    And yes, the upgrade from the original to Creation is actually unprecedented in Hollywood. It's not the 1st time that a sequel outgrosses the original (Saw II and Insidious 2 both did that, off the top of my head), but a prequel doing that and grossing 100M when the original didn't, and opening SMALLER than the original for that matter, is spectacular. Even Paranormal Activity 3 did less than the 1st one (both at over 100M DOM). A 3x multiplier for a horror prequel is absolutely stunning, for the matter. Never doubt the Sandberg factor, it seems.

    The dead August probably helped. If it was anything like that year GOTG and TMNT came out I doubt Creation would have made that much.

    I've said this several times before, but Friend Request is the type of horror film tweens and teens under 17 go to see and have a riot with their friends, except this one is rated R and therefore off limits for that crowd. The older crowd sure as shit won't care about this, and if they do, what's stopping them from watching it online right now or importing a Blu-Ray? :lol: 

    It did poorly over here when released and it had a lower rating. When I saw it opening night there where a few older people at it but that was it. No teens at all.

    I wonder if the sequel has potential to increase even more OS, now that the people that didn't know it was based on a book, are buying the book, on the same way that happened with THG back in 2012? At least here in Brazil, most of persons had no idea it was based on a book, and the sales are blowing up! And I'm pretty sure it wasn't well known by most of the LA region and Asia as well. If it plays like a YA (when it comes to increasing in a sequel), Jesus Christ... 

    I dunno, I think part of the appeal of IT is the kids. I don't think an adult cast will be quite the same.
