Box Office Mojo reports that the IT movie debuted in 4,103 theaters, pulling in an impressive $28,552 per-screen average.
The movie ended up setting a new September box office record, earning $117.1 million, nearly three times higher than the previous record-holder, Hotel Transylvania 2, which took in $48.5 million back in 2015.
This adaptation continues the trend of R-rated fare overperforming at the box office, although it didn’t quite reach the opening weekend record set by last year’s Deadpool, which opened with a whopping $132.4 million.
($2.5 million), Spider-Man: Homecoming ($2 million), Dunkirk ($1.9 million), Logan Lucky ($1.8 million) and The Emoji Movie ($1 million).
