In the 2017 movie It: Chapter One, the story takes place in the late 1980s, specifically around 1988–1989 in the town of Derry, Maine. Georgie’s death occurs in October 1988, and most of the Losers’ Club events unfold during the following months and the summer of 1989.
Movie timeline
The film shifts Stephen King’s original child timeline from the 1950s in the novel to the 1980s in the adaptation. The planned adult story in Chapter Two is then set roughly 27 years later, in the 2010s, to match that change.
