I'm glad he's not trying to imitate Tim Curry. He seems a lot more playful, and this is making the mood swings a lot more disturbing.

Annabelle 2 brought in $35 million this weekend, and I have to think that's a good sign for It next month as it shows a R rated horror can bring in good numbers. The trailer was shown before, and this one seems to have way more advance hype than Annabelle. As long as this movie is good it should have a good box office intake. It helps that it won't have much competition either. Take this with a grain of salt, but someone on Reddit said they saw it at a press screener and gave it a 9/10. They couldn't provide any details about it though because of an NDA.

He disliked the Shining as an adaptation of his work but I believe he liked it as its own thing.

I got my tickets today for the opening Friday! Now I just need to finish reading the book (600 pages to go!) and probably re-watch the miniseries to reach maximum hype.

BiggerBoat posted:^^^Big time.^^^ From what I understand they haven't even started It part 2. IMDB doesn't even have a page for it. Mama is worth a watch. The third act is a little out there, but it's s pretty creepy movie.

The Fuzzy Hulk posted:Maybe they are waiting to see if It pulls a "Dark Tower". It's on track for a $50m opening weekend, which is insanely high for a horror movie. The RT score will determine how it fares from there.

I'd cast Jay Baruchel as adult Richie. He's annoying enough to capture the disc jockey character.

If the movie takes place in 1989 the kids likely won't have seen the R-rated movies because the methods to see r-rated movies was limited. You could sneak into a movie, and you might have a vcr, but that's about it. The kids are 9-10 years old. Their knowledge of 80s monsters would be more from pop culture osmosis than a direct viewing. They could still do a Freddy or a Jason, but it would be a Halloween costume version of the two.

Just thinking about it though, you could still do a werewolf. It wouldn't be based off the old 50s version, but probably more along the lines of An American Werewolf or the Thriller video.

Phylodox posted:The Thriller werewolf was pretty obviously an homage to I Was a Teenage Werewolf, which was the werewolf that appeared in It, so it wouldn't make that much of a difference. poo poo. I didn't even make that connection.

Timeless Appeal posted:I just bought the last two tickets for the 7 PM Alamo Drafthouse screening in Brooklyn next Friday. All the Thursday night shows are booked. I feel like this movie is about to do really, really well. Individual movies for each loser, and a Henry Bowers spin off franchise. I'm so hyped for this movie. My big worry now is that it my expectations may be way too high. I'm going to finish the book this weekend then watch the original mini. Next Friday can't come soon enough.

Sixth Sense was PG13, so it has an advantage right there. For R-rated horror, the current domestic box office champ for opening weekend is Hannibal, which did just over $58 million. I think It will beat that. The highest grossing R-rated horror of all time is the Exorcist at $232.9 million (domestic, not adjusted for inflation). It'll be hard to reach that benchmark. The next highest horror is Get Out, at $175.4 million. As long as It doesn't get killed by reviews I think it will end up around here.

Overall I liked it. It could've spent a bit more time establishing Mike and Ben into the club, and Bowers was underutilized. That said, everything involving Pennywise was awesome. One thing: Did anyone else think that the dead kids in the Hocksetter death scene looked straight out of Night of the Demons?

I think for part 2 will probably be something like this (contains book spoilers): Act One: the phone calls, Stan's suicide, update on Henry Bowers Act Two: the losers reunite, new individual scares (witch, ball game, etc), Bowers attacks Act three: final battle with It, and the destruction of Derry They should do some historical flashbacks as well, to really set up why Derry must be destroyed.

Based on Friday box office numbers they were estimating $105 million opening weekend, but there was barely a drop in attendance on Saturday so the new projections are >$120 million. This puts it in Hunger Game/Harry Potter territory for box office success.

Usually a minor can get in to an r-rated movie as long as they're with an adult.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:If we insist on interpreting IT as a literally-existing animal, then the unavoidable conclusion is that IT is just a stupid human, with human dreams and aspirations. The people calling him pure evil are being speciesist. IT may be, biologically, a spider - but IT is a human spider-person. Like Spider-man?
