The first film was one of 2017’s biggest surprise hits. With a budget around $35M, IT would go on to become one of the biggest R-Rated films of all time, earning over $700M worldwide. In addition, the film was a massive critical success, with an 85% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The sequel, focusing on the adult parts of the classic Stephen King novel, was quickly approved.
