Despite the challenges, Day One marks an impressive feat with the largest opening weekend in the franchise.

A Quiet Place: Day One squeezes past a major box office milestone this week. The prequel to the Quiet Place franchise was released on June 28, giving audiences another glimpse into the world first established by John Krasinski in 2018. Day One had a successful box office opening, debuting at $52.2 million on an estimated $67 million budget. This is the biggest opening weekend the horror franchise has earned yet.

As per Collider, A Quiet Place: Day One has now made it past a major box office milestone. The movie has ed the $100 million mark at the domestic box office. With a domestic take of about $2.4 million on Wednesday, July 10 (its second Wednesday in theaters), A Quiet Place: Day One's total domestic box office comes to just under $103 million. Its worldwide box office gross is over $183 million.

How A Quiet Place: Day One Compares To The Franchise's Other Movies

A Quiet Place: Day One Has A Long Way To Go To Beat Its Predecessors

A Quiet Place: Day One has managed to get to this total despite significant box office competition during its run. Its opening weekend saw the movie lose out in the rankings to the well-reviewed Inside Out 2, which managed to top the charts for a second consecutive weekend. Inside Out 2 is somewhat of an unstoppable phenomenon, as it has grossed over $1 billion and become one of the highest-grossing animated films of all time after less than one month in theaters. To make matters more difficult, A Quiet Place: Day One now has to compete with Despicable Me 4.

Thus, even if it might be disheartening to lose to a returning hit, A Quiet Place: Day One's success is still quite impressive. It is also worth noting that the Quiet Place prequel had the largest opening weekend of any film in the franchise, even with this competition. This, of course, was coupled with the movie also having the highest budget, but nonetheless, its $2 million win over 2018's A Quiet Place is worth noting.

	Budget	Opening Weekend Box Office	Domestic Box Office	Worldwide Box Office	RT Critics Score	RT Audience Score
A Quiet Place (2018)	$17 million	$50.2 million	$188 million	$340.9 million	96%	83%
A Quiet Place: Part II (2021)	$61 million	$47.5 million	$160 million	$297.3 million	91%	92%
A Quiet Place: Day One (2024)	$67 million	$52.2 million	$102 million*	$185 million	87%	73%

*These totals are estimates that are updated as of 7/11/24 and will change as the film is still in theaters

A Quiet Place: Day One still has a long way to go if it wants to match the success of either of its predecessors. A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place: Part II brought in $188 million and $160 million domestic totals, respectively, making it such that Day One would have to maintain huge momentum in order to sur either. It is also worth pointing out that Day One is the lowest-rated movie in the franchise in of Rotten Tomatoes scores, a fact that potentially lowers audience interest. Still, the recent milestone for A Quiet Place: Day One is notable as it continues its box office run.
