Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic More than a million and a half people live on the island of Manhattan. “A Quiet Place: Day One” focuses on two: Samira (Lupita Nyong’o), a Stage 4 cancer patient, and Eric (“Stranger Things” actor Joseph Quinn), a far-from-home stranger she stumbles upon after the noise-sensitive aliens crash-land in New York. Neither one seems to have much in the way of survival instinct, which makes them an odd couple on whom to concentrate the Big Apple-set prequel to 2018’s hit creature feature — which is probably why writer-director Michael Sarnoski (“Pig”) decided to give Samira a cat named Frodo.

If you were dying, how would you handle an apocalypse? What would motivate you? How would you react to a surprise global catastrophe unfolding around you? Those are the initial questions asked by Michael Sarnoski’s “A Quiet Place: Day One,” an unexpectedly moving prequel to John Krasinski’s pair of genre-twisting thrillers that began with 2018’s “A Quiet Place.” And before you yell “Spoiler!” we’re sad to say the first scene in the movie takes place in a hospice where we meet our unconventional heroine, Sam (Lupita Nyong’o).

It’s Disney/Pixar’s weekend to lose with the third session of Inside Out 2, which is expected to do $55 million-$60 million at the domestic box office — and maybe even more.

Rebecca Rubin Senior Film and Media Reporter Will audiences care about the world of “A Quiet Place” without John Krasinski or Emily Blunt? That’ll be the presiding question as “A Quiet Place: Day One,” a prequel story in Paramount’s post-apocalyptic horror series, hits theaters on Friday. The film, which takes place a while before the Abbotts (the family at the center of the prior two movies) were forced into hiding from terrifying, sound-hunting creatures, is expected to collect a solid $40 million to $50 million in its opening weekend. The prequel cost $67 million to produce.

The marketing for “A Quiet Place: Day One” has been very consistent and obvious. There really isn’t much that needs to happen for the film to sell itself to audiences.
