TwoMisfits Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 So, I enjoy a week long cruise and come back to the awesomest epic September opening weekend ever!:)...even with Florida theaters closed. Congrats to all those who "felt it"...I admit I felt it would be big and record-breaking, but not 3 digit big (although I missed the week before hype - no internet, no news - maybe I'd have changed my mind if I'd have seen theaters selling out early:)...I'll say it was a happy shocker for me when I logged in yesterday night and saw the weekend movie news...to more happy September shocks, especially on "premier" movie concepts! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The failure of The Dark Tower has poisoined the well for that project for the foreseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAJK Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 My theatre ain't even getting mother. I'd have to drive nearly 2h to get to a place that's showing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Tran Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 IT has basically zero competition this month. I think it'll end up legging out pretty well and even then over $200M after it's second weekend is insanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's gonna open like Circle (maybe a bit more, and have better legs). On paper Watson and Hanks but didn't help. Mother! seems to be getting better reception but for movies like these above average ain't enough, cause people will check it out on dvd or netflix or whatever. It has to have enough buzz and acclaim to break people's patience and make them restless to catch it on the big screen. edit: 11-12 ow / 2.6-2.8x / 29-34 dom imo Edited September 12, 2017 by a2knet added prediction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2k Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 IT's drop of 68.6% is at par with Home Again and Hitman, despite a better Sunday drop than both (38% vs 45-47%) and immensely bigger numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2k Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) IT's Monday is close to HOME AGAIN's 4-day. This has surely been one of the biggest gaps between two openers.

baumer Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 I realize this is incredibly cliched but at this point if Warner Brothers just decided to pull IT from theaters it would still be a massively successful film. There really is not going to be any more good or bad numbers for this film it's just all gravy at this point. But if for some reason it does manage to fall less than 55% this weekend my jaw will be hitting the floor once again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfHan Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Wow, IT has nearly sold out every single showing today Why the fuck hasn't my theater moved it to their biggest auditoriums for Wednesday (AA is having previews in the biggest on Thursday but still)? School is still closed tomorrow, and it's pretty clear they can't occupy enough people in the auditoriums It's currently in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobSaibot Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I heard that Marquee sold out two showings last night. On a fucking MONDAY. That doesn't happen in my area unless it's a Star Wars film! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
