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 have no idea why but I'm so happy to hear this.

I guess because I'm so sick of Marvel/DC crap and 10-year-plans.



That said, I eagerly await the day that I genuinely miss Marvel movies in the theater.

Im really extremely happy too
Good things are coming
 
I'm so happy IT's doing Gangbusters at the boxoffice. They'll have more money to play around with for the second part. :)
 
You like my coke'd out King lol

I did like the movie but not enough to dethrone Exorcist/Halloween1 from my top 2 spots.

Taking the wife this week she's going to love it.

Ummm...if I remember correctly JAWS and rushmore liked it as well.

Oh and Wor-Gar and crows did too...

:chase
 
:lol

Are you on board with this movie jye? Does it have any sense of palpable dread or is it more of the "jump scares and CGI" variety?

What did JAWS, Wor-Gar, rushmore, etc., think of it?

I really enjoyed it, better than I thought it would be. It's not my favorite Horror movie, not even Favorite King movie, but it is well worth watching and will not be forgotten anytime soon.

It didn't scare me, but I had a big grin watching it. It was definitely quite creepy, and the Clown was pitch perfect.

Hopefully kara gave a positive review while finding some way to knock Star Wars in the process, lol.

Ah, good to hear that you enjoyed it without being scared. Because monster clowns just don't do it for me, lol. I saw a screenshot showing the kids standing outside a theater playing Batman and Lethal Weapon 2. So if it's set in 1989 that alone will be fun to see. I still remember seeing theatrical marquees with those two films listed like it was yesterday. Hopefully the kids sneak in to watch a few minutes of Road House at some point in the film.

Definitely NOT jump scares and CGI.
Not at all.

More palpable dread. The flute lady is scary as hell.
The bullies are suuuper messed up. Creepy bullies.
Movie has moments of dread and misery.

The clown is the cherry on top of the milkshake... the dessert after the meal
And what a delicious dessert, fingerlicking good
