Box office: AQuietPlace2 sets pandemic record with $48 million debut
Pictures film is expected to generate a sizable $58 million through Memorial Day on Monday.
Those ticket sales are significant because it’s not far off from what the movie was projected to make prior to the pandemic. “This is an outstanding opening,” says David A. Gross, who runs the movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research. “[It’s] well above average for a horror sequel.” He adds that the film could have debuted to $60 million if all U.S. theaters had reopen. “Still,” Gross says, “this movie is going to make a lot of money and bring enormous value to streaming.”
“A Quiet Place Part II,” which sees the return of Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe as a family forced to live in near-silence, has the benefit of getting an exclusive theatrical release. It will move to Paramount Plus, the streaming service owned by its parent company ViacomCBS, in 45 days. Recent releases, including the Warner Bros. and Legendary tentpole “Godzilla vs. Kong” and’s “Raya and the Last Dragon,” premiered simultaneously on digital platforms.
