John Krasinski is returning to direct, write and produce “A Quiet Place Part III.” The film has been set for a July 9, 2027, theatrical release, Paramount Pictures said Friday.
The first film, released in 2018, was a box-office smash, earning some $341 million worldwide on a budget of only $17 million. It also established Krasinski, who starred alongside his wife Emily Blunt in the postapocalyptic horror, as a bankable filmmaker. He returned to write and direct “A Quiet Place Part II,” the release of which was delayed over a year due to the pandemic.
The franchise also expanded to include a prequel, “A Quiet Place: Day One.” Krasinski produced but handed over the reins to filmmaker Michael Sarnoski. In total, the three films have grossed over $892 million.
Krasinski on Friday posted a graphic with the numeral “III” and the release date on Instagram. No other details about cast or story were immediately available.
