The Panda

Deadpool and Sniper were good comparisons to this afterall. I also think legs will be relatively strong. It's also having a diluted OW due to the Hurricane, it being September and NFL football. The WoM is really strong and my theater was loving it. Only issue may be that the audience definitely skewed younger.

And in the middle of September, and being marketed as a straight horror film.

And people thought I was crazy when I was talking about a 50m OD / 100m+ OW Even Rth and Empire laughed at me in my club when I made it.

IT was definitely one of the most fun theater experiences I've had this year. It's a very engaging movie when there's a packed audience, and it's filled with laughter, emotion and effective horror. It's bizarre yet also incredibly engaging. It's shot well and it's a movie based on the backs of child actors that manages to succeed in the actor's believability. Pennywise is effective and Skarsgaad really drives the role home. It's an effective adaption of the child half of the book, even if it can't touch on everything. There's also issues with its overreliance on jump scares instead of really driving home a creepy atmosphere. Probably an A-/B+, a fun blockbuster that should be a major crowdpleaser

My theaters 10:30 sold out so they made a 10:45 which just sold out this is West Texas too, where nothing ever sells out

I really don't believe in the business of remaking classic films like the Shining. There's few cases where it's worked out really well, like True Grit.

I'm gonna wait to call it success until a few weeks, but it feels good seeing I wasn't crazy with my 100m / 300m predicts for this movie.

100% happening now, it'll probably get a summer date.

100m OW, IT's happening!!!

It looks like the type of Horror movie that could attract people who don't love horror to the crowd.

That OD looks pretty possible but the OW will probably be a bit under.

Nearly everyone I know in my age group has talked about IT at some point these last few weeks. Anecodatal but the buzz is definitely noticeable in my personal life

IT's coming for that 100m OW! I've been screaming it since the first trailer!

Holy crap I got second in weeklies, wow!!

On a side note, I think the max potential Irma can take from IT is around 7-8m (if it lands in the upper range and like I said, max potential). Then again there's always the chance the news of Irma takes attention away from it, or The opposite (people to to avoid the news).

98!!!!?!!!! Omg

Idk who's lead in Last Flag but I think Cranston on paper could get in. Thinking Oldman/Cranston/Washington/DDL/Chalamet but I could see Hanks, Franco or a few others take the last spot from Chalamet (or one of the other four if their movie's fall over)

You should definitely watch this wonderful gem first

1. Good Will Hunting 2. Princess Mononoke 3. Boogie Nights 4. Men in Black 5. L.A Confidential 6. The Sweet Hereafter 7. Starship Troopers 8. The Full Monty 9. Gattaca 10. Amistad 11. Anastasia 12. Cop Land 13. The Devil's Advocate 14. Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery 15. In the Company of Men 16. Face/Off 17. Lost Highway 18. Jackie Brown 19. Hercules 20. Air Force One 21. Titanic 22. Chasing Amy 23. The Fifth Element 24. The Lost World 25. Anaconda

Aw Nuts!

The other similarity is I was calling a massive breakout for both films

They should push one or the other. Personally think Logan is their better shot, but I doubt they can push both. Leaning on WW being the potential blockbuster pick now.

Funny how THB will be the one film to have 3 weekends at #1 but is only on the verge of making it in a historically weak top 15.

There's rumors production could go on until August 2018. That's blockbuster movie length of shooting. Idk if I want to wait until early 2019, but that'd potentially mean every season 8 episode being 80 min+

100m OW confirmed, they're way lowballing fo shure
