IT: Chapter 2 could snag a whopping $150 million opening weekend

Director Andy Muschietti's IT: CHAPTER TWO aka the upcoming sequel to his hit adaptation of STEPHEN KING'S IT looks to be super-freaky times to this here horror fan. It hits this September. And today we have word that the movie could snag a whopping $150 million opening weekend!

Personally, I could totally see IT: CHAPTER TWO snagging an opening weekend of $150 million if not more. After all, the original movie debuted to a stellar $123 million back in 2017 and I for one think Pennywise fever has only grown since then. Whether or not you agree with me or the powers that be over at Box-office Pro is up to you. But I think we can all agree that this new IT movie will surely snag more than the first flick's killer haul.
