Horror fans were treated to exciting news as A Quiet Place 3 was announced, and the movie will hit theatres in 2027, the same year as Avengers: Secret Wars. Yes, it is almost a two-year wait, but at least we have a date in sight and an exciting new story to come. John Krasinski will be officially returning to the franchise that pushed him to A-list director status.
Yep, the noise-phobic aliens are making their triumphant return to our screens, with Krasinski not only directing but also writing and producing. A Quiet Place 3 is slated to hit theaters on July 9, 2027. The cast? Well, that’s still a mystery, and the plot? Locked tighter than a vault filled with soundproof padding. But hey, we wouldn’t expect anything less from this ultra-secretive franchise.
For those of you keeping score (or counting decibels), the A Quiet Place series has already made quite the impression. Krasinski’s original 2018 A Quiet Place smashed it at the box office, launching at SXSW and raking in a $50.2 million opening weekend before climbing to a hefty $341 million globally. Not to mention, it snagged an Oscar nomination for Sound Editing, which feels like poetic justice. Considering the success of the first film, imagine what A Quiet Place 3 will bring to the table.
And last summer, the franchise threw us back in time with A Quiet Place: Day One, grossing $262 million globally while showcasing an alien-apocalypse-wrecked New York City, starring Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn, who recently starred in the Fantastic Four: First Steps. If tension-induced heart palpitations were a lucrative source of income, this franchise would be sitting on a gold mine. But it’s the addition of Krasinski as the captain of this latest cinematic ship that’s got fans (and Paramount execs) optimistic about A Quiet Place 3.
His track record as both director and multi-hyphenate creative shows he’s got the chops to maintain the caliber of quality this series has been known for, even in the face of naysayers. Look, not every franchise is pulling down close to a billion dollars globally, so if you’re gonna hate, save it for another noise-sensitive alien movie. Oh, wait, there aren’t any.
Rest assured, A Quiet Place Part 3, along with Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse, have both secured their spot as two of the most anticipated films of 2027. Whether you’re here for the story, the suspense, or to see if Krasinski can outdo himself, it’s safe to say the silence will once again be profitable. Plus, with the franchise’s impeccable track record, we’ve got every reason to believe this one will be another smash hit.
