Fans of “A Quiet Place” will see the sequel in theaters earlier than expected.
Paramount Pictures has increased the release date of ‘A Quiet Place Part II’ by a few months, moving the film from September 17 to May 28. It took the place previously held by Mark Wahlberg’s action thriller ‘Infinite’, which moves to 24 September.
Paramount filled Memorial Day weekend after Universal, earlier Thursday, postponed the “F9” from late May to June 25.
‘A Quiet Place Part II’, directed by John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, has been moved several times amid the coronavirus pandemic. The film was originally scheduled to be released in March, but plans were scrapped at the last minute when COVID-19 first began distributing in the United States. Paramount even held a splashy red carpet premiere on March 8 for ‘A Quiet Place Part II’ in New York, days before the country was forced to close almost completely.
“They always say that good things are coming for those who are waiting,” Krasinski wrote on Twitter on Thursday night. “Well … I think we waited long enough.”

The schedule shift comes a week after Paramount plans to shorten the theater window, with plans to place ‘A Quiet Place Part II’, ‘Mission: Impossible 7’ and other upcoming titles after 45 days on the budding streaming service Paramount Plus. big screen. Before the pandemic, cinema operators required studios to keep their films exclusively in theaters for 90 days. But the year-long closure of movie theaters has improved the traditional ways of doing business, and several Hollywood businesses have used it as an opportunity to put their films online sooner than usual.
Paramount was inspired to speed up the release plans for “A Quiet Place Part II” for several reasons. The move enables the studio and its parent company, ViacomCBS, to start marketing the film earlier as a sparkling offering for its newly renamed streaming platform, which launched on March 4th. With the 45-day window, the sequel to “A Quiet Place” will appear on Paramount Plus in July.
The studio was also optimistic because the Biden government recently announced that the U.S. is on track to have enough COVID-19 vaccine doses for “every adult American” by May. And this weekend, movie theaters in New York were approved to reopen at limited capacity.
In “A Quiet Place Part II”, the surviving members of the Abbott family – Evelyn (Blunt) and her children, Regan (Millicent Simmonds), Marcus (Noah Jupe) and a newborn baby – continue to hide in silence. for creatures that chase sound, this time while facing the horror of the outside world.
“Infinity”, directed by Antoine Fuqua, focuses on Wahlberg as a man whose schizophrenic hallucinations are apparently memories from previous lives.
