Will this still be in the top 10 most profitable films of the year? The first film was number 5 in 2017. I think this movie could sneak in at number 10.

probably at number 9 or 10 

 

after 

Avengers: Endgame

The Lion King

Captain Marvel

Toy Story 

Aladdin

Frozen II

Star Wars

maybe FFH or Jumanji

Holdovers aren’t getting as mercilessly slaughtered as I thought they would. Could bode well with the coming weeks being pretty weak.

looks like it won't make more than 220m or so. Guess to general audiences, even though technically the story wasn't fully told, this movie just felt like more of the same.

Like I said for months, remove the kids from the equation and see the bo plummet.

[vafrow]

It's disappointing that IT2 is going to fall so far behind the first one, but I've felt that this was a possibility for a while.

 

The first half of the story is more exciting than the first (kids fighting scary clown > adults fighting a clown). 

 

It's still a strong return for a movie with a limited budget. It's a little sad that at a likely take of just over $200M domestic, it's going to comfortably be the biggest non-Disney/Marvel film of the year so far. 

[RealLyre]

I think the runtime is at fault here. they could've cut a good 20 minutes off the first act 

[eddyxx]

Nooooooooo, this is Age of Ultron all over again. 

[Nova]

Personally I’m not surprised by the decline with IT Chapter 2. I remember when the first one was about to come out, there was so much hype surrounding it. To the point where I was sure it would make $100M+ OW. All my classmates were talking about it. I saw the trailer all over my timeline. With IT 2, I honestly had no idea it was coming out. I think WB was most likely banking on the viral marketing from the first translating to the second but I don’t think that happened. But even then, I just think the nostalgia carried the first one to what it became and some of that nostalgia has worn off. And most folks associate IT with the kids’ story anyways. So once the adults were added to the equation....well. 

 

Still a $92M OW is amazing for a horror movie. Its just that the first one did so so so well that we are here analyzing “what went wrong” with IT 2. The movie will still be a huge success and highly profitable for WB.

$92m is still higher than any non Marvel or Disney film released this year and It 1 was so profitable that WB could afford to take the hit with the sequel. 

 

The budget is $79m which while high for horror ensures profitability

Wow, that’s not great is it. Current biggest non-Disney/Marvel movie is Us with $175m, half as much as Endgame made in a single weekend. 

 

I think at some point Disney is gonna have to be broken up, because that’s not healthy for the industry.

Or maybe other studios should start making good movies too??

Oh, just stop this shit. It's nothing to do with quality, but brand and licensed/existing product.

The only studio that has something on par where their quality has, indeed, impacted gross, is WB with their DC movies. But even then, Shazam was excellent but got swallowed up by CM and EG, so quality is definitely not the factor you keep banging on about.

[Krissykins]

Ok that Friday is a bit better than $26m, phew. I always knew it would drop. Was hoping for $100m though. 

 

I thought the budget was $85m but turns out it’s $79m. 

 

Looking forward to international numbers too.

You post this three times a day. 

 

Good does not equal box office.

 

We’ve had two rotten billion dollar films this year already.

Into the Spider-Verse was an exceptional studio movie and it still got outgrossed by The Lion King in three days. Maybe they should my ass.
