First rotten from The Irish Times (...who still scored it 3/5?)

Still, that's awesome it got to 37 reviews before the first rotten (and yeah it's still a 3/5). It's going to drop. Everyone knows it. APs review will be negative and so will Village Voice.

Certified fresh still looks pretty likely though.

Hmmm it might change although it's apparently up to critic if it goes as fresh or rotten.

If the embargo lifts on the Thursday as was the case with Emoji and The House, its most defiantly a turd!

Ok, Emoji was always going to be a turd embargo or not.

$60m for an R rated horror is unheard of. 

 

So it would be incredible to see! 

 

And if we're discounting Hannibal (?), $55m is unheard of too. Looks like IT will be going in the record books.

If it's 71 on Metacritic then yeah I'm expecting at least a 80% on RT.

I was gonna see this anyway, this weekend - to give ONE LAST CHANCE to Stephen King.

 

But now the reviews have got me worried...

My prediction: 67M OW / 178M DOM

Overperformance: +75M OW / +200M DOM

Underperformance: <50M OW / <115M DOM 

 

Of course this doesn't mean that it will not be profitable if it does less than 50M OW

[AN9815]

I think the second part will likely decrease from the first but still make a lot of money 

[75Live]

34 hours until I am watching this

I like Scott Mendelson, he's a good dude but he isn't my go to critic. I don't even read his reviews mostly but I do click on them to give him clicks. Him not liking a movie has no barring on my opinion on my opinion nor does that mean that it's reviews overall won't be good.

 Yep and I can't wait. After weeks of non-excitement (save WW smashing though milestones), we are in for a real boxoffice event. 

[The Panda]

98!!!!?!!!!

 

Omg

[The Panda]

On a side note, I think the max potential Irma can take from IT is around 7-8m (if it lands in the upper range and like I said, max potential).

 

Then again there's always the chance the news of Irma takes attention away from it, or The opposite (people to to avoid the news).

[a2k]

If IT opens to 65-70 then IT vs Get Out is gonna be one fun showdown. Hope Mojo creates one.

[AJG]

This is doing 90m-100m OW. 

 

I don't do horror films but I'm seeing this shit in IMAX. Just hope it's not too scary.

[filmlover]

Exciting stuff. Now I'm disappointed I'm gonna have to wait until next weekend in all likelihood to see this.

[Cmasterclay]

Wow, this is the third time this year I have whiffed by saying early reactions were overhyping. That happens every year frequently, so that's why I keep getting on it. But outside of outright obvious in advance stinkers  like TF5, Dark Tower, and Mummy, everything has gotten good reviews. Just a very well received slate. Even with the festivals,  almost everything has winded up good. Weird year, in a good way.

[YM!]

Shit, IT sold out for two showings at my cinema, North Shore, this will be massive.

I'm sure the hurricane will hurt it but studios and regular box office predictors alike always claim any slight weather hurts the movies. But yes I'm definitely going to factor the Hurricane into my predictions. The hurricane is probably the only reason I'm not predicting a hundred and going with 88 million instead.
