‘IT’ Actually Made $123 Million at the Box Office This Weekend!
Numbers for New Line Cinema’s IT continue to float.
Early tracking expected a $50 million opening for the Stephen King adaptation, then $65m, before reports said it could actually hit as high as $85m. After a record-breaking Friday night, $100m was all but guaranteed, and even then nobody anticipated the whopping $117m it was estimated to have made early yesterday morning. Guess what? That was just an estimate. New reports indicate that IT actually pulled in north of $123 million over the course of this weekend. Not only is IT a horror film but it’s also R-rated, making this one of the biggest success stories in the history of cinema. It has shown that genre fans are getting sick of fast food horror and are ready to be taken seriously. It’s time that studios invest in us as well as their superhero franchises.
$123 million. Holy shit. We’ll update this with any new numbers that come in later today.

‘Onslaught’ – First Look at Unrecognizable Dan Stevens as a Mad Scientist in Adam Wingard’s A24 Movie
The brand new official trailer for director Adam Wingard’s new A24 movie Onslaught arrived this morning, with the upcoming film set in the same world as Wingard’s The Guest.
Onslaught is set in the very same town as The Guest, with both films centering on the very same secret program. “So you could actually technically call this a sequel,” Wingard teases.
But will Dan Stevens make an appearance in Onslaught? Yes, actually. The star of The Guest is reteaming with Wingard for Onslaught, but he will NOT be playing the same character.
Instead, Dan Stevens is playing a mad German scientist in Onslaught, presumably the man responsible for creating the film’s “perfect soldiers” gone wrong. Stevens is actually glimpsed in today’s trailer, but he’s completely unrecognizable and buried under heavy prosthetics.
Dan Stevens played David Collins in The Guest, you may recall, a military test subject who becomes an unstoppable super soldier. He’s clearly not playing the same character in Onslaught, but the role of “German Scientist” looks to be a fun wink to his role in The Guest.
Watch the new trailer below for a sneak peek at Dan Stevens as German Scientist!
Adam Wingard’s Onslaught releases in theaters September 4, 2026.
The duo behind The Guest, director Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett, are re-teaming for the upcoming Onslaught, which stars Adria Arjona in the leading role.
Here’s the synopsis: “When a rogue squad of genetically engineered super soldiers break loose in the desert, a badass Army sniper must unleash hell to protect her young daughter.”
