Beetlejuice Beetlejuice: A Box Office Spectacle

Moviegoers are absolutely enchanted by the return of Tim Burton's whimsical world in "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice".

This brings its North American gross to an impressive $188 million, with a global total of $264.3 million. Talk about a spooky success! 🎃

The Competition: Speak No Evil and More

While "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" continues to reign supreme, other films are also making their mark. "Speak No Evil", a horror flick starring James McAvoy, secured the second spot with $11.5 million. This remake of a Danish horror film has been well-received, thanks to its strategic release on Friday the 13th.

In third place, "Deadpool & Wolverine" continues to draw crowds, adding another $5.2 million to its already massive earnings. This Disney and Marvel blockbuster has now amassed $621.5 million in North America and $1.3 billion globally. 🦸‍♂️

Conservative Doc 'Am I Racist?' Cracks Top 5

One of the more surprising entries in the top five is the Daily Wire's mockumentary "Am I Racist?". This film, which follows conservative columnist Matt Walsh as he goes undercover as a DEI trainee, earned $4.7 million from just 1,517 theaters. Directed by Justin Folk, this film is a follow-up to Walsh's 2022 exploration of gender ideologies in "What is a Woman?".

Rounding out the top five is "Reagan", starring Dennis Quaid as the former president. This film added another $3 million to its domestic total, bringing it to $23.3 million. Meanwhile, Dave Bautista's action comedy "The Killer's Game" debuted in sixth place with $2.6 million. Despite its dismal reviews, it managed to make a mark.

Limited Releases and Upcoming Films

In limited release, Amazon MGM Studios rolled out the Sundance breakout "My Old Ass", starring Maisy Stella. This coming-of-age movie made $171,242 from just seven theaters and is set to expand nationwide on Sept. 27.
