As a seasoned cinephile who has witnessed the evolution of Hollywood over five decades, I can confidently say that Michael Keaton‘s career is nothing short of remarkable. His recent return as Beetlejuice in Tim Burton’s sequel is a testament to his enduring appeal and the timeless nature of his performances.
Following a five-decade long career, he’s back at the pinnacle once more due to reprising his role as Beetlejuice in Tim Burton’s follow-up to the 1988 horror comedy film. The movie’s immense popularity has allowed this seasoned actor, who was previously Batman, to reach a remarkable personal achievement that complements the numerous honors and recognitions he’s earned throughout his industry tenure.
With the global gross of this movie hovering around $350 million, the film has significantly boosted Michael Keaton’s lifetime box office earnings, surpassing $7 billion. Despite experiencing periods of highs and lows throughout his career, Keaton’s box office allure has consistently remained strong for extended periods. Even films that didn’t fare well critically, like Tim Burton’s reimagining of Dumbo, have significantly contributed to his personal earnings tally.
The launch of “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” was met with some apprehension due to the significant time elapsed since the first film’s premiere and the lengthy production process of the sequel. Yet, when the movie’s box office earnings exceeded that of the original within just a few days, all uncertainty vanished, much like a wraithly mist, allowing it to reign at the box office for weeks, despite fierce competition from other high-profile releases.
Michael Keaton’s Biggest Movies
It’s no wonder that Michael Keaton’s highest-earning film as a main actor remains Batman from 1989, given it amassed $411 million against its budget of only $48 million. This film, which had one of the lowest budgets among Keaton’s top movies, also made his comic book character portrayal one of his most financially successful by a significant margin. However, Batman is not Keaton’s highest-grossing movie overall due to his roles in various hit franchise films.
On Keaton’s list of highest grossing Batman films, you’ll find Cars with an earning of $426 million, Spider-Man: Homecoming with $880 million, Toy Story 3 with a staggering $1.07 billion, and at the very top is Minions from 2015, which raked in an impressive $1.16 billion. As of now, only Dumbo, which made a relatively low $353 million for Disney in 2019, stands between Batman and Beetlejuice on this list. However, it’s expected that his latest film will surpass Dumbo’s earnings.
Indeed, if The Flash movie in 2023 had met its expectations, Keaton might have reached his $7 billion milestone earlier. However, his return as Batman in that film was affected by a mix of altered plans at Warner Bros., causing the cancellation of another Batman appearance in the Leslie Grace-led Batgirl, and the problematic production of The Flash due to numerous delays and issues surrounding star Ezra Miller’s public scrutiny. Despite these challenges, Keaton is experiencing a career resurgence, suggesting that his latest milestone may not be his final one. His next project is the comedy film Goodrich, scheduled for release on October 18.
