The movie, which also headlines Wednesday star Jenna Ortega, is hot with women; over 25 first, then under 25 next. You’ll remember Ortega propelled Scream VI to a franchise domestic record opening of $44.4M.

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice is 23 days out from release, placed on that magical post Labor Day weekend (first frame in September) which Warner Bros has turned into a hotbed for horror movies with titles like the It and The Nun franchise in recent years. Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice is getting a Venice World Premiere and the bullhorn on the film will only grow louder.
