What happens

A Quiet Place Part II is a 2020 American post-apocalyptic horror film written, directed, and co-produced by John Krasinski. It is the sequel to A Quiet Place (2018), following the family from the film as they continue to navigate a post-apocalyptic world inhabited by blind aliens with an acute sense of hearing. Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe, and Krasinski reprise their roles from the first film, while Cillian Murphy and Djimon Hounsou join the cast. Paramount Pictures began developing a sequel in April 2018, following the box-office success of A Quiet Place. By August, Krasinski was working on the screenplay, and in February 2019, he was confirmed as returning to direct. Krasinski's starting idea was making Simmonds the lead, as he considered her character the conduit for the themes from the first film that he wanted to expand on in the sequel. Production took place in Western New York from June to September 2019. Krasinski was credited with writing the sequel, based on characters created by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods. The sequel was produced on a budget of around $55–61 million, over three times the original's $17 million. The film had its world premiere in New York City on March 8, 2020. After over a year of postponements due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was theatrically released in the United States on May 28, 2021. It became available to stream on Paramount+ 45 days after its theatrical debut. The film set several box office records, including the biggest opening weekend during the course of the pandemic, and grossed $297.5 million worldwide. It received positive reviews from critics, who praised the story and the addition of Murphy's character Emmett. A Quiet Place Part III, the third and final film following the original film's family, is scheduled to be released on July 30, 2027. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
