The sequel over 35 years in the making, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice makes its long awaited box office debut at the top of the UK chart with a gross of £7.3 Million.
The movie has had generally very good reviews and with the massive fan base which the original movie from Tim Burton has gained it was bound to be a hit.
Also there is an '80's revival vibe at the moment where big movies from that era are betting sequels/follow ups/remakes which has not harmed its success.
Last weeks top movie Despicable Me 4 falls to number 6 this weekend, seemingly a big drop but the movie is on its 9th weekend and it was a second spell at the top.
Inside Out 2 has now spent 13 weeks on the chart and has made £58.7 Million, it is the top grossing movie of the year.
