A 90M opening this weekend would be behind 75 OWs, so I’d say it’s approximately as strong/impressive as opening behind 75 other OWs in another year — whether that be 2014 (69.3M), 2009 (54M), 2004 (40M), 2002 (29.5M), or 2024 (~125M? Maybe?).

why are you comparing PG-13 movies with R? they don't have the same audience. 

 

the growth in PG-13 market is different than the growth in the more adult R-rated films. 

 

 

edit: cus by that logic a 90M OW for an R-rated movie is the equivalent of a 208M OW for a PG-13 (both 5th place in R and PG-13)

If you were to tell me 6 months ago The Joker would outgross It: Chapter 2 opening weekend I’d call you crazy.

 

Well this is the World we live in, and these are the hands we’re given

It has horrible legs because screenings and the Venice Film Festival have shown that it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea and is very hard to sit through seeing how there are very disgusting scenes and probably wouldn’t resonate legs.

Seems like a reasonable enough objection, let’s see what we get focusing just on R movies.   

 

90M nowadays is good for 5th: 

1 Deadpool Fox $132,434,639 36.5% 3,558 $37,222 $363,070,709 2/12/16
2 Deadpool 2 Fox $125,507,153 39.4% 4,349 $28,859 $318,491,426 5/18/18
3 It WB (NL) $123,403,419 37.7% 4,103 $30,076 $327,481,748 9/8/17
4 The Matrix Reloaded WB $91,774,413 32.6% 3,603 $25,471 $281,576,461 5/15/03
5 American Sniper WB $89,269,066 25.5% 3,555 $25,111 $350,126,372 1/16/15

 

A decade ago 5th was...  

1 The Matrix Reloaded WB $91,774,413 32.6% 3,603 $25,471 $281,576,461 5/15/03
2 The Passion of the Christ NM $83,848,082 22.6% 3,043 $27,554 $370,274,604 2/25/04
3 300 WB $70,885,301 33.7% 3,103 $22,844 $210,614,939 3/9/07
4 Hannibal MGM $58,003,121 35.1% 3,230 $17,957 $165,092,268 2/9/01
5 Sex and the City WB (NL) $57,038,404 37.4% 3,285 $17,363 $152,647,258 5/30/08

 

57-58M. It’s really not a substantially different picture here in terms of all OWs vs R opening weekends.

It'll also be getting some level of Oscar buzz for lead actor, so you'd think that would cancel out a bit. Even if there's elements of the film that turn people off, you'll probably have people still check it out for the performance.

I still don't get the argument that making it into the top 5 isn't "that good". 

would you say that about any high profile PG-13 movie that fails to crack 208M?

This isn’t what I’m saying at all. Maybe you didn’t read all of the comments?

The movie is no more disgusting or violent than something like A Star is Born. For something that is touted as dark and gritty, it seems pretty casual (based on the script).

Out from it. First thought about it. It was so long and felt like that way. I thought It will end here atleast 3 times during it but it keep going. 

 

It is very, how to say It, systematic in its screenplay & It get boring due to that.

 

That's my two bits on IT 2. 

also down with the old cast. Kids was what made IT good.
