But that's not all, the rerelease will feature an 8-minute preview of IT: CHAPTER TWO!

Fandango broke the news over on Facebook, writing:

Meanwhile, IT: CHAPTER TWO just snagged an R-rating via the MPAA for "disturbing violent content and bloody images throughout, pervasive language, and some crude sexual material." Box-office analysts are predicting the film could make as much as $150 million opening weekend. Let's make that happen. In the meantime, here's the synopsis:

Twenty-seven years after the horrific events of the summer of 1989, It (Bill Skarsgård) returns. The Losers' Club fulfills their promises and returns to Derry to put an end to the shape-shifting beast once and for all.

Bill Skarsgård returns in the seminal role of Pennywise along with James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa, Jay Ryan, James Ransone, and Andy Bean as the adult Loser's Club. Reprising their roles as the original members of the Losers Club are Jaeden Lieberher, Wyatt Oleff, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Chosen Jacobs, and Jack Dylan Grazer. Andy Muschietti directs from a screenplay by Gary Dauberman based on the novel by Stephen King. Barbara Muschietti, Dan Lin, and Roy Lee produce while Marty Ewing, Seth Grahame-Smith, and David Katzenberg are the executive producers. IT CHAPTER TWO will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. on September 6, 2019.
