Actor-director John Krasinski announced on Thursday that the debut of the highly anticipated sequel to his blockbuster dystopian film A Quiet Place has been postponed indefinitely due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
“To all A Quite Place fans. One of the things I’m most proud of is that people have said our movie is one you have to see all together,” Krasinski said in a note he posted to Instagram. “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 til we CAN all see it together! So here’s to our group movie date! See you soon!”
The film — which also stars actors Emily Blunt (Krasinski’s wife), Millicent Simmonds, Cillian Murphy, Noah Jupe, and Djimon Hounsou — was set to hit theaters in the U.S. on March 20 and European markets on March 18.
It’s just the latest blockbuster film to push back a release date over the Coronavirus pandemic.
Earlier this month, MGM and Universal announced that No Time to Die, the latest James Bond movie, has been postponed by seven months. The 25th Bond movie will open in the U.S. on November 25, the studio said, with a U.K. opening set for November 12.
