There's a wide estimate for "Chapter 2's" weekend haul, with some saying it will pull in between $105 million to $110 million, while others foresee it topping $130 million and becoming the horror movie with the highest opening weekend sales.
With opening weekend ticket sales of $123 million, "It" holds the record for the highest horror movie opening, and it is the highest-grossing horror movie of all time, with sales of $700 million during its run. Most horror movies will see a strong opening weekend, but often that is followed by a 70% drop off in sales during the second weekend because they are not "good" movies, from a critic's perspective. These movies don't bring in non-horror fans and don't entice repeat viewings.
The film is currently Fandango's best-selling horror movie in terms of presale tickets, beating out "It," "Us," and the 2018 "Halloween."
