In a statement released to ET Canada, Paramount Pictures confirmed the delay.
“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’. 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,” the statement reads.
The film held its premiere in New York City over in March while the film’s star Emily Blunt and Krasinski were briefly making the media rounds to promote the movie before the COVID-19 shutdown.
By July, another delay hit “A Quiet Place Part II” having the film moved from Sept. 4, 2020, to April 23, 2021.
