Star-Power' also a lot of cultures don't get the whole Hurricane, Tornado thing, I know they have Typhoons in Japan or Vietnam, Philippines the Japanese have storms and tsunami but that is not a big cinema market anyways...Beetlejuice what kind of staying power will the remake of a 1988 movie have
1988 is also a big generation cap
Bryan Singer X-Men is a 2000 American superhero film
X-Men First Class 2011
the R-rated dark comedy Deadpool is a 2016 American superhero
Deadpool & Wolverine is 2024
...each generation updated
same with the Batman's
Adam West and Cartoons
Burton Batman
Christopher Nolan Batman
Justice League...Snyder Cut vs. Joss Whedon
same with the Spider-Mans
Bond
Harry Potters etc
but there are generations gaps that work and they did pull it off with 'Top Gun' remake
I think maybe it struggles overseas, not sure
WB seems to have no intention of advertising it overseas and says it is already going on digital for Streaming at end of September or in October...which will kill chances of cash in overseas cinema markets
the cash and numbers Beetlejuice...Australia - $2.6M, Spain - $2.5M, Italy - $1.7M
Brazil - $1.2M
the French and British numbers should be much better when they come in
Beetlejuice another factor I did not consider '1988' a bunch of people behind the Iron Curtain might have missed it and don't get the Western Nostalgia
Calypso music
Harry Belafonte hated Trump but he had catchy tunes including for Beetlejuice - Day-o ...the Banana Boat Song...the Caribbean mix a Scottish Jamaican mother and an Afro-Jamaican father, and his father was the child of an Afro-Jamaican mother and a Dutch-Jewish performed in many genres, including blues, folk, gospel...I know Blues and Rock started to be popular in Eastern Europe as kids copied and smuggled old cassette tapes.
a call and response work song, from the point of view of dock workers working the night shift loading bananas
There was the Queen movie 'Bohemian Rhapsody' in recent years and maybe people know Freddie Mercury of Queen improvised his famous call and response at Live Aid from the beginning of Day-O.
with the internet people can now catch up with pop culture they missed from whatever part of the world
meanwhile Romulus hit $100M in China! ...compared to Alien Romulus in France ($11.3M) and Mexico ($8.2M).

Yeah good call there, that star Betelgeuse red 'Alpha Orionis' in the constellation of Orion, usually the tenth-brightest star in the night sky ...the name is a weird mix of Latin and Arab mythology and might be an incorrect spelling of other names which evolved, it seems to link to fighting or storms or wars or planet Mars that derives its name from a Roman war god, but there are Hindu and Chinese and Persia and Japanese interpretations for the star that were different but similar, there was also a French Oil Tanker and two US World War II vessels, which had the name 'Betelgeuse'.
The star they think it might blow up and radiate near by systems some time, but you never get a straight answer even at NASA they don't know.

Money easily recouped. $264,406,079 worldwide after 10 days, or a profit above $16 Million already. Unfortunate that it doesn't appear they'll get much money overseas for this though. Really strange seeing the difference between the Domestic and International take on this one sitting at 71%/29%.

That isn't any different than what I figured I'd say about the sequel when they first announced it. A lot of other people who have seen it say otherwise. I'll reserve my own judgement until I see it. My old man is going to take my brother to see it later this week, so I'll have more input and he and I agree on most things when talking cinema.

Yeah. It sucks man. He must be a Republican Trumptard. I've heard many times on good authority that Democrats don't get old and they live forever because they never sin.

Trump ignored warnings from Secret Service about security risks posed by golfing
Soon after Donald Trump became president, authorities tried to warn him about the risks posed by golfing at his own courses because of their proximity to public roads. Secret Service agents came armed with unusual evidence: not suspect profiles or spent bullet casings, but simple photographs taken by news crews of him golfing at his private club in Sterling, Va.
They reasoned that if photographers with long-range lenses could get the president in their sights while he golfed, so too could potential gunmen, according to former U.S. officials involved in the discussions who, like most others interviewed for this story, spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.
But Trump insisted that his clubs were safe and that he wanted to keep golfing, the former officials said. These preferences posed problems for his protection that former Trump aides, Secret Service officials and security experts said have only intensified in the years since he left the White House, as his security detail shrank and agents no longer maintained as extensive a perimeter guarding his movements. A Trump spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.

The cartoon wasn't a sequel. It was its own thing.
The two main characters were never in the cartoon and nobody in the cartoon ever once referenced Alec Baldwin or Gina Davis. It was a story from an alternative universe before anybody outside of true Sci-Fi nerds ever talked about such a thing.
Also, they made Beetlejuice a good guy and he and Lydia were best friends. Not the behavior you'd think a teenage girl would be displaying towards a literally crusty, horny old man who who would have put her in shackles as his sex-slave wife.
Beetlejuice was more of a supernatural cartoon clone of Dr. Who. than a sequel to Beetlejuice the movie. It has more in common with Rick and Morty than it does Beetlejuice the movie.
The people at Screen Rant probably hate the movie because they hate Jenna Ortega for not pushing all their woke bullshit. That's alright. She'll still be making lots of money long after they're all laid off and Screen Rant finally folds.

Quote:You are fond of this cartoon. Are you young enough to have watched the Beetlejuice cartoons as a child? I'm from the Yogi Bear, Rocky and Bullwinkle generation. When the shows were new, not reruns decades later.

I could take it or leave it. My brothers and I didn't care much for the cartoon because it had nothing to do with the movie. I remember watching it though so it probably came on at a time when the stuff on the other channels was less interesting.

I saw the movie when I was a child. I think the cartoon came out when I was in Jr. High and ended after I was in high school.

Went to a Jellystone Park all the time when I was a kid, so Yogi Bear was a big part of my childhood. Never was much of a fan of things that Hanna Barbara did outside of that though just because it looked so cheap compared to the cartoons I was watching on Saturday mornings and the Disney Afternoon, Thudercats, The Real Ghostbusters, etc.

The cartoon had a really cool intro though. You could tell they put a lot of money into that vs. the regular animation. I think I heard that Tim Burton made that intro, but I might be misremembering things.
