‘A Quiet Place’ sequel leads box office, projects to gross $58.5 million

The much-anticipated horror thriller movie ‘A Quiet Place Part II’ has been opened for the audience in cinema and is projected to gross $58.5 million in North America.

John Krasinski’s thriller sequel opened over the weekend to a pandemic-best $48.4 million, according to sources. The film is expected to gross $58.5 million in North America. It added another $22 million in ticket sales overseas.

The latest “Quiet Place” — a John Krasinski-directed sequel to the popular 2018 film about a young family trying to outwit horrific blind monsters with frighteningly keen hearing — is projected to take in $58.5 million for the four-day Memorial Day weekend, said industry watcher Exhibitor Relations.

A Quiet Place II will also turn to stream after 45 days in theaters when it becomes available on Paramount+. Moreover, the movie’s debut was much watched throughout Hollywood as the kickoff to its delayed summer movie season. After largely sitting out the pandemic, or diverting to streaming platforms, a lineup of blockbusters is again queuing up. On tap are Warner Bros.′ In the Heights, Universals’ F9, and Disney’s Black Widow.

Last week, Universal Pictures’ ninth installment in the Fast & Furious franchise, F9, opened with $162 million in ticket sales in eight international markets, and $135 million in China alone. In its second weekend, F9, which opens in North America on June 25, raced toward $230 million worldwide.
