It Shatters Box Office Records With Massive Opening Weekend

The highly anticipated It is here — and it's already smashed a number of box office records.

Produced by Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema, the adaptation of Stephen King's thriller scored $117.2 million at the domestic box office during its opening weekend and another $62 million overseas for a total global start of $179.2 million.

The movie smashed records for the biggest box office opening ever for the month of September — and has one of the largest openings of the year.
