EXCLUSIVE: The big eared, noise-sensitive aliens are invading Earth again with John Krasinski announcing A Quiet Place Part III, which is scheduled to hit theaters on July 9, 2027.
The 4x Primetime Emmy nominated multi-hyphenate just unveiled the news on social media that he’s back to direct, write and produce the fourth film in the Paramount series. No cast is confirmed at this time with the story being kept secret.
Krasinski and Allyson Seeger’s Sunday Night Productions are producing with Platinum Dunes. Sunday Night has a first-look deal with the studio.
The A Quiet Place franchise has grossed over $900 million worldwide across its three films, which is comprised John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place Part II, and the Michael Sarnoski directed spin-off A Quiet Place: Day One.
The first A Quiet Place took off like a rocketship at SXSW back in 2018, leading to an overindexing $50.2M opening, near $153M domestic, and near $341M global take. The pic, which starred Krasinski, wife Emily Blunt, Noah Jupe and Millicent Simmonds received an Oscar nomination for Sound Editing.
A Quiet Place Part II, which saw its release pushed due to Covid, brought the box office back alive during Memorial Day weekend 2021 with a $57M 4-day start, and $160M domestic, $297.3M haul. Blunt, Jupe, and Simmonds returned for the sequel which nabbed a BAFTA nomination for Best Sound.
Last summer, A Quiet Place: Day One, a prequel set in an apocalyptic New York City ravaged by the aliens and starring Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn, debuted to $52.2M and legged out to $139M domestic and $262M global.
