“It: Chapter Two” tops the North American box office with $91 million, a promising start to fall after a lackluster summer moviegoing season
Proving again the lure of a good scare, the Stephen King-inspired film"IT Chapter Two" took in $91 million this weekend to top the North American box office.
While those ticket sales are behind the jaw-dropping $123 million launch of its predecessor, 2017’s “It,” the follow-up still ranks as the second-best horror opening in history, as well as the second-highest bow for the month of September . Directed by Andy Muschietti, “It: Chapter Two” was also a necessary win for Warner Bros. following a dismal summer that saw disappointments such as “The Kitchen,” “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” and “Shaft.
“It: Chapter Two” clocks in at a lengthy two hours and 50 minutes, nearly 30 minutes longer than the first film. While longer runtimes could result in less screenings and therefore fewer tickets sold, the studio bypassed that by securing 4,570 theatres, the widest September release to date.
