This summer’s blockbuster hit has been overtaken as the No. 1 most popular rental on Amazon by another box office hit, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, per Forbes. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, starring Jenna Ortega, Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder, landed on the No. 1 spot on Prime Video’s Top 10 List, relegating the Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman-led Deadpool & Wolverine to the No. 2 spot on the list.
The fact that Halloween is so close may have something to do with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice dethroning "Marvel Jesus,” perhaps because the sequel offers a more family-friendly, yet spooky alternative to the R-rated Deadpool & Wolverine. The original 1988 Beetlejuice is also on Amazon’s Top 10 at No. 7.

Both Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and Deadpool & Wolverine were box office successes, with the latter earning $1.3 billion worldwide to become the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice earned $408 million worldwide.
Will There Be A Third Beetlejuice Movie?
The success of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice 36 after the cult classic original movie has audiences wondering if there will be a third movie in the future. Michael Keaton, who plays the titular character, said he would be interested in doing a third.
Keaton told E! News, “I’m having so much fun. Oh, yeah, I’d do it every year, yeah.”
Director Tim Burton said bringing Keaton back as Betelgeuse felt like no time had gone by and that Keaton didn’t need to prep for the role. “We didn’t rehearse, we didn’t do anything,” Burton said in a previous interview about filming the sequel. “So, he comes on, and it was truly like demon possession. It felt like a time warp,” Burton said.
Tim Burton's Thoughts on Another Movie
Before the sequel’s premiere, Burton hinted that the odds of a third movie are slim. In a roundtable interview attended by CBR, Burton said, “Let’s do the math. It took 35 years to do this one. For another, I’d be over 100 years old. It could be possible thanks to medical science. But I don’t think so.”
