It was always expected that IT would do well, but now it appears that the movie is going to set a new September box office record, as the IT movie is looking at an opening weekend of $50 million or more.
If IT even arrives on the low end of the current box office tracking, it will be the new September record holder for the biggest opening weekend.
As far as live-action movies go, Insidious: Chapter 2 currently holds the September opening weekend record with $40.3 million at the box office.
According to Deadline, IT is currently tracking for an opening weekend between $50-$60 million.
