The prequel film, "A Quiet Place: Day One," is dominating the box office, bringing in an impressive $98.5 million globally in its opening weekend. Despite being a spinoff in a horror series, it outperformed its predecessors, the original "A Quiet Place" and its sequel, with a $53 million domestic debut. Directed by Michael Sarnoski and starring Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn, the film follows the early stages of a New York City alien invasion. Critics and audiences alike praised the movie, giving it high ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and CinemaScore. In contrast, Kevin Costner’s "Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1" had a disappointing opening with only $11 million in ticket sales. Costner, who funded the film series himself, faces challenges as the negative reception may impact the upcoming sequel. Despite the success of "A Quiet Place: Day One," Disney and Pixar’s "Inside Out 2" continues to dominate the box office, surpassing $1 billion globally.
