Warner Bros. unleashed Tim Burton’s 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' this weekend, tallying up a $145.4M global start. This includes $110M from domestic and $35.4M from 69 international box office markets. The Michael Keaton-starrer secured No. 1 starts in 40 overseas markets including the UK, Mexico, and Australia. Upcoming releases in France, Germany, and Japan are set to boost its performance further. In Latin America, the film was No. 1 everywhere, marking the 3rd best launch for a Burton film ever.

In Europe, it opened ahead of major titles like 'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes' and 'Frozen Empire.'Warner Bros took a strategic approach by launching the movie at the Venice Film Festival and following it up with a London red carpet event. Despite its strong start, international audiences may not carry the same nostalgia for this decades-old classic as domestic viewers. Key markets like the UK grossed $9.6M, marking an 80% increase over 'Frozen Empire.' In Mexico, the film opened with $6.5M, 188% bigger than 'Frozen Empire.' In Australia, it grossed $2.6M, marking a 75% increase over 'Frozen Empire.'

Disney also celebrated new milestones, becoming the first studio to cross $4B in global box office this year with just five wide releases. 'Inside Out 2' has become the No. 8 biggest movie of all time globally with a cume of $1,675.1M, overtaking 'Jurassic World.' Continued success is anticipated for Disney's portfolio with 'Alien: Romulus' grossing $314.4M worldwide and 'It Ends with Us' reaching $309.4M globally. Both films have performed exceptionally well in international markets, with 'Romulus' crossing $100M in China and 'It Ends with Us' topping charts in markets like the UAE.
