Actually, the book is well known, atleast here in my area in Germany. Everyone knows Pennywise, even if they didnt read the book or watched the TV series. Hell, i didnt reas the book or watched the series but i know what IT is

Yep in my country also, while it's well known there's also a ton of people who knew there's a book/miniseries called IT about a killer clown and it's apparently terrifying even if they never saw/read it. For some reason people instantly recognize it even if they are not familiar with the source material. I don't know exactly why (nor the book nor the miniseries were THAT popular) but it was already kind of iconic even before the new movie dropped the first trailer.

Jesus Christ, this is going above $700m WW, I'm speechless, OS may touch $360m for god's sake. 

$700M WW is a real possibility or $600M is a more realistic one?

[Mockingjay Raphael]

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.

It won't be easy. Everything went perfectly for this one. That's not happening with every movie releasing.

I currently expect the second part to be big obv, but not THAT big.

Not bad for a 35 Million dollar investment..........

 

Wonder Woman will make more at the box office, but I would not be surprised if in net  (aka real) profit It does not end up rating higher then Wondy because It only cost a fraction of what WW cost.....

Probably depends if you take merchandising sales boost into account or not (and Stephen King deal),

Germany and Italy.

I'd see this hits 700-720m when all is said and done.

It made almost $60m this week, inflated by the massive OW in Argentina.

 

If it drops a standard 50% for now, it's going to add at least more $60m from these markets, but since IT doesn't seems to be free falling anywhere, I would say that $80m is more likely, which would bring the OS total to $290m, then you still have Germany & Italy, it's hard to predict numbers from these countries, since they're not Horror friendly markets, but considering that IT has been playing above the genre everywhere, I would say that at least $30m from these markets, plus $6m from the rest. And then you have the most unpredicted market: Japan. IT is going to arrive there with at least $330m in the tank, depending on the numbers there, it could go anywhere from $330m to $360m OS. Since Domestic seems to be tracking at a $340m total, it would need at least $30m from Japan to cross $700m WW.
