A Quiet Place: Day One Roars in Box Office with Strong $7M Debut, Horizon and Inside Out 2 Catching up

Date:

Key Takeaways:
– A Quiet Place: Day One racked up $6.8M in Thursday previews alone.
– Kevin Costner’s Horizon: An American Saga fetched $800K in previews.
– Inside Out 2 has grossed over $863.1M worldwide.
– The third installment of A Quiet Place franchise is helmed by Michael Sarnoski.

The box office rung with the roaring success of A Quiet Place: Day One as it raked in $6.8 million in Thursday previews, even outshining some significant summer flicks like Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. As the weekend unfolds, fans speculate if the horror-thriller could muster up a $50 million haul for its three-day launch.

Director’s Chair Switch Up – In with Michael Sarnoski

The first two films in A Quiet Place franchise were directed by John Krasinski who’s opted out of the upcoming one, passing the directorial baton to Michael Sarnoski. Sarnoski, known for his debut work Pig, has earned a solid directorial reputation & a spot on Krasinski’s shortlist for directors for this project.

While the storyline of A Quiet Place: Day One unfolds in the universe familiar to its fans, it departs from the narrative of the Abbott family we have traced through the first two films. Sarnoski is said to bring a fresh vision to the established world, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.

Horizon: An American Saga’s Slow Start

On another front, Kevin Costner’s Horizon: An American Saga, fetched $800K in previews, falling a touch short of expectations. However, the appeal of this film isn’t for Thursday thrilled movie-goers but rather it’s commonly perceived as a chill Friday date night or restful weekend afternoon flick. Given this, we could expect Horizon to gain traction as the week unfolds.

Inside Out 2 Still Pulls in the Crowds

Meanwhile, Pixar’s Inside Out 2 continues to draw crowds, reaching a whopping $863.1 million worldwide. Surpassing the original film’s lifetime gross of $859 million, it only took 16 days for Inside Out 2 to claim its victory. Ranked as the ninth most successful domestic animated film ever, it’s collected $411.8 million domestically and shoved 2013’s Frozen off its perch.

Insider’s Word on A Quiet Place: Day One

A Quiet Place: Day One had its first review out by none other than JoBlo’s Editor-in-Chief, Chris Bumbray. His in-depth dissection of the film is sure to whet the appetite of any film enthusiast.

There you have it! The box office is all abuzz with excitement as A Quiet Place: Day One takes the lead, Inside Out 2 keeps drawing in the crowds, and Horizon: An American Saga plods along. Stay tuned for more box office updates as we keep an ear to the ground for the latest news! Remember, don’t judge a film by its Thursday previews, expect surprises as the week unfolds.
