Thankfully, as already mentioned, we have very good news to report: $57 million and counting. All of this shows why a $30 million holiday weekend opening would not have been too much cause for celebration. ( GvK was available on HBO Max upon its release). That was when the vaccination rate across North America was around 28%-29% by Memorial Day weekend, we are at double that (with folks who have received at least the first dose), theaters are opening wider, and A Quiet Place Part II is not available on any streaming service and is exclusive to theaters. GvK still managed to be the first truly breakout film of the pandemic era, grossing $48.1 million from Wednesday to Easter Sunday, or March 31 to April 4. Kong was the follow-up to Godzilla: King of the Monsters, which was anything but a word-of-success after opening to $47.77 million in May 2019 and only cleared 2.31 times that start. It was a sequel to a film that made over $188 million after opening to $50.2 million in April 2018: that’s 3.74 times its opening, which is the best multiple for a film opening in April to more than $26 million. John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place Part II was the first film to delay itself when the COVID-19 scare began last March. King of the Crop: A Quiet Place Part II‘s Epic Weekend Suggests The Corner May Be Turned Though let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet… However, after the box office made over $79 million this weekend (the best since the $90.4 million from March 6-8, 2020), with the horror sequel accounting for an estimated $48 million of that (plus another $8-plus million on Monday), we got our dream “Movies Are Back!” headlines. Leading into Memorial Day, many were saying that $30 million for A Quiet Place Part II this weekend would have been a nice pandemic number for sure but even that would not be nearly what the industry really needed after the health-induced drought theaters had seen since March 2020.

#A QUIET PLACE ROTTEN TOMATOES MOVIE#
The movie might be quite silent, but I certainly wasn't while watching it. Rarely have I found myself be so annoyed with the characters in a movie. The boy is just a useless wimp who can't even commit to the simplest tasks. And he screams - a lot! You might argue that most people would, if they had a bear-trap clamp up around their foot. But I would counter-argue that if the life of your entire family was on the line when it happened, you would at least try to keep the screaming to a minimum. And a baby in a box with an oxygen mask? What the hell!? I realize that the baby was probably a carry-over "character" from the previous movie (which I haven't seen).īut noooo - this guys screams from the top of his lungs for as long as he can until someone finally shuts him up.
But believing they survived for several hundred days out and about with a baby? No. Unless they kept the baby in the box 99% of the time, which is just not something I want to think about. I wish the movie did something to explain the monsters or their constant need to kill things that make noise for seemingly no reason other than just to terminate other lifeforms. And why can they jump around like crazy like acrobats, but still not see moving targets? Nothing makes sense. It seems to me like they are able to see very well the world around them. But they can't detect moving lifeforms unless they make noise? I don't buy it. It's a paper-thin premise and I am too logically thinking to do a complete suspension of disbelief. The only cool thing about this movie is the girl and "new dad". And somewhat intelligent editing that lines up several shots to synchronize the stuff that moves the plot forward.
