'It' Trailer Demolishes 24-Hour Views Record

We did it, Constant Readers!

Just kidding: There's no way to pretend the new It movie isn't already a global phenomenon way beyond the sphere of Stephen King superfans, very possibly set to make a bigger cultural footprint than the 1986 novel or the 1990 Tim Curry–starring miniseries ever did. Warner Bros. and New Line's big-screen remake's transcendent first trailer racked up 197 million views in its first 24 hours online, devouring The Fate of the Furious, which took the No. 1 spot last December with 139 million.
