I'm also leaning towards a 200M opening for It 2. hoping it will get at least to 500M so it can help the overall results

Tracking is very confusing lol and I hope is not misleading but yeah, $200M are the target and they look good.

BTW, has the Box office crossed the 14Billion Pesos mark? Last I have is it's was almost about to cross 13Billion but I don't have the exact numbers, you have more information that what I have.

Very close. Should top it next week.

I know you have already said that Disney will probably not do anything but is just so close that I really think they will do something about it... at least lie about next weekend numbers¡ Hahaha

Is going to be as frustrating to see as Maleficent only $3M below $600M 😅

Wouldn't surprise me

First It debuted among the best 15 openings ever back in 2017. Today is No. 24. 

 

Chapter II is set to debut among 15 best openings of all time. Talk about real consistency. 

 

Final numbers before Thursday night previews put it set to open in the range of $230M-$240M across its first 3 1/4 days. $215M-$225M for its first frame so it's completely plausible for Pennywise to kick Furious 7 out of Top 10.

Interesting! Imagine the results with a better ER...

Massive ramp on sales for Pennywise's return during the hours prior to release. Thinking $12M-$14M for Thursday night previews putting Incredibles 2 record in jeopardy. Record would be a lock if wasn't to Cinepolis' laziness and lack of disposition to add more shows. In Cinemex the increase has been so big that is ahead of Captain Marvel's midnights.

In admissions probably is even higher. 

 

The most amazing thing there is UK's opening for Shrek The Third

Shrek the third was including previews (the Brits are sneaky like that). Charlie noted in the comments that Shrek would be removed.

18.1M lc ($900K) Thu night previews for It 2. Will be huge!

 

Lion King out of the Top 10. Is it playing anywhere, or bye bye billion?

[Carlangonz]

Welp! So Chapter II is coming behind first It. Don't know if is lack of response or the lower number of screens compared to other juggernauts. 

[Purple Minion]

$3.4M up to Fri for It 2. From Deadline:

 

Mexico made $2.5M from 3,360 screens and had a 76% share of the Top 5 on Friday. Again, the biggest WB launch day of 2019. Including sneaks there, the cume is $3.4M.

$10.2M OW for It 2, it picked up on Sat/Sun. That's about 198M lc, depending on which ER was used - so many fluctuations lately. #1 international market so far.

 

The Lion King's total is $51.8M.
