The US horror thriller "A Quiet Place 2" should actually hit German cinemas next week. But it doesn't get that far, because the start has been postponed worldwide due to the corona pandemic. The film production company Paramount Pictures announced this in a statement from which the industry website "Variety" quotes: "We support and believe in the cinematic experience, and we look forward to presenting this film to the public this year as soon as we get a better one Understand the impact of this pandemic on the global cinema market. "
"Group date" as soon as possible
Director John Krasinski (40, "A Quiet Place") also commented on the postponement of his film. He was most proud that so many people said that you had to watch this film together. At the moment it is not the right time for it. "As excited as we are that you all want to see this film … I will wait until the film is released until we can all see it together! This is a film group date! See you soon," explains Krasinski on Instagram.
Cancellation not an isolated case
Cancellation of the theatrical release is currently no exception. Releases such as the new James Bond flick "No Time to Die" and "Peter Rabbit 2" have been postponed. Countries like Italy, Poland and India have already closed all cinemas.
The first part of the film raised around $ 340 million worldwide. Director Krasinski is married to "A Quiet Place 2" actress Emily Blunt (37). The two have two daughters.
