Laurie Metcalf was apparently great in Misery but she's top notch in everything she does not to mention a seasoned stage actor. Lady Bird which she's starring in looks very promising. 

She's very underrated. I first knew about her because of her voice actually since she played Andy Mom's in Toy Story, but then watched in a bunch of things later, very good "character actress" so to say. I've heard there's talk of her potentially getting an Oscar for Lady Bird, her performance is getting raves anyway.

I would not be shocked if It  actually outgrossed T:R domestically.

It probably will tbh.

They actually did remake Maximum Overdrive, or they adapted the short story it was based off for a TV film called Trucks. I haven't seen it, but I've heard it's usually listed among the worst King adaptations, which means it's probably awful. 

it has one of the greatest scenes ever

Deadline knows what helped Deadpool's tree-day ow. 

 

Quote

Deadpool, which was released Feb. 15, 2016, had a preview of $12.7M and ended its three-day weekend with $132.4M in its 3,558 theaters. But Deadpool also opened during the President’s weekend holiday.

 

btw Deadpool opened on Feb 12 2016. 14th Feb was Valentine's Day Sunday (DP stayed flat with +0.2%) and 15th Feb was President's Day Monday. So the three-day weekend here deserves a mention of V-day more than the President's day even if the holiday on Monday helped Sunday nights.

Take away Valentine's Day, and Deadpool was still going to open in the $120M range for the 3-day based on how it held from previews, to its OD, to its Friday-Saturday drop.

The theater is packed as I go see IT.

That's hilarious. Effects look about as good as expected & they really expect us to take that toy truck seriously. This definitely seems like a films that ripe for riffing.

another scene from the movie where a truck somehow makes a hazmat suit come to life and hacks two people up with an axe.

Going back to Kubrick for a minute.  I'd stann pretty hard for Paths of Glory 

[a2k]

Nadal-Del Porto started. Could have been Nadal-Fed, but well...

[Jake Gittes]

I admire that toy truck's commitment.

Wish this was in English, but it also involves suits coming to life? Lol, well at least those trucks are determined.

Great war film (possibly the best WWI film?), and definitely one of Kubrick's best. The themes are powerful but subtly done. I'd say it's an easy movie to stan.

I can honestly see 110m with a 47m Fri+Thurs previews.

[Ozymandias]

Just saw IT.  Well, as far as overhyped movies of the year go, its certainly better than SHIT RIVER.  I mostly enjoyed it, but felt it was missing something to make it special.

[Steele131]

If IT has legs it could hit 250M domestic. (I personally think it can get to 300M) What other films can hit that for the rest of the year? Thor, Justice League, Coco?, and Star Wars.

Agree. People are saying Front loading could happen, but this isn't your standard Horror film.

47-36-27 gets it to 110. Perfectly reasonable in my opinion. 2.7x multiplier from there gets it close enough that they could push it to 300m.... Crazy!

Lots of children here to see IT.
