The film earned over $700 million at the worldwide box office, making it the highest-grossing horror movie of all time.
The filmmaker revealed that it would be the 1981 horror classic The Howling.
IT debuted in September of last year to the tune of $123.1 million on opening weekend, the highest opening weekend ever for a September release, for a fall release, and for a horror movie.
It should be noted that no remake is actively in development for The Howling, this is all just wishful thinking.
