The It Movie is setting itself up for a record-breaking opening weekend at the box-office. The film made $13.5M in Thursday night previews, making it the largest horror pre-show gross ever, the largest R-rated preview, the largest September preview and the largest ever for a movie based on a a Stephen King book. That’s a whole lot of ‘largest‘s.

It beat out the widely popular Deadpool, which was released Feb. 15, 2016 and ended its three-day weekend with $132.4M. But, Deadpool opened during President’s weekend, a holiday. It also had the benefit of 374 Imax and 475 PLF screens, according to Deadline.

It is releasing outside of holiday weekends, isn’t a superhero film and has very little star power. This makes its preview results an impressive feat for New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. But, I’m sure they already knew they had a hit on their hands; Stephen King has openly praised and promoted the film, and the It sequel is already in the works.

The film is based off the 1986 Stephen King novel of the same name. It is directed by Andy Muschietti (Mama). It stars Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise the Dancing Clown. Jaeden Lieberher, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs, Jack Dylan Grazer make up the Losers’ Club.

The It movie opens in Theatres tonight, September 8th.
