‘A Quiet Place’ Reclaims First Place at Box Office, ‘Rampage’ Hangs Onto Second

John Krasinski’s horror film A Quiet Place has reclaimed the top spot at the box office.

A Quiet Place is looking at a $21.8 million weekend from 3,808 locations, which is up by 219 locations over last weekend.

A Quiet Place has earned near-universal critical acclaim, including from ComicBook.com’s own Kofi Outlaw:

“A Quiet Place lives up to the hype as a ‘must-see’ horror film experience. This is a film where sound itself is a jump scare, so it’s definitely recommended you catch this one in a theater with the biggest and best sound system available. You won’t regret the investment.”

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s Rampage, which came from behind to edge out A Quiet Place and win its opening weekend last week, came from behind again to take second place over Amy Schumer’s new comedy I Feel Pretty. Rampage earned $20.3 million this weekend, bringing its total in North America to $66 million.

Part of Rampage’s ability to retake the second place spot is down to I Feel Pretty disappointing with a $15.8 million opening.

Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare manages to take fifth place over Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One. The horror film earned $7.9 million, bringing its box office total to $30.4 million. Despite being Blumhouse’s most critically-panned movie to date, the film’s small budget means it will still turn a tidy profit for in the end.

Ready Player One is in its fourth weekend. The film was the fifth-highest opener of Spielberg’s career and has earned over $480 million worldwide.

This weekend is just the calm before a major storm. Next weekend will see the release of Avengers: Infinity War into theaters. The film is projected to have a record-shattering opening weekend at the box office, so expect some major shakeups then.
