When could Beetlejuice 2 be released on VOD?
The sequel to Burton’s cult classic is expected to be a huge success — Variety reports that Beetlejuice could gross as much as $100 million in its opening weekend. If that happens, Warner Bros., the studio behind the film, won’t be in a rush to bring Beetlejuice to VOD.
Warner’s most popular blockbusters – Dune: Part 2, Wonka and Barbie – became available to rent and buy a month and a half after their theatrical release. Based on this, we predict that in the US and UK, Beetlejuice 2 could be available on digital around October 19, 2024.
Note however that this is just a prediction and Warner Bros. has yet to confirm this date.
When will Beetlejuice 2 be released on DVD/Blu-ray?
Physical copies of the film are expected to hit stores after Beetlejuice’s VOD release. Barbie, Wonka, and Dune: Part 2, on DVD and Blu-ray, came out about a month after the digital release in the U.S. We suspect that in the case of Burton’s film, Warner Bros. will likely follow a similar path.
If this happens, copies of Beetlejuice 2 could appear in stores in the United States. around November 19, 2024UK-based fans may have to wait a little longer for DVD and Blu-ray editions of Beetlejuice, however, if previous releases are anything to go by.
Of course, these dates have not yet been officially confirmed.
Warner Bros.
When could Beetlejuice 2 be released on streaming services?
After their DVD and Blu-ray release, Warner Bros. films appear on streaming platforms fairly quickly, although the wait time varies.
Dune: Part Two arrived on Max a week after the release of physical copies of the film, while Wonka arrived on the service ten days after the DVD and Blu-ray release. On the other hand, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire arrived on Max three weeks after the release of physical copies, while Barbie arrived on streaming nine weeks after the release of the DVD and Blu-ray editions.
We suspect that Warner Bros. won’t delay the film’s streaming release for too long – after all, Beetlejuice will work well as both a spooky seasonal tale and a Christmas movie. On that note, we expect the film to premiere on Max in November or December 2024.
The situation might be slightly different in the UK – Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is set to appear on Sky and Now a little later.
