Analyzing the Box Office Performance of A Quiet Place: Day One and Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1

Paramount’s prequel, A Quiet Place: Day One, is setting new records for the franchise with a preview night earning between $5M-$6M. This figure exceeds the preview nights of the first movie and Quiet Place: Part II. Directed and written by Michael Sarnoski, the prequel explores how the alien invasion that relies on sound began in NYC. The film stars Lupita Nyong’o, Joseph Quinn, Alex Wolff, and Djimon Hounsou. Despite positive reviews at 86% certified fresh, they are slightly lower compared to the previous installments in the franchise. The prequel is expected to have a strong opening weekend, potentially exceeding $40M.

Kevin Costner’s three-hour epic, Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1, is currently projected to earn around $1M-$1.5M. This film, targeted towards an older audience, is anticipated to have a slow burn at the box office rather than a significant opening weekend. With critical reviews at 41% on Rotten Tomatoes, the film’s success will likely be measured over its first ten days. Costner’s track record in western films has been mixed, with Open Range being one of the highest-grossing films in the genre.

Meanwhile, Disney/Pixar’s highly anticipated sequel, Inside Out 2, is expected to dominate the weekend box office with an estimated $55M-$60M opening. The film is projected to cross the $1 billion global mark, continuing Disney/Pixar’s streak of successful animated films. This performance is in stark contrast to the slower start of Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1.

The box office performance of A Quiet Place: Day One and Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 reflects the diverse movie-going preferences of audiences. While the former is set to continue the success of the franchise with strong previews and positive early reviews, the latter is expected to have a more gradual journey at the box office. As the weekend unfolds, it will be interesting to see how these two films resonate with audiences and impact the overall box office landscape.
