roughly the childhood half of the novel; the book braids the kids' and adults' timelines together, so it does not map to a clean midpoint.
The first film covers the Losers Club as children, which is roughly half of the novel's material. The book interleaves the childhood and adult storylines rather than telling them in two blocks, so there is no clean chapter to stop at. Reading the whole novel is the natural path.

Stephen King's single 1986 novel It is split across two films. It (2017) covers the childhood half; It Chapter Two (2019) covers the adult half. The novel itself interleaves both timelines, so the films untangle a structure the book braids together.
