Recently released Paramount Pictures’ A Quiet Place: Day One is getting an excellent response from the audience and critics, especially since the film has been highly praised by the critics. Not only the critics but also the audience have expressed a lot of interest in the film, and as a result, the film is doing very well at the box office. But despite the good numbers, it is a big question whether these numbers even give it the status of a successful film compared to conventional production and other films. So, we’re here to talk about the verdict of the film, whether it’s hit or miss for the makers and distributors. 

Is Quiet Place Day One Hit or Flop?

Directed and co-written by Michael Sarnoski, A Quiet Place: Day One was released in the United States on June 28, 2024, in over 3700 theaters nationwide alongside Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1. According to Box Office Mojo, it grossed $22.52 million on its opening day and $52.20 million on its opening weekend at the domestic box office, which is undeniably a strong debut for a survival thriller despite clashing with juggernauts like Inside Out 2. Inside the debut numbers, A Quiet Place: Day One’s total numbers currently stand at $64.11 million domestically and $45.50 million overseas, for a global total of $109.61 million^[1]. 

The numbers are excellent, but still, there is a need to analyze the cost before declaring it a box office success. So, according to Variety, the production budget for A Quiet Place: Day One is around $67 million before marketing expenses, and after accounting for marketing, $200 million is the number to aim for success. After a stellar debut, the break-even mark is too easy to achieve, which is enough for critics to declare A Quiet Place: Day One a box office hit for the makers and distributors. Not just it, but going by the numbers, A Quiet Place: Day One will end its box office journey with $300 million globally, which also makes sure of good profit for the makers. 

Compared to its predecessors, A Quiet Place: Day One’s debut has the best numbers in the series, surpassing A Quiet Place’s $50 million. The debut numbers are also special because they come with Inside Out 2. Everything is perfect, but still, there are some concerns for the makers in the long run of A Quiet Place: Day One. Not just Inside Out 2, but there are also other big competitors on the way of release, including Despicable Me 4, Twisters, and Deadpool 3, and surviving between these big juggernauts is not going to be easy for the survival thriller to achieve a good long run.

Talking about critical response, A Quiet Place: Day One received a 6.8/10 IMDb rating based on 20k votes, and On Rotten Tomatoes scored 87/100% based on 219 reviews. Read Also: Is The Bikeriders Hit or Flop? How Is The R-rated Crime Drama Doing at Box Office?

There is no doubt that Deadpool 3, hitting theaters on July 26, 2024, is the biggest release of this year, and Disney has a lot riding on this film^[1]. Disney’s plans depend heavily on the success of this film, and this is the production’s biggest bet to save Phase Five of the MCU. Even though it’s a make-it-or-break-it move, for now, this threequel bodes well for production, as the response surrounding the film has been great. From offline to online, the craze in the audience for this film is unimaginable and indicates a sure-shot blockbuster debut and overall run for the distributors and exhibitors. 

Deadpool 3 Box Office Prediction

The craze for Deadpool & Wolverine is unimaginable and over the top, as the response at the pre-window ticket sales is record-breaking despite being an R-rated film, indicating a strong debut on the cards. Considering the over-the-top buzz and pre-release sales, production and box office experts predict that Deadpool 3 will earn a minimum of $185–190 million on its opening weekend at the domestic box office, which is an outstanding debut and record-breaking as an R-rated threequel from MCU. It’s minimum numbers, while some reports claimed a $200+ million debut for this, which makes it the first R-rated film to cross $200 million on its debut. 

The debut is great, but lifetime numbers are also crucial considering Disney’s investment in this film, reported to be $250 million before marketing and other expenses. But Disney probably does not care about these numbers, considering the buzz surrounding the film— In the long run as well. Reviews will be a crucial factor, but not that much. Apart from domestic, the overseas markets also looking too promising, and the threequel is headed towards record-breaking numbers worldwide. Talking about lifetime box office projections, Deadpool 3 will end its box office run with $450 million domestically and over $1 billion globally. Read Also: Box Office: Is Inside Out 2 Hit or Flop?

