“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” the second installment of Tim Burton’s macabre comedy, is dominating the French box office, edging out “The Count of Monte Cristo,” which moved into second place, according to CBO Box-Office data published Wednesday. After its wide theatrical release, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” attracted, for its second week in theaters, 340,763 viewers on 843 screens between Sept. 18 and 24.
The adventures of the “bio-exorcist” comedian, whose striped suit is once again donned by Michael Keaton 36 years after the first part, surpass the adventures of “The Count of Monte Cristo”, with Pierre Niney in the title role.
In its thirteenth week of release, Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière’s feature film continues to captivate the public with 209,152 viewers, a total of more than 8.5 million viewers since its release. In third place, Daniel Auteuil’s “Le Fil,” in which he plays a lawyer convinced that a father accused of murdering his wife is innocent, earned 165,495 viewers in its third week in theaters.
