Stephen King's It Remake 2017

2nd weekend box office was absolutely mind blowing.

This will very soon pass The Exorcist as the highest grossing R rated horror movie of all time!

Your jaw will hit the ground:

After just eight days in release, WB and New Line's Itbecame the highest grossing September release of all-time, two days later it added another $40 million to that total for an impressive $60 million second weekend and nearly $220 million in just ten days. The horror film's performance vastly overshadowed the weekend's two new wide releases that saw Lionsgate and CBS Films's American Assassindeliver respectable results in second place while Paramount's release of Darren Aronofsky's mother!suffered greatly, finishing in third and receiving a disastrous "F" CinemaScore from opening day audiences.



With an estimated $60 million this weekend, WB and New Line's It brought its domestic cume to $218.7 million after just ten days in release. As already mentioned, that makes it the largest September release ever, topping 1986's Crocodile Dundee ($174.8m). That number, of course, is not adjusted for inflation. Adjusted for inflation, however, It still finishes within the top ten and would likely finish around third after it soon tops $300 million domestically. The film is now just $14.2 million shy of becoming the largest R-rated horror film of all-time as it will soon top The Exorcist's $232.9 million domestic total (not adjusted for inflation).



The film is also delivering big numbers internationally. Itopened in ten more overseas markets this weekend for a total of 56 where it grossed an estimated $60.3 million for an international cume that currently stands at $152.6 million for a global tally north of $370 million. The weekend included a $13.8 million opening in Mexico, the largest horror opening ever in the market and the third largest for a WB feature. It also makes Mexico the second highest grossing market for It after just three days. The top market for the film is the U.K. where it currently holds an estimated $27.7 million after remaining #1 in the market for a second weekend in a row with an estimated $8.2 million.

I haven't seen It (nor followed this thread) but are people already predicting a wave of Stephen King remakes as a result of this current success? New Salem's Lot, Cujo, Christine, etc?

Skarsgard said there was a disturbing scene of IT's origin in the 1600s cut from the film. They might save it for the sequel or something.

***unaga's draft script in 2015 had a woman in the same time period let IT eat her baby in exchange for her life. Yikes.

How do you keep coming back?

Some Stephen King remakes would be cool, as long as they don't trying making a cinematic universe out of them. Andy Muschietti (Director of IT 2017) said that he'd be interested in doing Pet Sematary.

Still not as nasty or scary as your Signature picture

 

[jye4ever]

I agree with that.

Maz should've been in IT lol

 

[ironwez20]

I must be the only one in the world who didn't love Stranger Things. It was just okay to me.

Same. I don't understand the hype. I thought the kids were annoying and the monster looked stupid.

 

[jye4ever]

I have not watched ST I think i'll just stick with IT.

 

[punisher1974]

I liked Stranger Things. Imagine if Maz The Lucas Kennedy thing mated. Be a pretty legendary monster

Pet Semetary needs a remake, the original sucked kitty litter.

Just leave Dead Zone, Shining, Shawshank and Stand by Me alone.

 

[Chakor]

...the original sucked kitty litter.

I love Dead Zone -- my favorite King-to-movie... but it might be great for a remake actually. It's 3rd act "villain" is very timely.

Don't forget Green Mile and the Mist.
