“A Quiet Place II” is set to open with a resounding $57 million this Memorial Day weekend. This from 3,726 North American theaters, with some experts even predicting that the film will hit the $60 million mark. “A Quiet Place II” is the largest opening weekend of the pandemic, surpassing March release “Godzilla vs. Kong,” which raked in $48.5 million in its first five days. This bodes well for the the industry’s moviegoing comeback, after over a year of pandemic shutdowns and delays. Over the next few weeks, potential blockbusters such as “F9,” “The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard,” “Jungle Cruise,” “Old,” and “The Suicide Squad” are all set to roll into theatres.
I don’t know about you, but I’m kind of looking forward to the “Michael” sequel. Whether Vantoine directs it or John Logan, it doesn’t matter—it’s an inevitable sh*tshow that will result from its making and release.
