It is now the number one grossing horror film of all-time for an opening weekend in Australia and New Zealand. Raking in $7.47 million at the Aussie box office, this puts it ahead of movies such s Wonder Woman and DUNKIRK.

More specifically in New Zealand, IT has reached the top 20 highest grossing movies of all-time in an opening weekend for Warner Bros.

  • Biggest all-time September opening weekend.
