As the coronavirus pandemic continues to spread across the globe, Paramount Pictures has announced that it has delayed the release of the horror sequel A Quiet Place Part II.
“After much consideration, and in light of the ongoing and developing situation concerning coronavirus and restrictions on global travel and public gatherings, Paramount Pictures will be moving the worldwide release of A Quiet Place Part II,” read the official announcement from the studio. “We believe in and support the theatrical experience, and we look forward to bringing this film to audiences this year once we have a better understanding of the impact of this pandemic on the global theatrical marketplace.”
“One of the things I’m most proud of is that people have said our movie is one you have to see all together,” added director John Krasinski. “Well due to the ever-changing circumstances of what’s going on in the world around us, now is clearly not the right time to do that. As insanely excited as we are for all of you to see this movie. I’m gonna wait to release the film till we CAN all see it together! So here’s to our group movie date! See you soon!”
