According to Deadline,A Quiet Place Part IIis particularly anticipated by women under 25 and the African-American and Hispanic demographics, but is “strong with all quads.” Analysts are reportedly comparing the projectedA Quiet Place Part IIopening numbers with other genre sequels likeUs($71.1 million),Halloween($76.2 million), andIt Chapter 2($91 million). While it doesn’t have the sway of long-running franchises ofHalloweenorIt, $60 million is a respectable number for a sequel to a surprise hit.
It likely won’t receive the same massive word-of-mouth hype that the firstA Quiet Placereceived, however, with the film coming out of nowhere to become the biggest thing out of SXSW 2018, where it made its world premiere. Director and starJohn Krasinski(who returns to helmA Quiet Place Part II) was hailed as a new horror wunderkind whileA Quiet Placebecame a crossover genre hit, crushing its $20 million opening weekend projects and making back more than three times its $17 million budget. But with the uber-talentedCillian Murphyjoining the cast opposite returning starsEmily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe,A Quiet Place Part IIstill holds its own as one of the most anticipated major studio releases this spring.
