“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” has been dethroned by a new film in Amazon Prime Video’s top 10 list

“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” has been dethroned by a new film in Amazon Prime Video’s top 10 list

Well, that didn’t last too long. After taking the top spot on Amazon Prime Video’s Top 10 Movies list, Beetlejuice has returned to No. 2, replaced by the Deadpool and Wolverine movie it originally displaced.

“Deadpool and Wolverine” is extremely attractive despite its R rating after grossing $1.3 billion. Not that Beetlejuice didn’t deliver an excellent performance as well, and it’s more than likely that we’ll see a third film in the series, undoubtedly called Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. I’m not going to lie, I’m already tired of putting Beetlejuice in this article.

The rest of the list contains more popular films that are now available for a low rental price. Rent for “Despicable Me 4” is now $6, while “Twisters” is now $10. Meanwhile, “Deadpool and Wolverine” still costs $25 to rent or $30 to purchase. You should probably just buy it at this price.

Alien Romulus is at number 5, the well-received entry in the series and the highest rated since the original two films. I’m a little surprised to see “The Wild Robot” debuting at #9 given how overwhelmingly well received it was as the best children’s film of the year, but I expect that number to increase over time as people notice that he is outside. I think it just came out on streaming yesterday to rent or buy.

I completely agree that everyone should see Trap (#10), an almost completely bloodless horror film that wasn’t particularly well received by critics, but M. Night Shyamalan’s latest film is actually very good, and Josh Hartnett rightly deserves an Oscar nomination. Of course that will never happen, but I’m serious. He is so great in this film.

I expect Deadpool and Wolverine to stay in the top 3 of the list for a very long time, and even longer if they end up lowering the rental price. It is the second highest-grossing film of the entire year, behind only Pixar’s “Inside Out 2,” which grossed $1.69 billion. That includes “Despicable Me 4” with $961 million. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, its current competitor on the list, grossed $422 million and is in the top 10, a very good performance. I was curious to see where this landed, and Joker: Folie a Deux, the sequel to the $1 billion original, is at number 20 with $165 million, an extremely spectacular failure by any measure.

We’ll be checking back soon to see how the list changes from here.
