“A Quiet Part II” is the latest Hollywood film to launch its global box office launch, as the coronavirus pandemic erupts in the United States. This is the third time the film has been postponed due to the outbreak.
Paramount’s post-apocalyptic thriller is set to debut on September 17th. The latest film was expected to hit theaters on April 23.
The film is the long-awaited sequel to John Krasinski’s directorial debut “A Quiet Place,” which introduces moviegoers to a world where deadly but blind creatures hunt only on the basis of sound. The film starred actress Emily Blunt, starring the deaf actress Millicent Simmonds and a young English actor named Noah Jupe. All three return for the sequel.
The first “A Quiet Place”, which had a budget of only $ 17 million, earned more than $ 340 million at the global box office, while moviegoers gathered in theaters to experience the thrilling film. on the big screen and in large groups.
This is one likely reason why Paramount, which has been actively selling a number of theatrical titles to streaming services over the past year, has decided to postpone the launch of the sequel.
In the past, the studio sold Aaron Sorkin’s “The Trial of the Chicago 7” to Netflix and “Coming 2 America” and “Without Remorse” to Amazon.
The commercial success of “A Quiet Place” and Krasinski’s desire to play the film on the big screen could keep the film away from the streaming market for now.
This is what the 2021 calendar looks like now that “A Quiet Place II” has been postponed.