Considering the excellent box office projection numbers, Deadpool’s third installment, directed by Shawn Levy, is going to be a huge blockbuster and immense money-making venture for Marvel and Walt Disney Studios. Not just a blockbuster, but the numbers are also outstanding for an R-rated film, and it’s also expected that it will become the highest-grossing R-rated film, surpassing The Joker’s $1.078 billion. It would not be wrong to say that after facing so much failure, Walt Disney is now returning to its old place where it belongs, the sky-high level. Deadpool 3 is also considered a game-changer in the MCU. 

Currently, box office receipts are showing good signs, and there could not be a better time to release a big film, especially one targeted at a family audience. We are here talking about the latest animated release of Universal and Illumination, Despicable Me 4, which will open at the ticket window on July 3, 2024, and this is the best time to release this film^[1]. The over-expected response to the recently released Inside Out 2 has sent expectations sky-high for Universal’s Despicable Me 4, and as a popular family franchise film, the vibes surrounding the film clearly point towards a great debut.

Despicable Me 4 Box Office Prediction

The heart of Despicable Me is the family audience, and the success of the previous films depended on it. This time too, there is a lot of affection for the fourth installment among the family audience, and this attraction will be shown openly at the ticket window. Considering the promising buzz and pre-sales, production and critics expect a $70-80 million opening weekend for Despicable Me 4 across the United States and Canada, undeniably a solid debut for a medium-budget animated film. Notably, these are just rough numbers, while there is every possibility that these numbers will be much higher on the final table.

It will be a good debut, but this medium-budget film will also do well in the long run. It doesn’t matter that there is a lot of competition around the film, including Inside Out 2, A Quiet Place Day One, Twisters, and more. I believe Despicable Me 4 will surpass all its competitors, so rivals should be worried about this, not Universal.

Talking about long-run projection, then everything is indicating good. Not just domestic but also overseas markets are looking quite promising. Reviews will have no impact on this film. Regarding numbers, Despicable Me 4 will end its box office journey with $300 million domestically and $800 million globally. Read Also: Is The Bikeriders Hit or Flop? How Is The R-rated Crime Drama Doing at Box Office?

As a medium-budget film, the projected numbers for Despicable Me 4 are quite outstanding and indicate a sure-shot blockbuster and huge money-making film for Universal Pictures. Despicable Me and Minions is a goldmine for Universal, and once again, the numbers prove it. Although Despicable Me 3 has crossed the $1 billion mark at the box office, it will not be easy for this fourth film to touch these numbers. But many times in the past, films have been seen performing more than the projected numbers, so it is expected that Despicable Me 4 will also do something like this.

The first chapter in the latest epic Western film series, Horizon: An American Saga, has arrived at the ticket window, and there is a mixed or below-average response to the film from critics and the audience. The epic Western drama received a red signal from critics, especially for its super-long duration, lack of character development, and boring and slow-paced screenplay. There is nothing special for the audience in the first chapter, especially as a theatrical audience. But still, despite receiving mixed reviews, Chapter 1 can be considered a streaming watch, and we are here to talking about streaming of the film.

Is Horizon An American Saga Movie on Amazon Prime?

Undoubtedly Yes, Kevin Costner’s Horizon: An American Saga’s Chapter 1 will be on Amazon Prime, but after its theatrical window and not for all, especially not for the subscription users of Prime. Chapter 1 will be available on Amazon Prime as a video-on-demand version for $5.99 to $9.99. If you think you can stream it within a subscription, then there is nothing for you, as it will never be streaming on Amazon Prime within a subscription, and in short, subscription users will not be able to watch it online anytime. 

First of all, Amazon Studios is not interested in the official streaming of the film, and on top of that, Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1 is an official production of Warner Bros. Pictures. To be sure, streaming on Amazon Prime is almost impossible as there is no streaming deal between Amazon and Warner Bros. Pictures, and Max (HBO Max) is already set as the official streaming platform for the film. So, if you are looking for official streaming, Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1 will officially stream on HBO Max following its theatrical window^[1]. 

Regarding the VOD users, Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1 will be accessible on Amazon Prime within 30 days of its theatrical window, not just on Amazon Prime but also on Vudu, YouTube, Apple TV+, and Google Play Movies. Also Read: Is A Quiet Place Day One on Amazon Prime?

