Beetlejuices original title would have caused a big sequel problem for Tim Burton if it had gone into production. Beetlejuice was released in 1988 and has since become a Tim Burton classic, alongside other films like The Nightmare Before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands. The movie follows Beetlejuice as he torments the Deetz family in various ways, and offers some iconic scenes, such as the Banana Song dance scene. Since its release, Beetlejuice has grossed $74.8 million worldwide and became such a huge part of popular culture that a sequel was released an astonishing 35 years after the original Burton movie.
