John Krasinski is officially back at the helm for A Quiet Place Part III, set to hit theaters on July 9, 2027. This marks his return as writer, director, and producer of the acclaimed franchise, nearly seven years after Part II premiered in 2021.
The Quiet Place series has become a cornerstone of modern horror. The original 2018 film, written and directed by Krasinski, earned over $340 million worldwide on a modest $17 million budget.
Its 2021 sequel followed with another $297 million in global box office receipts. Combined with the 2024 prequel Day One, the franchise has surpassed $900 million worldwide.