‘Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1’

Generally, Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1 is a one-man show, and the one man is Kevin Costner, the director, writer, producer, and lead actor of the film. The other writers are Jon Baird and Mark Kasdan, and the stars are Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena Malone, Abbey Lee, Michael Rooker, and Danny Huston, along with Kevin Costner. Kevin Costner, Howard Kaplan, and Mark Gillard are producers, and it was produced under the production banners of Territory Pictures and New Line Cinema and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. 

There is a lot of buzz around A Quiet Place: Day One, whether the audience or the critics are expecting a great survival thriller film from Paramount Pictures. Whether the film is good or bad will become clear in the future, but according to critics, A Quiet Place: Day One will be a great survival thriller and will attract the audience at the ticket window and on streaming platforms. Regarding the theatrical audience, the third installment will be released theatrically on June 28 in the United States, but there is solid information for the streaming audience of the film after theatrical^[1]. But still, we have some information for these moviegoers, especially for Amazon Prime users. 

Is A Quiet Place Day One on Amazon Prime?

Yes, Paramount’s A Quiet Place: Day One will be available on Amazon Prime, but exclusively for the Video on Demand version for $19.99 to $24.99, not as official streaming. If you are looking for the third installment within your Prime subscription, sorry to say there is nothing for you regarding the film streaming due to a lack of streaming rights.

In other words, A Quiet Place: Day One is an official production of Paramount Pictures, and there is no streaming deal between Amazon Prime and Paramount Pictures. That means Amazon does not have rights to stream the third installment on Amazon Prime within a subscription, and Amazon Prime’s subscription users will not be able to watch it on the platform. Generally speaking,  it’s quite normal now that all impressive content will be available on Amazon Prime with a rental or buy version instead of a subscription, which is quite disappointing for those users.

Leave it, regarding the video on demand for users of Amazon Prime, A Quiet Place: Day One will be available on Amazon Prime within two months of its theatrical window, and not just on it but also on Vudu, iTunes, Google Play Movies, and YouTube. If you are asking for official streaming, then let us tell you that A Quiet Place: Day One will be officially streaming on Paramount+ as an official film from Paramount Pictures. Read To More: A Quiet Place Day One Box Office Prediction: Set for a Solid $40 Million Debut

‘A Quiet Place: Day One’

Starring Lupita Nyong’o, Joseph Quinn, Djimon Hounsou, and Alex Wolff, A Quiet Place: Day One is directed by Michael Sarnoski from the screenplay written by John Krasinski. Under the production banners of Platinum Dunes and Sunday Night Productions, the survival thriller was produced by Michael Bay, Andrew Form, John Krasinski, and Brad Fullerby and distributed by Paramount Pictures. It is a spin-off prequel to A Quiet Place and the third film in the overall franchise. 

The latest release from Focus Features, Jeff Nichols’s The Bikeriders, has received mostly positive reviews from critics and the audience, especially for the impressive direction and screenplay of Jeff Nichols and the strong performances from all the talented cast members. Overall, a binge-worthy film based on motorcycle culture. Not just good reviews, but the R-rated crime drama has also stood at the expense of critics at the box office, but still, there are disappointments for the production and distributors, as the numbers are not enough for the film’s success. 

Is The Bikeriders Hit or Flop?

Directed and written by Jeff Nichols, The Bikeriders was released on June 21, 2024, across 2600+ theaters in the United States and Canada, alongside The Exorcism and Thelma. As per Box Office Mojo, it grossed $4.10 million on its first day and $9.69 million on its opening weekend at the domestic box office, which is an expected but disappointing debut despite being a small-scale R-rated film. Overall, the current numbers stand at $17.14 million nationally and $7.33 million overseas, for a global total of $24.47 million^[1]. 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Austin Butler’s The Bikeriders comes with a production budget of $40 million, and just compared to the production cost, the box office numbers for the film are not good, indicating a box office failure for Focus Features and Universal Pictures. Despite receiving positive feedback from critics, the box office performance of the R-rated adaptation is really disappointing; it does not matter if it’s performed as expected. All things are crystal clear here, but still, for the strong analysts, The Bikeriders needs at least $60–70 million to become a successful film at the box office after accounting for marketing and other expenses, which is almost impossible. 

