Despite not winning the box office battle againstInside Out 2, it is still impressive that a horror movie managed such tight competition against the family-oriented sequel, considering its relatively niche audience. It also managed to beat expectations, having been projected to earn $40 million to $50 million, which would put it in line with otherQuiet Placeofferings. By beating that total, the franchise proved that it is still capable of growth.

As expected,future weeks could see a decline fromDay One,but the question would be how big the drop will be in its second week. The reviews for the prequel are not as strong as the previous movies, so it’s unclear whether its strong start will resonate in the following weeks or whether the divisiveness will come at a cost. WithDespicable Me 4ready to dominate the box office next week,A Quiet Place: Day Onewill need to hold strong against new competition as it hopes to break franchise records in future weeks.
