While we wait for the initial box office numbers to roll in, New Line is already developing a sequel to IT, but it probably won’t hit theaters until 2019.
Before the latest adaptation of Stephen King’s IT even hit theaters, early box office predictions suggested anywhere from a $60 to $70 million opening.
By contrast, this year’s other big King adaptation, The Dark Tower, has grossed $47.9 million domestic in the month since its release.
The sequel may include flashback scenes that would require the young cast of the first film to return.
