It took the better part of four decades and the sequel to Beetlejuice is now official.
Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder are starring once again, among a stellar cast of actors; the movie will be called “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” leaving room for a third movie—just don’t say the word three times in a row!
To be released on September 6, 2024, the movie won’t be called Beetlejuice 2 after all which creates an interesting situation, as far as domain registrations go.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice – Official poster
For starters, the domain Beetlejuice.com is parked with PPC ads and for sale via Afternic, all while Beetlejuice2.com points to a broken lander at Warner Bros.
Meanwhile, the exact .com, BeetlejuiceBeetlejuice.com is parked at a standard GoDaddy lander with PPC ads. Registered in 2015, the domain appears to be ripe for acquisition.
Regarding potential legal issues, Warner Bros owns 5 registered marks for BEETLEJUICE and none so far for the double keyword, all while an Australian wine company has filed a trademark registration application for wines; that application is pending.
Would the domain name BeetlejuiceBeetlejuice.com sell to Warner Bros on time for the epic release of the much-anticipated sequel? We sure hope so.
