How A Quiet Place: Day One Compares To The Rest Of The Franchise
The A Quiet Place Movies Are All Huge Blockbusters
So far, the new prequel is performing admirably, turning outa solid worldwide gross against its budget of $67 million. However, it is also performing well by the standards of the previous entries in the franchise. While it has fallen somewhat behind the overall gross of the original installment, it is climbing at a rapid pace that could see it overtaking 2021’sPart IIbefore long. Below, see a breakdown of the domestic and international performance of theA Quiet Placemovies:
$188 million
$152.9 million
$340.9 million
$160 million
$137.3 million
$297.3 million
~$115.9 million
~$100 million
~$215.9 million
Ultimately, every movie in the franchise has performed slightly better in North America than it has internationally, perhaps because of the specifically American setting. All three movies have so far taken place in New York state, with the prequel moving the action from upstate New York to the island of Manhattan. Thus, theA Quiet Place: Day Onereleaseis showing thesame amount of international potential as either of the previous movies, presuming it can keep climbing at the international box office at the same rate as the domestic sphere.
Ultimately, this means thatA Quiet Place: Day Onewould have to beat the previous installments on the domestic front if it wants to climb up the chart. Having taken 13 days to make $100 million in that market, as opposed to the first movie’s 10 days and the second movie’s 20, it could be able to exactly thread the needle between the two. However, that remains to be seen, as it could face major competition from next weekend’s new release, the disaster movie sequelTwisters.
