12 Huge Movies That IT Destroyed At The Box Office

1. Transformers: The Last Knight

Let's face it, though: if you told someone six months ago that Transformers would get trounced by an R-rated Stephen King adaptation, you'd be laughed out of whatever establishment you dared to share such nonsense.