It’s clear that The Bikeriders is a box office disappointment, but according to insiders, there is no loss for Focus Features if the film succeeds in reaching the $30–40 million mark domestically. But still, spending $40 million on The Bikeriders is a wrong decision, especially when the film comes with an adult rating. Not just that, the scheduled release date also leaves a negative impact because the box office around the film is dominated by big films, especially Inside Out 2 and Bad Boys 4, and it is almost impossible to survive in such a situation for a small-budget film.

In terms of critical response, The Bikeriders has received a 7.2/10 IMDb rating based on 12k votes, and on Rotten Tomatoes, it scored 81/100% based on 226 critics’ reviews. That box office numbers are indeed more important for the makers; it does not matter whether the reviews are in favor or not. Read To More: Is The Bikeriders on Amazon Prime or HBO Max?

Kevin Costner’s epic drama, Horizon: An American Saga’s Chapter 1, is all set for its box office journey on Friday, and being honest, this is just a formality theatrical release for Warner Bros. Pictures with no sky-high expectations at the box office^[1]. Kevin Costner is a popular figure in the industry, and that’s the big reason there is some hype around the film, which indicates that this film may perform decently at the box office, but it will be too important for this film to survive in such a competitive environment for box office success. 

Horizon An American Saga Movie Box Office Prediction

Due to Kevin Costner and the established cast of the film, there is some buzz surrounding the film, but the pre-sale at the ticket window still looks quite dull. Considering the average buzz, industry experts and production are expecting Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1 to make $15–20 million on its opening weekend across the United States and Canada, which is a decent debut for an R-rated film with a medium budget. These are just rough numbers, whereas if we look at the competitive environment surrounding the film, it will debut with an even lower performance.

Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1 comes with a price tag of $50 million, and with this budget, the long run is going to be crucial for box office success as the debut numbers are not too excellent. In the long run, the numbers are not looking good, and there are some disappointing things for the production. First of all, the film has received a red flag from critics, and on top of that, it comes with an adult rating, which makes it a good number in the long run. The remaining damage is being completed by the big films clashing with it. Considering all factors, Chapter 1 will end its box office run with $40 million domestically and $100 million globally. 

Against the production budget of $50 million, the predicted numbers for Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1 are not up to the mark, and making money for Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema is almost impossible. The biggest relief here is that maybe this First Chapter will reach the recovery mark, which will be good for production. Warner Bros. Pictures is probably already aware of the projected numbers, that’s why the production is not showing much interest in marketing, whether it’s in the domestic market or overseas. I hope the film does well and this series becomes a successful franchise. Read Also: A Quiet Place Day One Box Office Prediction: Set for a Solid $40 Million Debut

One of the most anticipated films of the year, Beetlejuice’s sequel, is on the way to its theatrical release, and it will be released in theaters on September 6 in the United States. As an anticipated sequel, the production and audience have high expectations and are awaiting its release. The theatrical release date is fixed, which means it’s all set for a direct theatrical release and will be available in theaters in September instead of streaming. But that’s all for the theatrical audience; what about the streaming audience following the theatrical release? So we are here for the streaming audience to inform them about the film’s streaming. 

Will Beetlejuice 2 Be On HBO Max?

Yes, Beetlejuice 2 will be officially streaming on HBO Max following its theatrical release, as it’s an official production of Warner Bros. Pictures. In other words, Beetlejuice 2 is an official production of Warner Bros. Pictures and is subject to the product’s streaming policy, according to which the sequel will be exclusively streaming on HBO Max. There is no confirmed streaming release date, but it’s expected that it will be available for HBO Max after 60 to 80 days of its theatrical window^[1]. 

Will Beetlejuice 2 Be On Disney Plus?

No, Beetlejuice 2 will not be streaming on Disney Plus, as it’s not a production of Walt Disney Studios. Walt Disney Studios and Warner Bros. Pictures are rivals, and there is no streaming between them. HBO Max is already set as a streaming platform for the film. So because of all these reasons, it is almost impossible that Beetlejuice 2 will be streaming for Disney Plus and Disney Plus users will be able to watch it anytime. 

