00:00A Quiet Place Day 1 made a loud entrance at the domestic box office with the franchise best

00:09$6.8 million in Thursday previews. Heading into the weekend, tracking suggests that the prequel

00:15film starring Lupita Nyong'o and Joseph Quinn will open to $40 million plus. There's plenty

00:20of room for upside based on strong reviews and audience scores. The sci-fi horror thriller cost

00:25$70 million to produce before marketing. At the film's New York premiere, Nyong'o told the

00:30Hollywood reporter how she brought her character to life while having limited dialogue.

00:34As human beings, we're always communicating with more than our words. So for us as actors,

00:39when we're reading a script, we're always looking for what's happening between the lines. So then

00:43you just get rid of the dialogue and all you have is what's between the lines. And there's a certain

00:48kind of liberty that comes with that. Meanwhile, the outlook for Kevin Costner's pricey $100 million

00:54Western, Horizon and American Saga Chapter 1 is murkier. The film failed to crack $1 million in

01:00previews, instead reporting $800,000 in ticket sales. It's worth noting that older moviegoers,

01:06the film's target demo, don't tend to rush out to see a film.

01:09Men will come try you. They will take from you until you are wiped clean from this land.

01:16I'm just saying that's something you might want to keep in mind.

01:19The movie is tracking to open in the $10 to $12 million range, but many box office pundits

01:23believe the movie will overperform in America's heartland and come in higher.

01:27Costner told THR why he's so passionate about telling the story.

01:30It just speaks to me out loud. And that's been my kind of guide, my North Star of anything I've

01:36done. I thought Field of Dreams was good. You know, and I thought Tin Cup was good. I thought

01:41Bull Durham was a really nice movie. And Bodyguard was a movie that wasn't going to be made. It was

01:47written 17 years earlier. No Way Out was a movie called Finish with Engines. It had been written

01:52and no one was going to make it. So when I feel like I like a movie, I feel like audiences

01:58will like it. And when I saw Horizon, I just felt strongly that the world and America in particular

02:08could go west with me and feel like they saw things in a way they'd never seen it before.
