Some of these movies were supposed to come out last year but due to the pandemic many of them had to get moved to this year. Not only are we going to see brand new movies this year, but we are going to be seeing a lot of sequels to movies.

After the huge success of A Quiet Place Director John Krasinski knew there needed to be a second one.

Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe will star in the second movie alongside Krasinski. This movie is going to show how the Abbott family will face the terrors of the outside world. Forced to venture into the unknown, they realize the creatures that hunt by sound are not the only threats lurking beyond the sand path. This near silent film has now been postponed twice since its original date back in 2020. This movie is set to debut on September 17, 2021.
