How A Quiet Place: Day One Compares To The Franchise’s Other Movies
A Quiet Place: Day One Has A Long Way To Go To Beat Its Predecessors
A Quiet Place: Day Onehas managed to get to this total despite significant box office competition during its run. Its opening weekend saw the movie lose out in the rankings to thewell-reviewedInside Out 2, which managed to top the charts for a second consecutive weekend.Inside Out 2is somewhat of an unstoppable phenomenon, as it has grossed over $1 billion and become one of the highest-grossing animated films of all time after less than one month in theaters. To make matters more difficult,A Quiet Place: Day Onenow has to compete withDespicable Me 4.
Thus, even if it might be disheartening to lose to a returning hit,A Quiet Place: Day One’s success is still quite impressive. It is also worth noting that theQuiet Placeprequelhad the largest opening weekend of any film in the franchise, even with this competition. This, of course, was coupled with the movie also having the highest budget, but nonetheless, its $2 million win over 2018’sA Quiet Placeis worth noting.

A Quiet Place: Day Onestill has a long way to go if it wants to match the success of either of its predecessors.A Quiet PlaceandA Quiet Place: Part IIbrought in $188 million and $160 million domestic totals, respectively, making it such thatDay Onewould have to maintain huge momentum in order to surpass either. It is also worth pointing out thatDay Oneis the lowest-rated movie in the franchise in terms of Rotten Tomatoes scores, a fact that potentially lowers audience interest. Still, the recent milestone forA Quiet Place: Day Oneis notable as it continues its box office run.
