The second part of the Warner's clown horror arrives in the same slot it dominated 2 years ago. Buzz is significantly lighter this time, but I always expected a drop-off from the first film. The coming of age aspect of the "past" segment was always more popular than the grown up part. Still, the first film did $700m worldwide on a $30m budget. This one is budgeted at $70m, reportedly. Even if it loses half its worldwide audience (it won't!), it will still be hugely profitable. Chapter 2 is the only opener this weekend, but several of the upcoming September releases are already tracking to promising numbers. No big breakouts, but enough films doing above expectations (and budgets) to keep this normally dead time of the year afloat. Outside of the top 10, The Peanut Butter Falcon is doing surprisingly well. It'll pass $10m this weekend, enough to make it a bit of a late summer indie sleeper.
