Beetlejuice is more of a Halloween film than Joker 2 which is why it seems off to have it outside of October.

Joker 2 would likely do just as much business no matter when it was released but there's a chance with the Halloween holiday getting going there might be even more interest in Beetlejuice seeing as it fits the theme of the month.

I'd have to dig deeper, but I don't recall horror movies doing better in October than other months. - Inigo Aug 27, 08:53 5
- I know they release horror films all year long but it just seems like October would be the best time for a film like Beetlejuice. - Krusty Aug 27, 08:56 4
  - People have been making these comments for as long as I've been watching box office - horror does well any time of year. Just like how - Reagen Aug 27, 09:44
  - with a 30-45 day theatrical window it will be on streaming by Halloween -- nm - mr mooch Aug 27, 08:57 2
    - I would think part of the release strategy is Beetlejuice 2 on Max for Halloween and Joker 2 for the Christmas holiday. -- nm - Inigo Aug 27, 09:15 1
      - if BJ2 is actually any good (i'm skeptical from the trailers so far) it shoulda been a summer release. zero comedies, woulda had that space entirely - mr mooch Aug 27, 09:17
As I explained to Amy all weekend, this is Summerween. -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 08:42
