A Quiet Place: Day One Scared Up Plenty of Box Office Biz
One of the elements which truly resonated with audiences was the “scary” yet “therapeutic” A Quiet Place: Day One character arc that Sam (Lupita Nyong’o) had to endure even as the alien scourge infested the Earth in the horrifying prequel. And thanks also to its unique combination of stunning visuals, suspense and stellar performances, Day One made $52.2 million domestically (per The Numbers) over its opening weekend.
The movie titled “A Quiet Place: Day One” capitalized on its initial success and ultimately earned a staggering $138.9 million domestically throughout its theater release, along with nearly equivalent profits abroad ($122.2 million). Once the cinematic dust settled, the first installment had accumulated a global total of $261.1 million. If you haven’t had the opportunity to witness director Michael Sarnoski’s interpretation of the franchise yet, here’s a brief summary of the film, as provided in the same press release below:
“Live through the chilling sequel of A Quiet Place universe, where the world falls silent in terror. For Samira (Lupita Nyong’o), a routine journey back to New York City becomes an unimaginable horror as she encounters mysterious beasts that hunt by sound.”
Joined by her feline companion Frodo and an unforeseen associate named Eric (played by Joseph Quinn), Samira finds herself thrust into a precarious expedition across a city now eerily hushed. The only guideline for survival is maintaining silence, a chilling reminder of the danger lurking around every corner.
On Tuesday, August 27th, the movie “A Quiet Place: Day One” begins streaming on Paramount+. Don’t forget to read MovieWeb’s “Day One” review where writer Julian Roman praises Lupita Nyong’o for her outstanding performance in this prequel blockbuster.
