The month of April got off to an excellent start this weekend, lead by a stunning $50 million debut for Paramount’s thriller A Quiet Place. Meanwhile, Ready Player One posted solid results in its sophomore frame, while Blockers was no slouch in third.

A Quiet Place was clearly set for a strong opening this weekend, but it was hard to imagine anything this high; the PG-13 suspense film took in a stunning $50 million, a number which is leagues ahead of essentially any comparable film; it more than doubled the start of 10 Cloverfield Lane, was $17 million higher than Get Out, and also beat Split by around $10 million. There’s plenty of reasons for this excellent debut, namely the engaging premise and fantastic critical response. This performance also doesn’t bode well for Truth or Dare next weekend, which may come in below Quiet Place despite the week apart. It does bode well for upcoming titles such as Hereditary, however, showing that audiences clearly want well reviewed horror.

With a budget of just $17 million, this was the hit that Paramount has desperately needed for some time. In fact, it’s their highest debut since Star Trek Beyond back in July of 2016. With a strong (for the genre) B+ Cinemascore, it should hold strong in the coming weeks. A total above $125 million is likely, and it could even top the $150 million mark if all goes well.

Ready Player One continued its solid run, down just 40% to $25 million in round two. Worldwide, the Spielberg adventure has amassed nearly $400 million so far, and is en route to top half a billion quite quickly. Despite the doom and gloom surrounding it before release, it appears as though audiences were on board, and this will end up being a definite win for Warner Brothers.

In third, Blockers opened on the higher end of expectations with $21.4 million. That’s actually a notch above the films production budget, making this a solid hit for Universal. The premise and strong reviews helped it appeal to both teen and adult audiences, and as a result was the highest opening for an R rated comedy since Girls Trip last July. The B Cinemascore is a bit worrying, however, so it likely won’t be as leggy as something like Game Night. Still, it should wind up with over $60 million unless it’s strangely front loaded.

Two other films went nationwide this weekend, Chappaquiddick and The Miracle Season, both of which came in higher than expected. Chappaquiddick managed to pull in $6.2 million, much of which was from older audiences. The film was the definition of a non-front loaded film, jumping 32% on Saturday and making less than 3% of its weekend from Thursday previews. This continues the trend of Entertainment Studios of putting out a film that opens a bit higher than expected, yet still isn’t particularly strong in comparison to how much was spent on getting it into theaters.

The Miracle Season opened with $4.1 million from around 1,700 theaters, which is a fine opening considering the almost complete lack of marketing for the volleyball drama. No budget is available, but it doesn’t appear to be terribly pricey given the nature of the trailers.

Rounding out the top 10 was Isle of Dogs in its last limited weekend before going nationwide, where the animation grossed $4.6 million from 554 theaters. With $12 million in the bank thus far, the film seems to be targeting a total somewhere between Moonrise Kingdom and The Grand Budapest Hotel, meaning somewhere around $45-50 million.

In the specialty market, You Were Never Really Here posted a solid $129K from 3 theaters, while A24’s horse drama Lean on Pete was a bit quieter, taking in $50K from 4 theaters. YWNRH goes nationwide on the 20th, while no expansion plans are currently available for Pete.

Next weekend will be quite crowded, with the wide releases of Rampage, Truth or Dare, and Isle of Dogs, Sgt. Stubby and Borg Vs. McEnroe all set to hit theaters.
