It’s also been a weak year for horror sans this weekend’s The Invisible Man (which is getting good reviews), so if A Quiet Place Part II is good, pent-up audience demand might reward it.
A Quiet Place Part II should also benefit from its release date as it is the only big studio release on March 20.
Onward will be in its third weekend and the previous week will see the release of things like Bloodshot and The Hunt, but I don’t see those films as either direct or strong competition for A Quiet Place Part II.
