Summary
- A Quiet Place: Day One, led by Lupita Nyong'o, earned $52.2 million in its opening weekend, almost matching its budget, and just crossed an even bigger milestone.
- The movie crossed $125 million total at the domestic box office and is close to doubling its $67 million budget.
- Directed by Michael Sarnoski, the spin-off follows humanity at the invasion's beginning, set before the original film.
A Quiet Place: Day One just achieved a major milestone at the box office. Led by Lupita Nyong'o, rather than previous stars John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, the movie follows Nyong'o's terminally ill Sam as she desperately tries to survive the invasion at the beginning of the Quiet Place timeline. The movie has enjoyed immense success at the box office, having earned $52.2 million in its opening weekend alone, which is nearly its entire $67 million budget.
In its fourth week at the box office, Deadline reports that Day One crossed another major milestone after taking the fifth spot in the weekend box office. With an estimated $5.9 million domestic total this weekend, the prequel has earned a total of $127.4 million in the domestic market. It has crossed the vaunted $125 million total and is just $7 million away from doubling its budget among domestic audiences alone.
How Does Day One Compare To Other Quiet Place Movies?
Day One Still Hasn't Beaten The Rest Of The Franchise
Despite having a stronger start than the rest of the franchise, A Quiet Place: Day One's box office take has slowed in the weeks since its opening. It debuted to a massive $53 million, which was $5.5 million more than Part II and approximately $3 million more than the 2018 movie. Since then, however, Day One has proven to lack the longevity of other franchise entries, with its slowing domestic total potentially not matching the previous two movies. It is currently $33 million behind Part II and $61 million behind the original. Check out how the Quiet Place movies compare at the box office below:
Title | Domestic Opening Weekend | Domestic Total | Global Total |
|---|---|---|---|
A Quiet Place (2018) | $50 million | $188 million | $341 million |
A Quiet Place Part II (2021) | $47.5 million | $160 million | $297 million |
A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) | $53 million | $127 million* | $228 million* |
After five weeks at the box office, Day One has already slipped to fifth place, and it has never taken the top spot at any point in its run. It has faced stiff competition from Inside Out 2, Despicable Me 4, Twisters, and fellow horror movie Longlegs. Next week will see the debut of the Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine, which is likely to pull any crowds away from Nyong'o's high-stakes tragedy.

Lupita Nyong'o is great, but A Quiet Place: Day One has the depth of paper and less effective scares and tension than either of the first two movies.

Failing to match previous domestic totals is not necessarily damning for the movie, as it could recover through streaming. A Quiet Place: Day One will stream on Paramount+, where audiences will be able to view the well-reviewed prequel in their own homes. That could help to provide an opportunity for it to expand its reach through word-of-mouth without viewers having to invest too heavily in a ticket or a day at theaters. A Quiet Place: Day One is breaking records, but it is unlikely to catch up with other movies in the franchise without streaming support.
