A Quiet Place Part II to snag $60M opening weekend

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Writer-director John Krasinski's A QUIET PLACE PART II with Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe, Cillian Murphy, and Djimon Hounsou tiptoes into a theater near you this March. And today we hear the film is projected to score a killer opening weekend around $60M. 

Analysts are comparing the opening to such movies as US ($71.1M opening), HALLOWEEN ($76.2M), and IT: CHAPTER TWO ($91M). And by those stats, the new movie should have no problem clearing the original's $50.2M opening. Plus, it's the only major studio wide release that weekend.

Do YOU plan to see the movie opening weekend? Let us know below!

Krasinski said he's open to returning to the world of silent killers for A QUIET PLACE PART III. He said:

I set up a couple of tiny little Easter eggs in [Part II] that not only explain more about [the original], but would allow for more mythology. But, being a Boston Catholic, I can’t be like, ‘Yeah, of course, there’ll be a third!’ No, not at all. I haven’t heard from the studio that they want a third one. But the good news is that the studio and I are on the same page in that this isn’t one of those franchises where we keep pumping them out if they make money. I think we’ve proven that this is an original idea that is really beloved by people in a way that… I don’t want to break that promise to people. But if I could think of a way to continue this world as elegantly as people deserve, because they gave me their trust in watching this movie and loving this movie as much as they did? Sure. But if you’re asking: do I think I could just do a third one, to just do a third one? No way.

Following the deadly events at home, the Abbott family must now face the terrors of the outside world as they continue their fight survival in silence. Forced to venture into the unknown, they quickly realize that the creatures that hunt by sound are not the only threats that lurk beyond the sand path.
