Many expected for the creepy adaptation of Stephen King’s “It” to be a box office hit over the weekend, but Pennywise and the children of Derry are surpassing even the wildest of expectations. The movie is on track to gross a record-breaking $117.2 million from 4,103 locations across the U.S. and Canada after dropping in theaters on Friday. All of this is made more impressive by the fact that the film did all of this with a relatively modest budget of roughly $35 million. The novel and series followed the main characters during two portions of their lives, 27 years apart. The Associated Press contributed to this story.
