Beetlejuice primary title entry should be "Beetle Juice"
IMDb titles are supposed to be "the original title of a movie/show in its original language as it appears on screen in the opening credits" which for Beetlejuice, is "Beetle Juice". The film is more commonly known as "Beetlejuice", yes, but that's not IMDb titling policy. I've tried updating the page the conventional way but my edit gets rejected for this particular title for some reason.
Please correct and respond - thank you!

The title card within the actual film always has read, "Beetle Juice". When the IMDb title page for the movie was created decades ago, the primary title of it was made to match as what some of the film's official posters and the press (e.g. TV Guide) referred to the movie. Some fans have taken note of this in/through other venues (such as YouTube), but I've never before observed anybody point it out on any forum maintained by the IMDb staff. I lean toward assuming that there have been IMDb contributors who've tried to correct this, and inasmuch, I'm doubtful that it will ever be corrected.

Hi sinnerphile -
I can confirm that the Original title for the film is listed as "Beetle Juice" with the spacing: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094721/releaseinfo
Note that we currently display the primary title per location of the user, therefore, if you are in the US the title display will show as "Beetlejuice" because this is the Alternate title we have listed for USA.
The current display appears to be correct, showing "Beetle Juice" as the original title under the primary title display.
I hope this helps!

At least for me, it seems that mobile view shows ”Beetlejuice”, and then when I click to desktop view (View Full Site) it shows ”Beetle Juice”.
