Since its premiere in late May, A Quiet Place Part II has proven the ability of the horror genre to bring viewers back to theaters. Its box office domination continued this weekend, when it crossed the $100 million mark in the U.S., becoming the first pandemic-era movie to do so.
In addition to hitting the $100 million mark at the domestic box office, A Quiet Place Part II is close to earning $200 million on the international box office. This horror sequel managed to continue its box office triumph despite tough competition, especially from new movies such as In the Heights and Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway.
A Quiet Place Part II premiered in the U.S. on May 28th. Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe reprised their roles from the first movie, with the director John Krasinski making a brief appearance and Cillian Murphy joining the cast. The sequel was hailed as a worthy successor to A Quiet Place and received praise from the critics.
The movie’s ending left room for a potential third installment, and Blunt previously said Krasinski has an idea for a follow-up. The spin-off of the original movie is also being developed right now, and it’s set to be directed by Jeff Nichols.
