STEPHEN KING'S IT WEEKEND THREAD | 117.15 Mill!....NO SPOILERS..NOT EVEN IN TAGS!

[theultimatebiu]

That's a batshit insane OD.

 

I think $100M is seeming more and more likely. It also seems to be doing great business OS too.

 

That 2nd part is getting pushed to a November release with big name stars.

In japan, Dunkrik is looking at a very good $3.6m OW. It could reach $25-$30m total there.

I do not think WB or any other studio should worry about doing a Stephen King remake or adaptation.  I think this is the peak right here.  WB should enjoy it and concentrate all efforts on making the sequel epic and building up anticipation to match (or top) this opening weekend right here.  Anyone else that tries to cash in on horror, please do something original!  If done right, I think the next big thing could be Megalodon.  Megalodon has probably just been as hot of a topic at parties the last 20 years as evil clowns.  Concentrate on Megalodon and the It sequel and worry about other things later on.

Let's hope they won't be TOO famous, they would be too distracting.
Last thing I want is Brad Pitt involved in any way.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Huge for September, you can program year round with the right movie

Imagine IT Part 2 with an Ocean's 11 remake level of well known stars like George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts.

That would be silly. I really hope WB doesn't go in that direction.

Yeah that would be dreadful but I can see some Oscar calibre stars jumping on board.

Huge for any month!

For It Part 2, cast Jessica Chastain for Beverly. 

 

...they should also hire tele and baumer as two of the main grownup characters, (and list them as tele and baumer in the credits.)

Dammit, I should have joined the 100mil club. 

[eXtacy]

Deadlines 101m seems awfully low from 49.6m OD. Could challenge 110m with that

[dxmatrixdt]

reserved showings still packed in Southern California at 12:45am, 12:50, 12:55, and 1:05.  I can imagine LA, San Francisco, Seattle, and San Diego will be running later than that.

Never pay attention to Deadline's weekend projections.

[Krissykins]

IT just broke the horror glass ceiling .

 

How incredible is this to see? 

 

I'm still gobsmacked. What an event.

2. A Cure for Wellness

 

Still easily the worst film of the year. I actually contemplated walking out, which I've never done in my life. 

[FantasticBeasts]

This weekend's lesson;

Never doubt the power of online buzz even If it is about an r rated september horror release!

As a huge horror fan I'm glad it has. WB  have been taking horror movies more seriously then most other studios.

[eddyxx]

Damn IT smashed the September record in one day?

Hopefully, not too big. Maybe somewhat recognizable names that don't "distract" from the story.

I think Sarah Paulson would be awesome.
