Hades 27,980 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 The film adaptation of Stephen King's creepy novel is already shattering numerous records, including landing the biggest opening ever for a horror movie, or for the month of September. There is nothing clownish about It, which grossed a massive $51 million on Friday from 4,103 theaters for a weekend debut north of $100 million. New Line and Warner Bros.' film adaptation of Stephen King's novel is jolting the domestic box office back to life after seven straight down weekends, resulting in the worst summer in recent memory, as attendance fell to a 25-year low. It is shattering numerous records, including landing the biggest start ever for a horror film, not accounting for inflation. And it's the biggest opening ever for the month of September. The movie's Friday take alone was bigger than the previous September crown holder, Hotel Transylvania 2, which pulled in $48.5 million for the three days. And its Friday haul almost matched the opening weekend of Paranormal Activity 3 ($52.6 million), which is the current record-holder for top horror opening. The movie also nabbed the biggest Friday ever for an R-rated title, beating Deadpool's $47 million. (Deadpoolwent on to open to $132.4 million, however.) And its Thursday preview gross of $15.3 million was the best ever for an R-rated title (besting Deadpool at $12.7 million). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mariomania1234 11,368 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I saw this last night. What a beautiful adaptation of my favorite novel of all time.

Aside from a couple, kings novels have never translated well into movies, and 90s It was no exception. I bought the book and read it this summer to prepare me for the movie because I was hyped for it, and I hope it lives up to the book for me, and it looks like it will because literally all I've heard is that the adaptation is incredible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke78619 23,363 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I must ask for those who have seen it spoilers for those who haven't seen it or don't want any details Spoiler does this movie actually contain gore or blood or things like that? From the trailers it would seem like it's all about scares and not gore, but then I read a scene about a boys arm being eaten by IT or something so, without giving the story away, is there gore like this? or worse? because I'm a gore lover insta: good_lukeing | I have nothing else to promote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went into to this just wanting the film to capture the essence and tone of the book and I think they did just that. It's a horror/fantasy film with real heart and characters you don't want to leave behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there is one scene that contains a ton of blood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hausofcy 20,325 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I read the book this summer and watched the movie on premier night here in belgium. I had a lot of expectations and it surpassed all of them. Of course there are some changes cause the book version wouldn't work on screen but they don't affect the story. Also there are a lot of details that you'll only get if you've read the book. They all did a great job and this movie immediately went to my top 3 movies i've ever seen. I will go see it again next weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
