It | Sept. 8, 2017 | Warner Brothers | Andy Muschietti directing. Trailer on Page 12 NO SPOILER DISCUSSION. Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes

[MCKillswitch123]

That was a sweet looking trailer. WB always nails the marketing of their horror. Well, they nail the marketing of almost everything, they have the best marketing team in the world, but horror especially has been greatly aided by their promotion.

 

I'm not expecting this to break HT2's OW record - it's still a horror movie, after all, it's not gonna put 50M OW or something - but I'd definitely not be shocked w/an OW anywhere between Don't Breathe and Get Out (26-33), maybe more even. Stephen King is an incredibly popular writer and It is one of his most famous and iconic stories (a lot of people have good memories of the TV series). Whatever the case may be, unless this gets bad reviews, this'll be the Blair Witch we all thought Blair Witch was gonna be numbers-wise.

Kids these days.

 

I was really looking forward to it until I saw the trailer too so Im disappointed.

[Lavochkin]

Looks darn right creepy! I am a big fan of the cinematography too, looks great.

 

I have to say out of nowhere i'm pretty excited for this one.

[Krissykins]

This seems to be getting a big reaction on facebook and twitter from non-horror fans.

 

Points to a break out.

So you were looking forward to it but didn't like the trailer so you're going to not see it and then when reviews are out-of-this-world good you will change your mind and go see it. LOL

Its the only major release being released on my birthday weekend so nah Im seeing it anyways. lol.

I literally have a knot in my stomach, f*** that trailer to hell and f*** clowns and balloons too. 

[Jandrew]

Horror has been on a roll lately. Commercially and critically. What sets this apart from Get Out, Don't Breathe, Lights Out, etc is...Pennywise. He can market himself. Plus the clown sighting controversy last year adds fuel to that fire.

 

I don't have a prediction yet, but this will be a hit. It seems people have been wanting intrigue, not just scares, and this seems to have it.

Looks cool. Not Stranger Things cool, but cool nonetheless. 

[MCKillswitch123]

Speaking of Stranger Things, I think that its success really boosted people's appetite for something like this - an 80's stylized kids ensemble w/horror thematics alas, well, Stephen King. And Finn Wolfhard, Mike from ST, is playing one of the kids in the Losers Club, so there's that.

 

Btw, the cinematography is gorgeous.

goofy. But I've never been a scared by clowns guy so the original it didn't play well with me either. And I agree with wb those are pretty rote trailer scares.

[fmpro]

That.... was awesome!!!!! Much better than i expected...

 

I will say this to you all...

I"ll watch the trailer in a bit. But WB does solid with horror, with The Conjuring 1 & 2, Annabelle, and Lights Out. So this debut solid but have so-so legs.

Finn is very popular. If Millie was in it too their fans would go crazy.

good trailer

[Heretic]

Love it. 

[nick64]

Pretty solid trailer. Should do well, I'm seeing a Don't Breathe run at the moment.

 

Anyone else think the sound mixing in that trailer was just awful though? I could barely hear what was being said.

It looks decent but Remakes of Stephen King Adaptations have sucked.
