Horror continues to bring the box office back to life.
After being bumped out of the top spot by The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It last week, John Krasinski‘s sequel A Quiet Place Part II once again returned to the top of the box office charts this past weekend, beating debuting films In the Heights and Peter Rabbit 2 in something of a surprise upset. And the film also just crossed a huge milestone.
Here in the United States, A Quiet Place Part II has to date scared up $108.9 million, making it the very first movie released during the pandemic to cross $100 million domestically!
A Quiet Place Part II added $11.6 million to its domestic total this past weekend, with the film’s worldwide gross now just under $200 million. For the sake of comparison, A Quiet Place ended its worldwide run with $340 million back in 2018, with $188 million made domestically. In just three weeks, and during a pandemic, the sequel isn’t all that far away from those numbers.
At the moment, A Quiet Place Part II is *only* playing in theaters, but it’s set to arrive on the Paramount Plus streaming service 45 days after its opening weekend theatrical release.
Behind A Quiet Place Part II on the charts this weekend, In the Heights was in the #2 spot with $11.4 million, while Peter Rabbit 2 only managed $10.4 million in its debut weekend.
The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, meanwhile, added another $10 million to its domestic total, which sits at $43 million. Worldwide, the film has reached $111 million so far.
