I'm confident that we may be looking at an all timer in the horror genre.
Maybe (just maybe), WB knows that reviews to this are mostly very good and are waiting until right before the movie opens to drop all this love onto it.TCTTS said:
Usually, when a studio doesn't allow reveiws to drop until the day before a film's release, it means it's likely a crap movie and the studio wants to delay the negative buzz for as long as they can. That said, I've heard/read nothing but good things about this one. That, and it's poised to pull in $80M+ this weekend at the box office, so I wouldn't look too much into it. I think the buzz is right where WB wants it to be and maybe they just don't want to risk rocking the boat.

I thought it was a damn good adaptation...key word: adaptation. I think book fans will both love the depiction of Pennywise and the Loser's Club but hate the lack of development (byproduct of cramming so much story into a feature-length film) and the third act.
As a horror movie, it delivers big time, in my opinion.
Skarsgard's Pennywise was perfect and the Loser's Club/Bowers gang were Stranger Things-good. 80s references we're also money. Several nods to the book and a couple to the miniseries. Staying past the credits isn't worth it.
Can't wait for Chapter 2!

Lots of hype surrounding the trailers, goodwill from Stranger Things, now 90% on RT, plus an all-around good couple years for horror...
Could this do $100M?
Lots of each.bthomas98 said:
For those that have seen it, how is the blood/gore/scariness? My 13/15 year olds really want to see this and had made plans this weekend.
They have seen Stranger Things but the most violence they have seen is probably Nolan Batman trilogy/Marvel movies.
i'd guess they've seen way more violence than you think.bthomas98 said:
