The amazing box office for "It" - the adaptation of the classic Stephen King book - just keeps climbing.

After taking in over $123.4 million its opening weekend, the biggest opening ever for the month of September, the movie is now the highest-grossing R-rated horror of all time.

Now Warner Bros. has officially pulled the trigger on a sequel. Chapter two of the story will be released September 6, 2019, according to the studio.

Always intended to be two movies, the first, called "Chapter One" at the end of the movie, looks at the Losers Club as kids when they first encounter Pennywise. The second will then jump to present day when the losers are adults and must return to Derry to take on Pennywise one last time. This mirrors the structure King did with the book.

"It" director Andres Muschietti revealed some plans he has for the sequel to Entertainment Weekly.

Below is everything we know that will happen in the sequel:
