John Krasinski and Emily Blunt Battling Paramount Over 'A Quiet Place Part II' Paydays - /FILM

announced that every one of its 2021 releases would be dropped day and date on HBO Max, several high profile directors and actors did not react well to that news because it impacted the amount of money they could make based on a film’s theatrical performance.

John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, the creative forces involved in A Quiet Place Part II, are in a battle with the studio over their paydays for the upcoming sequel, which will likely be significant impacted by Paramount’s decision to put its new films on the new Paramount+ streaming service just 45 days after it debuts.

That decision also applies to A Quiet Place Part II, and a new report from Bloomberg says that Krasinski, the film’s writer and director, and Blunt, its primary star, are not thrilled about it.

But with some movie theaters still restricting their capacities, and audiences not back in the habit of visiting movie theaters in person, they fear that people will just wait the 45 days and see it on Paramount+, which would majorly impact the amount of money they would make.

A Quiet Place Part II arrives in theaters on May 28, 2021.
