Paramount Pictures and Platinum Dunes’ A Quiet Place (read our review out of SXSWcontinues to roll, although it was slowed significantly by the release of the new Avengers. Still, the John Krasinski-directed sci-fi thriller pulled in yet another $10.65M estimated this weekend for $148M domestic take (topping M. Night Shyamalan’s Split) and worldwide total of $235M. It should pass both $150M/$250M milestones this coming week.

As for the Brad Peyton-directed video game adaptation Rampage (read our review), which features Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and a trio of enormous monsters, it’s added $7.1M for $78M domestically. When the international numbers are reported, Rampage will have topped $300M worldwide. Even with these numbers, it needs another few strong international weekends to be considered a success. We’re awaiting this weekend’s results.

Universal Pictures and Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare (read our review) continues to quietly stack its winnings, adding another $3.21M for a $35M domestic total on just a $3.5M reported budget. Some international numbers have also finally been reported, adding $12M to the total for $47M worldwide, meaning it will top $50M by the end of its run. Damn Gina!

Potential updated numbers forthcoming.

One of the genre films set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in June is the sci-fi/drama She Loved Blossoms More, and a bonkers first-look photo has arrived this week (above).

Additionally, Variety reports this afternoon that Yellow Veil Pictures has secured world sales on She Loved Blossoms More, billed as a “family drama in science fiction disguise.”

In the film, “three brothers build an unusual time-machine in order to bring their long-dead mother back to life. When their delusional father comes into the picture, the experiments go awry, and they descend into a psychedelic hellscape where the past and present fuse in a comedic yet deeply disturbing exploration of grief.”

Yannis Veslemes directed the film and co-wrote with Dimitris Emmanouilidis.

Veslemes said in a statement shared by Variety, “[She Loved Blossoms More is] a ballad for the defeated, a comedy for the accursed, a moral tale for us all and our beloved families.”

She Loved Blossoms More is the first film we’ve onboarded at script stage, and it’s been quite amazing to see it come alive,” said Hugues Barbier of Yellow Veil Pictures. “We couldn’t be more proud of Yannis’ vision and the amazing team he has around him. Blossoms is an emotional thrill ride and a calling card for one of the most exciting new filmmakers.”
