I know a lot of Constant Readers have helped to bump up the Box Office takings but I'm hoping that other cinemagoers who haven't yet read Mr. King's works will decide to read the book and become Constant Readers as a result.
Just saw IT! SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS

That's a really good point. I had a related thought, which is that it's significant that Beverly is taken not because of any inherent weakness or bad decision on her part...Pennywise just shows up. None of the Losers are safe, except perhaps when they are all together. (As Robert Gray said, it's quite plausible that she is targeted because she is the most fearless member of the group).
Went and saw It for the second time today! It's still amazing! Loved it even more!
I still think that Pennywise used Bev as bait to get all of the kids down in the sewers. He grabbed her because, IMHO, from the moment that Bev stepped out of her dress and jumped into the quarry before any of them had the guts to do it, all of those boys fell in love with her on some level. She had more guts than they did and she became 'one of the boys' in this scene. She earned their respect and love here.
Must check my local cinema listings. Would like to see it again myself.
Was gonna go for a third helping this weekend but...things got in the way.
Aw jeeze, I just gotta repeat how damn pleased I was by this flick, and how happy I am that It just killed like it did. Take that, Linda Blair.
But...dang, September 6th, 2019? Those fat assed nuclear D-Bags better not blow up the damn Earth before then. Fingers crossed!

I'm here in the theatre for my third viewing and once again it's empty. Better not see any clowns...
There were about 8-10 people in the theater yesterday for my 2nd viewing but it was an 11:50 matinee.I'm here in the theatre for my third viewing and once again it's empty. Better not see any clowns...
Yeah it's 2:00 p.m. where I am now. Just a few people trickling in and I have my favourite row all to myself. Can't ask for better than this. Gonna get off my phone now.
Spoiler alert: the clown done it.
Well, that's the third time this King fella has taken my money. This film still hasn't lost its potency, and with every viewing you'll find new things to appreciate. A funny note: when the lights came on there were some loud sniffles in the cinema. As I was leaving I noticed the noises were coming from three couples sitting in the back, and the guys were the ones wiping their eyes and sniffling. 
And that's it for me. I'm ready for the Director's Cut now, Mr Muschietti.

Have now seen IT three times. Some friends and I are dressing up as the Loser’s Club for Halloween and going to a live performance of Rocky Horror Picture Show/costume contest!
Which one of 'em is dressing up as Silver?
Ha! We’re actually missing a Bill.
Eh, don't worry about it. When you're drunk enough, you'll stutter. You'll stutter too...
I hope you have a great time at the show!
Finally saw "It" at the theatre, along with a large, heavy bag of popcorn. Was the only one at first, but thankfully a couple came in at the last minute because I would have gone insane if left alone. It was PERFECTION. I loved every little thing about it.
Yay, us!
Yay, us!
Huh? I thought it was brilliant! Did you see it in the theater in 3d? It was mesmerizing! It was beaten for best director & best picture by The Hurt Locker -- directed by James Cameron's ex-wife! (his third -- he's only had five. So far.) You've gots to hands it to them. She figures out what year he was going to finish & produce a project he'd started writing in notebooks in the 70's when he was in college, and just as his greatest masterpiece is about to hit the screen, she slaps together this tawdry little war movie and snatched two Oscars right out of his waiting hands! Women. She constructed that little piece of marital vengeance like something from the classic game mousetrap! Diabolical!
His voice is beautiful. I love the little shrugs at the end.
