Pennywise Dominates HBO Max: 'IT' and 'Welcome to Derry' Top Charts
Pennywise is dancing all over the HBO movie chart and TV Chart on HBO Max.
For nearly forty years, Stephen King's IT has haunted readers with its unforgettable villain, the sinister clown known as Pennywise. The story first terrified audiences in 1990 with a chilling miniseries adaptation, cementing Pennywise as a pop culture icon. Decades later, the tale was reimagined for a new generation with a two-part film series released in 2017, reigniting the fear and fascination surrounding the shape-shifting entity from Derry, Maine.

Each adaptation has managed to capture the essence of the original story while adding new layers to the legend of the dancing clown.
