Internationally, the movie grossed $22 million, putting its box office total at close to $80 million overall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll are the biggest domestic numbers in the pandemic-era and \u2014 more significantly \u2014 are almost on par with the first <em>Quiet Place<\/em>, which posted a three-day debut of $50.2 million in 2018,\u201d reported <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-news\/quiet-place-part-ii-cruella-box-office-opening-1234961031\/\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> (THR). \u201cThe sequel\u2019s loud performance is a victory for Paramount and the theatrical experience and proves that the box office is righting itself after 15 months of being ravaged by the COVID-19 crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In order to promote the big-screen experience prior to the film\u2019s transfer to the streaming service Paramount+ in 45 days, director\/actor John Krasinski took a six-city tour over the past week to make surprise appearances at screenings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018A Quiet Place II\u2019 has the advantage of getting an exclusive theatrical release before hitting sister streaming service Paramount+ in 45 days. As part of the marketing campaign, Krasinski completed a six-city tour surprising audiences in order to promote the big screen experience. Paramount distribution president Chris Aronson declared the box-office victory a \u201chuge win\u201d for theatrical moviegoing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a huge win for theatrical,\u201d said Aronson. \u201cThe theatrical business has been changed numerous times throughout history but never to the point where theaters were shut down for months and months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s quite astounding that <em>A Quiet Place Part II<\/em> could generate the kind of box office that would be considered impressive in the pre-pandemic era and rank this performance in the top echelon of horror movie debuts,\u201d said Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian.<\/p>\n<p>Releasing \u201cA Quiet Place Part II\u201d exclusively in theaters prior to its streaming transfer was an undoubtedly risky affair, something that Disney did not even attempt with its release of \u201cCruella,\u201d which took home $26.5 million in the box office while simultaneously being offered for $30 on Disney+ Premier Access. Overall, Hollywood earned $100 million domestically on Memorial Day weekend. Analyst Shawn Robbins hailed the victory as a \u201cgiant leap forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a giant leap forward from where the industry has been throughout the past year, and a table-setting weekend for what sustained recovery will look like throughout summer and beyond. The optics and symbolism of large audiences safely returning to cinemas outweigh the box office dollars themselves, but these numbers are still quite impressive even by pre-pandemic standards,\u201d Robbins said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA Quiet Place Part II\u201d earned rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. Currently, the film holds a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/a_quiet_place_part_ii\">91% on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> and an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt8332922\/\">8.0 rating<\/a> on IMDB. The overall consensus hailed the movie for managing to grip the viewers while side-stepping some of its more glaring flaws.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are nitpicks \u2013 some small, some a little bigger \u2013 but mostly, \u2018A Quiet Place Part II\u2019 does its job by giving viewers more and leaving them wanting even more.
