A Quiet Place: Day One hits theaters this weekend and to offer one last look, Paramount Pictures has released the official final trailer, which is every bit as chilling as you'd expect and also features a few glowing early reactions .
Outside of the film taking place during the first day of the alien invasion, further plot details are not yet known, but we'll all find out soon enough.
While the most recent chapter, which released in 2021, revealed some of what happened on Day One, mainly showcasing how the Abbott family managed to survive the meteor crash and subsequent alien invasion, the prequel will follow an entirely new batch of characters as they do their best to quietly make it out of New York alive.
A Quiet Place: Day One is currently tracking for a $42 million plus opening weekend domestically, which would be a pretty stellar launch considering the film's relatively modest $67 million production budget. However, whether or not it can top Disney/Pixar holdover Inside Out 2 to claim the top spot remains to be seen. Regardless, the tracking places the film in the same ballpark as the $50.2 million opening for A Quiet Place and $47.5 million debut for A Quiet Place Part II, although the latter was originally tracking for a $72 million launch before it was delayed multiple times due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The new film stars Academy Award-winner Lupita Nyong’o (Black Panther; 12 Years a Slave) as Sam, Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things; The Fantastic Four) as Eric, Alex Wolff (Pig; Old) in an undisclosed role, and Djimon Hounsou (Guardians of the Galaxy; A Quiet Place Part II) as Henri.
Michael Sarnoski (Pig) directs the upcoming prequel, from a screenplay he wrote. John Krasinski also contributed to the overall story, and is attached as a producer after helming the previous two films. Michael Bay, Andrew Form, and Brad Fuller are also onboard as producers.
Both of the first two chapters were massive successses at the box office. A Quiet Place grossed over $341 million globally on a modest $17 million production budget in 2018, with A Quiet Place Part II collecting over $297.4 million on an estimated $55 million production budget in 2021. The latter was affected by the global coronavirus pandemic and faced multiple delays, but despite all the odds, still managed to be highly profitable for the studio.
Paramount recently announced A Quiet Place Part III, which is tentatively scheduled to open in 2025, with Krasinski back at the helm. Emily Blunt, Cillian Murphy, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe are all tentatively expected to reprise their roles.
