It wasn’t so silent in sales.
“A Quiet Place: Day One” was No. 1 at the box office on its opening day Friday, raking in $22.5 million, The Numbers reported.
The film, the third installment in the “A Quiet Place” franchise, centers around New York City during an alien invasion and stars Lupita Nyong’o, whom the New York Times says “commands the screen.”
It is projected to enjoy earnings of $53 million this weekend, according to Variety, which would be the highest opener for the franchise.
“Inside Out 2,” which was No. 1 for two weeks in a row, fell to second place, with $17.1 million in sales.
The Disney/Pixar flick, which was released on June 14, has already earned $902.9 million globally, and is expected to surpass the $1 billion-dollar mark this weekend, according to Deadline.
“Horizon: An American Saga,” the Western produced and directed by, and starring Kevin Costner, landed in third, with a $4.1 million-dollar take.
The Post called the film, which was also released on Friday, “an embarrassing, poorly told mess.”
“Bad Boys: Ride or Die,” which was in the No. 2 spot last Friday, dropped down to fourth, with sales of $2.835 million.
In fifth place was “The Bikeriders,” which earned $920,000.
