Good news—A Quiet Place Part II is coming to theaters earlier than expected.

Paramount Pictures has moved up the release date of a Quiet Place Part II from September 17 to May 28.

The film, directed by John Krasinski and starring Emily Blunt, has been moved around many times during the pandemic. It was originally supposed to be released in March 2020 but was rescheduled after the pandemic started to spread in the U.S. A red carpet premiere for the film was held in New York City on March 8, 2020, right before the country was forced to shut down.

“They always say good things come to those who wait,” Krasinski wrote on Twitter. “Well… I think we’ve waited long enough.”

The news comes just a week after Paramount announced they would be shortening the theatrical window with plans to put A Quiet Place Part II, Mission: Impossible 7, and other upcoming titles on the streaming service Paramount+ after 45 days in theaters. Before the pandemic, cinema operators were required to keep their movies in theaters for 90 days.

A Quiet Place Part II features the surviving members of the Abbot family—Evelyn (Blunt) and her children, Regan (Millicent Simmonds), Marcus (Noah Jupe), and a newborn baby living in silence to hide from creatures who hunt noise, while facing the outside world.
