Pennywise is coming to get your teenagers out of the house. It: Chapter 2, courtesy of Warner Bros.
At number one, the big tent-pole release this week was horror sequel It: Chapter 2 (Warner Bros), which went out wide on 501 screens for a total box office of $6.4 million and a screen average of $11,786. That’s a lot of multiplex popcorn. If anecdotal evidence is worth anything, my own teenage son, not a particularly avid cinema-goer, left the PlayStation on Saturday night to see this with a bunch of mates. The verdict? ‘Not as crap as I expected.’
