Per Variety‘s report, Paramount Pictures, the studio behind A Quiet Place Part II, released a statement about the film’s inevitable delay: “After much consideration, and in light of the ongoing and developing situation concerning coronavirus and restrictions on global travel and public gatherings, Paramount Pictures will be moving the worldwide release of A Quiet Place Part II. We believe in and support the theatrical experience, and we look forward to bringing this film to audiences this year once we have a better understanding of the impact of this pandemic on the global theatrical marketplace.”
Krasinski, who’s back in the director’s chair for the second installment — though he only appears in the narrative in flashbacks — released his own statement in a post on Instagram. “One of the things I’m most proud of is that people have said our movie is one you have to see all together. Well due to the ever-changing circumstances of what’s going on in the world around us, now is clearly not the right time to do that,” he stated. “As insanely excited as we are for all of you to see this movie .. I’m gonna wait to release the film till we CAN all see it together! So here’s to our group movie date! See you soon!”
Clearly, the team behind A Quiet Place Part II didn’t want to take such a drastic measure when it came to the film’s release, but with concerns over public safety hitting a frightening high, it does seem like they made the responsible choice.
