The first indication that a new adaptation of Stephen King’s It could be a hit came back in March, when a teaser became the most viewed online trailer in 24 hours to date – a record only recently topped by Avengers: Infinity War. The movie about a group of young friends plagued by visions of a creepy clown has since smashed all box-office records for horror movies and is the most successful King adaptation to date, taking $694 million at the worldwide box office. It also made Bill Skarsgård, who turned in a terrifying performance as Pennywise, IMDb’s top breakout star of 2017. It: Chapter Two is set for release in 2019.
