'It: Chapter Two' Floats To The Top Of The Box Office With $91 Million Debut

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING LOS ANGELES, Sept 8, - Leave it to Pennywise to deliver a much-needed jolt to the domestic box office. Warner Bros. and New Line’s “It: Chapter Two” arrived with $91 million, a promising start to fall after a lackluster summer moviegoing season. 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.” Overseas, “It: Chapter Two” scared up a solid $94 million for a global debut of $185 million. Since “It: Chapter Two” was the only newcomer to movie theater marquees, popcorn season leftovers filled out box office charts. Disney’s “The Lion King” nabbed fourth place with $4.2 million in its eighth week in theaters and has generated $529 million in North America.
