We'll share our overall thoughts on A Quiet Place: Day 1, including our Letterbox rating, favorite moments, and comparisons to the previous A Quiet Place movies.
Despite being a prequel with new characters, A Quiet Place: Day One outperformed its predecessors on opening weekend. Let’s explore why.
Opening Weekend Box Office:
A Quiet Place: $50M
A Quiet Place Part II: $47M
A Quiet Place: Day One: $52M [Inside Out 2: $57M (Highest grossing movie that weekend)\
Why has this franchise grown in popularity? What excited you about this prequel story for opening weekend? Would A Quiet Place Part III have performed as well?
Blockbusters require several factors to succeed, and the A Quiet Place series has consistently hit the mark, much like Godzilla Minus One.
The first 10 minutes of Day One lack any alien invasion. Did this approach work for you? Is Day One an alien invasion movie or a character-driven story set during an invasion? Why have franchises like Star Wars and Marvel struggled to consistently deliver strong stories and characters?
