As for A Quiet Place Part II--

“A Quiet Place Part II” is drumming up solid pre-sales, according to online ticketing service Fandango. If momentum sustains, that could bode well for the film’s box office debut over Memorial Day weekend.

The follow-up to Paramount’s 2018 sleeper hit “A Quiet Place” is currently selling twice as many advance tickets on Fandango compared to the same point in its 2020 sales cycle. The film was originally scheduled for March 20, 2020, but it was pulled from release shortly before its planned big-screen launch as COVID-19 began to threaten normal life in the U.S.

Fandango didn’t provide specifics, but says advanced sales for “A Quiet Place Part II” have been tracking ahead of the original film, which debuted to $50 million in 2018. Although it’s not a perfect comparison because “A Quiet Place” wasn’t a known property prior to its release.

Still, analysts believe “A Quiet Place 2” has the potential to generate between $40 million and $50 million in its first three days in theaters. Granted that revenues reach that range, it would surpass the Warner Bros. tentpole “Godzilla vs. Kong” ($32 million) as the biggest opening since the pandemic hit.

“A Quiet Place Part II” won’t be the lone newcomer on movie theater marquees. On the same weekend, Disney’s “Cruella,” an origin story of the “101 Dalmatians” villain starring Emma Stone, is premiering in theaters and on Disney Plus for a premium fee. Despite its hybrid release, box office experts predict “Cruella” could pull in $30 million to $40 million in its first weekend. Fandango did not provide pre-sale information for “Cruella.”

In theory, A QUIET PLACE II is the movie I would probably go to a theatre to see. I never saw the first one in a theatre and I've always regretted that. But I have no say in the matter, since movie theatres are closed across Canada. I don't know any place in my home and native land where theatres are open--maybe drive-ins?--but provincial leaders have screwed up so badly, I don't think any of them would want to wear the blame for opening up too early--if an election were held tomorrow, at least half of all the leaders would be voted out of office.

As a rule of thumb the Canadian box office accounts for 10% of the domestic total. So none of the recent releases are getting that extra bit. Take that into consideration.

I remember I was the movie everyone in the theather already knew they needed to be quiet about, without needing to be shut up by shocking scenes. Cool times.

Fast 9 drives to $162m at the ww box office!

For america with no new releases (even after both deadline and hr both warned hollywood to release new releases as fast as they can!) the saw film still stays in first with $4.5 m.

GVK should hit $100m next week.

Demon slayer leaves the top 5 for the first time. Expected to make $50m in america before it's done.

France box office has took off.

https://variety.com/2021/film/global...ys-1234980884/

After being shut down for over six months, French cinemas bounced back in a spectacular way, drawing 2.1 million admissions in six days after reopening on May 19. The results are particularly strong considering the current restrictions on cultural venues in France, notably an audience capacity of 35% and a 9pm curfew.

While there are no U.S. blockbusters currently playing in theaters, French audiences flocked to critically-acclaimed films, leading with Albert Dupontel’s “Bye Bye Morons,” which swept seven Cesar nods.

Distributed by Gaumont, “Bye Bye Morons” is one of the several movies re-released last week, along with Maiwenn’s Cannes 2020 movie “DNA,” Thomas Vinterberg’s Oscar-winning “Another Round,” Charlene Favier’s “Slalom” and Nicolas Maury’s “Garçon Chiffon.”

And demon slayer smashs the box office again this time in france.

Demon Slayer: Mugen Train,” the Japanese anime movie which took many markets by storm, ranked second at the French B.O., behind Dupontel’s offbeat comedy. Other to-performing films include the animation/live action blend “Tom and Jerry” and Quentin Dupieux’s Venice title “Mandibles.”

Speaking of demon slayer it's near $500m and broke more records in japan.

?!? Have these reviewers seen any of the other 8 F&Fs?

Most of the reviews since Fast Five are sort of good, It's not that different in reviews from many superhero films. Summer big blockbusters action fun good time in cinema or standard pop corn entertainment .


Justin Lin is a good director, so I am guessing he must have done the job with this one.

Quiet place 2 is getting incredible reviews! Will it hit first place?

[Gaastra]

Quiet place 2 expected to top gvk!

https://screenrant.com/quiet-place-2...d-predictions/

[Gaastra]

A quiet place 2 to the rescue! made more then it was expected to make pre-virus!

$57m so far!

Paramount’s A Quiet Place Part II is crushing it, having grossed $19.3M yesterday, including $4.8M Thursday night previews, for what it looking like a $47.5M 3-day, $57.4M 4-day opening at 3,726 theaters for a $15,4K theater average. That’s a number which isn’t too far from the $60M which the John Krasinski-directed sequel was expected to do in its 3-day opening pre-pandemic! A Quiet Place Part II‘s money is being earned on a pure, unadulterated 45-day theatrical window. The sequel will hit Paramount+ after that time frame.

For cruella--

Meanwhile, Disney’s Cruella, did $7.7M on Friday, including Thursday previews, for what will be a $22.3M 3-day opening, $27.3M estimated 4-day at 3,892 theaters, for a $7K per theater.

Note---

what this shows with Cruella is that if it wasn’t on Disney+ Premier at $29.99, it could have made more money.

Well duh.

Also demon slayer on the edge of $50m in america.