According to critics, Beetlejuice 2 is going to be an advanced experience for the audience, and theatres are the best option to watch instead of streaming devices or platforms. Read To More: Is Twisters Movie on HBO Max or Netflix?

Pictures. 

Well, this year has been pretty good for Paramount Pictures so far, but still, the production is looking for a big blockbuster, and perhaps now this quest for production is about to end with a prequel to A Quiet Place, which is on the way to its theatrical release on June 28, 2024^[1]. As part of the popular franchise A Quiet Place, the production is trying to bring the audience to the ticket window, and much effort has been put into it. These efforts are paying off, and it looks like this medium-budget film will be off to a good start. The audience is interested in the film. 

A Quiet Place Day One Box Office Prediction

As a survival thriller and part of A Quiet Place, there is a decent craze among the adult audience about the film, and with the fresh cast, the buzz is above par. Considering the buzz, box office estimates predict a minimum of $40–45 million on its opening weekend for A Quiet Place: Day One across the United States and Canada, which is a solid debut for a medium-budget survival thriller film with fresh faces. Apart from this, it’s just a minimum number considering the competition from the other big films, like Inside Out 2 and Bad Boys 4. If everything goes in favor, then these numbers can be higher than this.

The debut projection is quite correct, but the makers seem worried about the long run. There is a big competition around the film, which includes family audience films like Inside Out 2 and Despicable Me 4, and to clash and survive with these films is no less than a miracle. The film comes with a fresh cast, and it will be crucial for the cast to connect with the audience. Word of mouth has always been a major factor. As of now, box office experts are expecting A Quiet Place: Day One to earn $125 million domestically and $250 million globally on its lifetime box office run.

As a medium-budget film, the projected numbers for A Quiet Place: Day One are promising and indicate a sure-shot box office hit for Paramount Pictures. But still, there is something here that disappoints the makers because the makers are expecting more from it, and it’s also slightly lower than its predecessors. However, there are still many days left for the release, and it is not certain when the audience’s interest in the film will change. So if the production does not reduce its efforts, then it may do better than expectations and give tough competition to competitors.

Although the duo of Marvel and Walt Disney is the pillar of the industry, the production has been yearning for success for some time now. According to critics, Walt Disney’s poor performance in the superhero world is due to his wrong decisions, mostly attributed to the film’s overspending. In our opinion, Walt Disney’s spending more on average films has proved to be harmful, whereas it could be spent on good cinema. But the production probably doesn’t care what the critics think, and once again, the production has invested a lot of money in its film. Yes, we are talking about Deadpool 3, which will be released theatrically on July 26, 2024.

Deadpool 3 Budget Revealed

According to production sources, Marvel and Walt Disney Studios’ Deadpool 3 comes with a massive budget, and the production budget for the film is $250 million, excluding print and advertising costs. With a $250 million budget, Deadpool 3 is also one of the highest-budget films of the year, alongside Gladiator 2, Moana 2, and Mufasa: The Lion King. Not just that, the $250 million budget also makes it the most expensive film in the overall Deadpool franchise, even two times more than Deadpool 2’s $110 million^[1]. 

Unlike its predecessors— Produced under 20th Century Fox— Deadpool 3 was produced by Kevin Feige, Ryan Reynolds, Shawn Levy, and Lauren Shuler Donner under the production of Marvel and Walt Disney Studios. It’s a common thing that the cost of anything that Walt Disney Studios is associated with can never be reduced. The production was already sure that the decision to bring back Deadpool and Wolverine would cost them dearly. This is exactly what happened. But when the production saw the craze for the film among the audience, they would not have been disappointed and didn’t worry about the cost at all. 

Although there was a pre-production plan to make this film less expensive than this, due to various reasons, the makers could not keep the cost down. The SAG-AFTRA strike had a huge impact on the film, and as a result, the production had to be given double remuneration. Apart from this, the production had to put in a lot of effort to bring back the main faces, and according to insiders, every cast member has been paid millions. Overall, Deadpool 3 is a massively budgeted film, which the production is seeing as a game changer. Well, it will bring MCU Phase 5 back on track.
