AceShowbiz - "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice", the highly anticipated sequel to Tim Burton's 1988 classic, held onto the top spot at the box office for a second consecutive weekend. With an impressive $51.6 million domestic haul and an international take of $28.7 million, the film has brought its global gross to $264.3 million. Starring Winona Ryder, Michael Keaton, and newcomer Jenna Ortega, the film follows Lydia Deetz and her rebellious daughter, Astrid, as they navigate a series of supernatural events.

Despite facing competition from "Speak No Evil" and "Deadpool & Wolverine", "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" maintained its box office dominance, earning a total of $188 million domestically and a worldwide gross of $76.3 million.

In a distant second place, Universal Pictures and Blumhouse's psychological horror film "Speak No Evil" made a strong debut with $11.5 million in its domestic opening weekend and an additional $9.3 million internationally. The film, a remake of the 2022 Danish film of the same name, follows a family's weekend getaway that turns into a nightmare.

"Deadpool & Wolverine" from Marvel Studios rounded out the top three with $5.2 million in its eighth weekend of release. The superhero blockbuster has earned a total of $621.5 million domestically, joining the elite group of top 15 domestic blockbusters of all time.

"Am I Racist?",a controversial documentary featuring conservative blogger Matt Walsh, surprised many by landing in fourth place with an estimated $4.8 million opening weekend. The film, which garnered a strong "A" CinemaScore, has reignited the debate surrounding race and diversity.

In fifth place, the Dennis Quaid biopic "[Reagan]" took in almost $3 million in its third week of release, bringing its domestic total to $23.3 million. Despite its star power, "The Killer's Game" starring Dave Bautista underperformed at the box office, earning only $2.6 million in its opening weekend. "Alien: Romulus" and Blake Lively's "It Ends with Us" followed closely in seventh and eighth place, respectively.

The faith-based doc "God's Not Dead: In God We Trust" concluded the Top 10, while the GKIDS anime "DAN DA DAN: First Encounter" missed out on the top 10. The Ian McKellen period drama "The Critic", on the other hand, had a disappointing opening weekend.

As the box office landscape continues to shift, "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" remains a force to be reckoned with, while newcomers like "Speak No Evil" and "Am I Racist?" make their mark on the cinematic scene.
