In all honesty, there was nowhere else for It: Chapter Two to go but down, after the first installment in Andy Muschietti’s two-part Stephen King extravaganza became a cultural phenomenon. Widely praised by critics and absolutely adored by fans, the terrifying tale that turned Bill Skarsgård’s Pennywise into an instant icon ended up becoming the highest-grossing horror movie of all-time after earning a mind-blowing $702 million at the box office, which was also enough to see it become the third…
