The new movie A Quiet Place: Day 1 is coming to theaters in the United States, and its start is promising.

A Quiet Place: Day 1, the sequel to the war of the monsters launched by John Krasinski in 2018 has just arrived in theaters. If this new opus, too wise and anonymous, has not convinced the editorial staff of Ecran Large, it is clear that it has managed to intrigue American spectatorsThis is evidenced by the overseas launch of the film directed by Michael Sarnoski, with Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn.

A Quiet Place Horrifies US Box Office

Indeed, during its opening weekend, Without a sound: day 1 raised around $53 million in over 3,700 theaters across the United States. This is a great performance for the horror thriller, especially since industry estimates did not exceed $50 million in revenue. The film directed by Michael Sarnoski therefore has the best start of the three installments in the saga, ahead of the $50 million Without a sound and the 47 million Without a sound 2 (without taking into account inflation).

Also, Jour 1 was not not far from taking the lead in the weekend scoressince the juggernaut Vice-versa 2 was not even ahead of him by 5 million in revenue. Note that the production budget of This new opus, estimated at 67 million dollars according to Varietyis much closer to that of the second part of the franchise (61 million) than that of the first (17 million).

“Shh, let’s not cry victory too soon!”

To see if Jour 1 will manage to stay the course and surpass the 160 million domestic revenues and the 297 million collected worldwide by Without a sound 2, during the COVID period. While waiting to find out more, let’s remember that the film directed by Michael Sarnoski brings together in its cast, alongside Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn, the excellent Alex Wolff (Heredity, Old) and Djimon Hounsou (Blood Diamond, Rebel Moon). Without a sound: day 1 is available in our French cinemas since June 26.
