A specialty cocktail appears to have moviegoers shocked by its arguably hefty price tag. 

"Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" hit theaters nationwide on Sept. 6 and raked in $110 million in its first weekend, the Associated Press reported.

What also has viewers chatting involves the themed food and drink offerings that are centered around the sequel.

The light blue drink went viral on X this weekend after users shared posts about the price.

Woods, however, responded to his original post and said that he wasn’t mad at the price, simply that he "thought it was funny" and that he enjoyed the beverage. 

Other X users also tried the "Sandworm Slayer" drink and some said it wasn't what they expected. 

User @TheJerseyMomma posted a photo of her drink from the AMC Theatres in Bridgewater, New Jersey, and wrote, "Even #Beetlejuice would be disappointed in this Sandworm Slayer drink! It doesn't look like the advertised picture, does it?"

She told Fox News Digital that she paid $22.39 for the drink at the location.

Brakeville said that since Woods' drink was purchased in the state of Illinois, the unique liquor laws resulted in the drink costing $28.25 plus tax, at most. 

He added, "Please note, this price was in place only at our high-volume locations in Illinois, which represents just 8% of AMC MacGuffins locations."
