alone.Īnd why does this matter? Well, last year marked the the first time ever that multiple horror films passed the nine-digit mark domestically - and there were four of them. Taking all those variables into account, add in the fact that Quiet Place has a somewhat family friendly PG-13 rating, and the movie stands to coast toward something like $150 million in the U.S. (Another movie listed as similar to Place on Box Office Mojo is 2016’s Lights Out, which also tripled its opening weekend take with its total domestic gross.) What A Quiet Place has in its favor that those other very good movies don’t, however, is a nearly 100 percent aggregate critical rating and the star appeal of John Krasinksi and Emily Blunt, who’ve taken their husband-wife act on the road for a charming press tour. Or 10 Cloverfield Lane, another movie cut from similar cloth, which opened to $24 million, and almost tripled its debut figure by taking in $72 million total. That movie opened with $26 million, and went on to make a little more than triple that amount with $89 million. To put that number in context, consider the theatrical performance of similar movies such as the claustrophobic thriller Don’t Breathe from 2016, which also played the absence of sound for nerve-jangling effect. So what does this mean? For starters, it means Quiet Place will almost assuredly become the year’s first $100 million earner in the genre, working off a production budget of just $17 million. By bringing in $50 million domestically, A Quiet Place shot past box-office estimates by an insane $20 million, and notched the biggest opening weekend ever for an original horror story, which was also good enough to make it the third-highest horror opening of all time behind last year’s It and Paranormal Activity 3 from 2011. And while we’re used to hearing superlatives like “best opening ever!” and “highest second weekend of all time for a movie featuring six cats!” the John Krasinski–Emily Blunt monster movie A Quiet Place has secured an opening that’s just as exciting for studios as it is for genre fans. It’s one of those things you can count on like death, taxes, and Marvel movies.
