    I'm stunned at this performance.  Deadpool shocked me but bottom line is that is still a superhero movie from Marvel.  

     

    With IT, I had no idea the book was this loved on a world wide basis. If fact, I always felt that my love of the book was kind of like being in a small and very exclusive club.  I just never would have anticipated this kind of anticipation and reception for IT.

     

    I'm thrilled that it's doing this well.

    To be honest I don't think this is SK or the book's magic. Sure the book is really popular and probably had some influence but this number is way beyond that. It is a phenomenon that couldn't have been predicted, think in recent years, Stranger Things of movies. It has a relatively unknown crew(directors etc.), unknown cast and low budget but it just hits all the right notes with the audience to the point where everyone's gotta go check this out just to see what the buzz is about.

    I call bullshit. Theres no link here. And that would be more than Dangal grossed in total.  Post a link.

    I got it off twitter uh, there was no link, it was just a image. I didn't think someone would make that up. 

     

    EDIT: Found a link after a quick search - I guess they were referring to worldwide? http://www.financialexpress.com/entertainment/baahubali-2-daangal-set-to-be-beaten-by-it-stephen-king-movie-it-box-office-collections-rs-1150-cr-worldwide-will-shock-and-awe-you-aamir-khan-prabhas-film/853133/

    FWIW American Assassin has a lot of twitter engagement relative to most movies.  25.2K followers on twitter is more than half what IT had 3 days before release (was about 42K).  Hitman's Bodyguard was around 5K and Annabelle around 7-8K.  Engagement on tweets is a lot too.  

     

    I don't entirely get it, but this movie may break out to some extent.

    No. It's social media engagement is all from Dylan O Brien fanbase.. it's a cult. It will not amount to much. It's just all his fan girls going crazy about this movie. I would take this with a lot of salt. 

  4. Even with all the problems this movie has had post-production wise, like the editing/CGI etc... just Stephen King's characters done right is enough. It's also what made Stranger things a phenomenon. This is the recipe. 

     

    EDIT: Also marketing and timing. Can't forget those two. This movie had EXCEPTIONAL marketing, one of the best ever in my opinion. 

  5. I don't even mind if it wasn't that scary. People forget that they watched the mini-series when they were kids.. now they aren't kids, so clowns won't be as scary for obvious reasons. Stop expecting them to be. 

     

    My biggest issue was with the editing and pacing, I can excuse the pacing because it's based off a massive book but the editing/post production work was really poor in my opinion and resulted in the movie not flowing as nice despite the good cinematography. 

     

    It was by no means bad but definitely a missed opportunity to make this a masterpiece/classic.

    That's not how I interpret it.  He says we will have some fun working together, so how can you take that any other way?  He says he and Andy will work together down the road.

    Because he says down the road which implies they're not working together yet. There is nothing that says Andy and The Rock have worked, whereas David is a director/producer of Ballers & IT respectively. He is the mutual so even if they know each other or worked on something which to our knowledge is nothing, David is the connection.. 

     

    Anyways not arguing any further on this. Either way The Rock didn't just shout it out of nowhere so it's whatever imo.

    No, that's not the connection.  He said that he and Muschietti would be working together in the future.

    "we're gonna have some fun working together down the road."

    That doesn't indicate to me that they're working on something, more of like I'm sure we'll cross paths because again David is a Producer and mutual of both, so it's highly possible he gets them on one project. The connection is with David.

    Always good to get a ringing endorsement from one of the biggest stars in the world.  I wonder which project they are going to work on together.  

     

    Before anyone even gets any kind of ideas, The Rock will not be one of the adults in the second movie.  He doesn't come close to fitting into one of the roles.

    David Katzenberg, one of the IT's producer actually directed The Rock's show "Ballers" on HBO. So I guess that's where the connection is, otherwise I doubt The Rock would give this kind of shout-out even though the dude is a professional sell-out.
