Another domino has fallen in the 2021 movie release calendar as Paramount Pictures has delayed their horror sequel A Quiet Place Part II once again. Originally scheduled to be released on March 18 last year, the studio pushed the movie back at the last minute due to the ongoing COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic to a September 2020 release date. It was delayed again until April of 2021, and has now been pushed back once again and is now scheduled to be released on September 17th. It’s unclear if the horror-thriller follow-up will be forced to vacate that date as well and arrive later but check back here for more details as we learn them.

It should be noted that Paramount’s insistence on releasing A Quiet Place Part II in theaters is actually a great sign. Though fans are no doubt eager to watch it now and would perhaps be willing to pay to watch it in theaters, the studio clearly has faith in the feature and thinks they stand the best chance of making money from it by releasing it in theaters. That’s not to say that other Paramount features that have been sold off to streaming services rather than slated for a later theatrical release aren’t good, but that they had to make money off them some way and they considered their best course to be a sale.
