'A Quiet Place Part II’ Scares 'In the Heights' at the Weekend Box Office
Horror continues to dominate the box office.
A Quiet Place Part II has spent a third weekend at the top of the domestic box office, with John M. Chu’s In the Heights tapering off between Friday and Sunday. The adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical was predicted to hit $15 million over the three-day frame after posting a $5 million opening day, but interest drastically petered out and it wound up with $11.4 million.
John Krasinski’s horror sequel edged out In the Heights with $11.65 million, so it was a close-run race at the end of the day. It’s yet another major victory for A Quiet Place Part II, which smashed pandemic-era records when it first opened, and just days ago became the first release of the pandemic era to cross the $100 million barrier domestically, beating Godzilla vs. Kong, which has been sitting on $99 million for the last two weeks
