That It number simply defies Ms. Logic in every way and shoves its red nosed middle finger up her sweet pinkhole. Hoooooooly crap.

[BenedictL11]

It should pass $300M by the end of the month.

 

Annabelle Creation will pass $100M before Kingsman 2 and Lego Ninja movie. Awesome for both of them and big hits for WB especially IT!!!!

[a2k]

1st 4 digits of IT's ow are $123,403,419. Hope it does at least $56.789 2nd weekend  (which would be a 54% drop)

[Finnick]

 

ACTUALS SLIGHTLY HIGHER WITH $123.4M

It was effective....

 

In getting people to roll their eyes.

 

The previous trailer was better, this new one with the whole "YOU'LL NEVER FORGET WHERE YOU WERE WHEN YOU SAW MOTHER!" reeked of pretentiousness.

agreed,  I saw IT twice and both times, the crowd laughed at the trailer.  I said it before, that bad trailer won't hurt the movie or mean the film is not good, just think they should have showed a better one.

Universal execs must have been scratching their heads right now. Muschietti should've directed The Mummy reboot. 

[NoobSaibot]

Just to give you a perspective of how big the opening weekend was: IT had a higher opening weekend total than Gravity and The Martian's opening weekend totals....combined.

 

Fucking. Insane.

[Lucas]

So with the help of today (monday)'s grosses, IT will have passed Transformers 5's entire domestic box office run.

Thanks.  I had read your post on that, and was hoping what was funny/incongruous was the deep 'MOTHER!' at the end of each of the trailers.  Damn.  I'm biased but I did want the trailer to be good, particularly given how popular IT is.

I don't think it really would have mattered. You could have put James Cameron directing Christopher Nolan producing and Steven Spielberg executive producing and the mummy still probably would have tanked in North America.

I haven't seen such a negative reaction to a trailer before

Such a wasted opportunity, surely event movie like that are full of people that never go in theater anyway and cannot be attracted to go to a non-even film, but still it was over 10 million people in theater, the best way to watch a trailer.
