'A Quiet Place: Day One' achieved an impressive $53 million in its opening weekend, outperforming previous entries in the franchise despite the absence of original stars John Krasinski and Emily Blunt. Directed by Michael Sarnoski and starring Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn, the film has received critical acclaim with an 84% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Meanwhile, 'Inside Out 2' continues to dominate the box office, potentially earning between $55 million and $59 million in its third weekend, bringing its total domestic earnings near $468 million. In contrast, Kevin Costner’s 'Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1' has underperformed, collecting only $11 million against its $100 million budget. This poor reception, coupled with a 39% Rotten Tomatoes score, casts doubt on the success of its upcoming sequel. Overall, 'A Quiet Place: Day One' stands out for its strong box office performance and critical praise, solidifying its position as a top horror release of 2024.
