Audiences are proving that they're down with the clowns when it comes to theatrical offerings this fall, as a new survey of Fandango users confirms that IT CHAPTER TWO and Joker are the two most anticipated fall movies. These statistics likely won't surprise most, as 2017's IT went on to become one of the year's biggest hits, taking in more than $700 million worldwide. Joker, meanwhile, delivers audiences a spinoff film focusing solely on the iconic Batman villain, having previously been featured in Batman, The Dark Knight, and Suicide Squad, all of which went on to become not only box office successes but veritable cultural phenomena.

"With a fall chill in the air, IT CHAPTER TWO wins the fan vote as the season's most anticipated movie and is outselling any other horror movie in presales," Fandango Managing Editor Erik Davis shared on their site. "Members of the Losers' Club aren't kids anymore, and fans are excited to see them return to where the horror all began. IT CHAPTER TWO delivers tons of memorable scares and is a terrific companion to the previous film."
