Paramount‘s latest sequel in its A Quiet Place franchise has locked in its two stars as Emily Blunt and Cillian Murphy have officially closed deals to return. Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe are also set to come back, with Jack O’Connell, Jason Clarke and Katy O’Brian also on board.
John Krasinski is returning to write, produce and direct the latest installment, titled A Quiet Place Part III, with Paramount setting a July 30, 2027 release date.
Krasinski made announcement Monday on his social media platforms.
Krasinski and Allyson Seeger’s Sunday Night Productions are producing the new film with Platinum Dunes. Sunday Night has a first-look deal with the studio.
The A Quiet Place franchise has grossed more than $900 million worldwide across its three films: Krasinski’s A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place Part II, and the Michael Sarnoski-directed spinoff A Quiet Place: Day One.
The first A Quiet Place took off like a rocket ship at SXSW 2018, leading to an over-indexing $50.2 million opening weekend on its way to a near $153M domestic and $341M global take. The pic received an Oscar nomination for Sound Editing.
A Quiet Place Part II, which saw its release pushed due to Covid, brought the box office back to life during Memorial Day weekend 2021 with a $57M four-day start, ending with a $160M domestic and $297.3M global haul. Blunt, Jupe and Simmonds returned for that sequel, which nabbed a BAFTA nomination for Best Sound.
Last summer, A Quiet Place: Day One, a prequel set in an apocalyptic New York City ravaged by the aliens and starring Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn, debuted to $52.2M and legged out to $139M domestic and $262M global.
