The independently-made surrealist horror film has grossed another $9.3 million towards its $36.2 million domestic total.

Abroad, the film picked up just $3 million for a global tally of $44.8 million.

Much likeThe Wild Robot,Beetlejuice Beetlejuiceis still finding an audience in theaters despite being available on digital platforms.

TheTim Burton-helmed sequel may have dropped 32 percent from last weekend, but is still clinging to the No.

The R-rated romantic drama sees an up-and-coming chef and a recent divorcee brought together by a far-from-romantic first encounter.

But against all odds, they embark on a life-changing love story.

“It was a gift,” Garfieldtold EW of his experience making the film.

“Grief is a gift.

There’s no way of experiencing connection to life until we understand and experience a connection to death.

All of the unexpressed love is what grief manifests.”

I love tonal jumps.

It is scary, though.

But I was very interested in covering different genres with this movie.”

Anorais set to expand into wide release on Nov. 8.
