IT $100m OW stateside and Homecoming $70m OW in China. I thought the moviegoing was dead

 

As for IT I think it'll reach $500m WW quite easily

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.

Fans of horror, is there any other beloved horror property (be it a book, an old film, or even an urban legend) that has the potential to pull an It if done well, marketed well, and cast well?

Just curious about your thoughts.

 

 

To be honest, I'd love to see a Psycho remake. Others maybe possibly Invasion of the body snatchers, or hell I wouldn't mind a redo if some B level horror flicks like Motel Hell. Puppet Master came to mind but I'm not sure, maybe if it was in the right hands.

Go look at my $100M OW club. 

 

The moment Han gave his prediction, we all knew he had Wonder Womaned IT and now look at this movie float too.

People are gonna look at that OD gross in the title of the thread and think that it's a sarcastic joke.

 

That's how unbelievable these numbers are. Bestow upon the next member of the Deadpool/Jurassic World/American Sniper/etc. club of HOLY FUCKING SHIT IS THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENING.

[Boxofficerules]

I think a new Gremlins movie has potential to do very well.

There's no Han curse but Han used to have good luck last year. Though there's definitely a Kevin curse.

No it doesn't.  Don't fucking touch Gremlins.

[Jonwo]

I think Creature from the Black Lagoon as a proper horror film could do quite well.

So... How many comic book films will IT beat at the BO this year?

 

I think

Logan

Spider-Man: Homecoming

Thor: Ragnorak

Justice League

But we don't know if he liked IT yet or not so we can say for sure!

 

(I won't be seeing it until Wednesday at the earliest either so I'm jealous of everyone else right now too )

I personally don't think CotC is high up there anymore.  They have made about 7 of them that have gone straight to HV.  

 

I'm sure there are other Dean Koontz and Peter Straub horror novels that would make excellent horror films.  And then you have Flowers in the Attic by VC Andrews.  I haven't read all of them but the first book is iconic and very well done.  If they gave it the right treatment, it could do very well, imo.

Speaking of Koontz, I would LOVE remake of Phantoms, I hated the movie with Affleck in it, horrible. I think that would be a great movie to redo, excellent story and really creepy vibe.

 

Also Midnight would be a very interesting, but tough task to make but I'd have faith. 

 

I think if my memory serves me right Intensity I believe was done before? It was done european I think, or at least they took parts of Dean's work.

[Nova]

Also remember IT, is doing this while a Cat 4-5 hurricane is about to barrel through a whole state. 

 

If not for the hurricane, i think this could have given Deadpool a run for its money in terms of breaking the 3-day record.

Currently thinking Under 300m.  Don't want to make a club because it's just going to turn into a flaming trash pile.
