Paramount’s decision to delay “A Quiet Place Part II” follows their cancellation of “Sonic the Hedgehog” in international territories. Paramount said in a statement, “After much consideration, and in light of the ongoing and developing situation concerning coronavirus and restrictions on global travel and public gatherings, Paramount Pictures will be moving the worldwide release of ‘A Quiet Place Part II.’ We believe in and support the theatrical experience, and we look forward to bringing this film to audiences this year once we have a better understanding of the impact of this pandemic on the global theatrical marketplace.” Box office expectations are high for “Part II,” and opening the film amidst the coronavirus outbreak could have greatly effected the numbers considering theaters across Europe remain closed. The horror film took in $188 million in the U.S. The original “A Quiet Place” was a major financial success for Paramount in 2018. “A Quiet Place Part II” reunites Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe as members of the Abbott Family, who venture out away from home and link up with fellow survivors in an apocalyptic world where alien monsters hunt for prey using only sound. Paramount Should Just Quit Streaming at This Point - Analyst As insanely excited as we all are for you to see this movie, I’m going to wait to release the film until we can all see it together. “Well due to the ever-changing circumstances of what’s not going on around us now is clearly not the right time to do that. “One of the things I’m most proud of is that people have said our movie is one you have to see all together,” Krasinski says. Krasinski, who wrote and directed the sequel, issued a statement on social media explaining how the coronavirus pandemic has made it impossible for the world to experience “A Quiet Place Part II” together, which is his ultimate wish for the movie. The film will be released nationwide.Įarlier: Paramount Pictures is delaying the upcoming release of John Krasinski’s horror sequel “A Quiet Place Part II.” The movie was set to begin its international rollout on March 18 (including in the United Kingdom) before a nationwide bow in the U.S. Even with aggresive plans for one original movie a week on Paramount+ beginning in 2022, it would be nice if what would have otherwise been a surefire $300-$400 million global hit could bring some solid theatrical revenue.Update, April 2: Paramount Pictures has announced it will now open “ A Quiet Place Part II” in theaters September 4. It’ll reportedly be on Paramount+ after 45 days in theaters (another buffer against potential theatrical disinterest), and Mark Wahlberg’s Infinite will now skip theaters to debut on Paramount+. Its lower budget makes it an ideal “first biggie of the summer,” the lack of other guaranteed blockbusters for Paramount puts it in a more precarious position. The film is unofficially kicking off the summer movie season alongside Walt Disney’s Cruella with Warner Bros.’ Those Who Wish Me Dead, Lionsgate’s Spiral: From the Book of Saw and (thanks to Cinemark) Netflix’s Army of the Dead acting as a curtain-raiser the week prior. Quiet Place part II has been shuffled first to Labor Day weekend 2020, then to April 2021, then to Labor Day 2021 and now to Memorial Day weekend 2021.
