Polymarket Lets Movie Fans, Crypto Holders Predict The Outcome > Fans of the classic film "Beetlejuice" eagerly anticipate the release of the sequel "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" this weekend. A prediction market allows fans to wager on its box office performance, with estimates suggesting it could exceed previous September records. Predictions indicate that the film might gross between $30 million to $45 million domestically, surpassing the $30.3 million record set by the original "It" in 2017. The movie's strong presales and broad release in over 4,500 theaters are expected to support Warner Bros. Discovery as they look to recover from recent struggles in their film unit. Fans of the cult-classic film "Beetlejuice" are eagerly awaiting the release of "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" in theaters this weekend. A prediction market allows movie fans and crypto holders to wager on how much money the sequel from **Warner Bros. Discovery** WBD will gross at the box office. **What Happened**: The sequel, which is based on the 1988 film, brings several of the same characters back along with original director **Tim Burton.** "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" is expected to have an opening box office of $100 million to $110 million domestically and a global opening weekend of $145 million, as reported by Deadline. The domestic prediction would make the film one of the highest-grossing opening movies domestically for the month of September and the first to pass the $100 million level since 2017's "It." **Polymarket** has two predictions open for "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice."

Adding **Jenna Ortega**, who starred in the **Netflix** hit "Wednesday," could also help bring in more demand for the sequel, Deadline said. Also helping the film's quest to break the September record will be a release in around 4,500 theaters domestically, marking the biggest theater count total for 2024 to date. The film will also play in several premium formats such as Dbox, Imax and ScreenX. A strong open for "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" could be positive news for Warner Bros. Discovery. The company's film unit struggled during the summer months and has high hopes for the "Beetlejuice" sequel and the upcoming October release "Joker: Folie a Deux." The original "Beetlejuice" grossed $74.7 million domestically and was the 10th highest-grossing film of the year domestically. The original film has enjoyed a cult following over the years that could translate to increased anticipation for the sequel, which opens Sept. 6. **Read Next:** - **Vitalik Buterin, Peter Thiel Back Crypto Prediction Market Polymarket With $70M Funding** *Photo: “Beetlejuice Beetljuice” poster vis IMDb* ### Related Stocks - [WBD.US - Warner Bros.
