Thriller film A Quiet Place – which topped the US box office – pulled in $2.42m on its local weekend debut for Paramount, leaving it in third place.

Last week’s weekend box office champion, Steven Spielberg’s take on sci-fi novel Ready Player One, was knocked into second place with $2.56m this weekend, with Sony Pictures’ children’s film Peter Rabbit back on top thanks to $2.90m in ticket sales.  After two weeks in theatres, Ready Player One has now earned $8.73m in total. Peter Rabbit, which has been in local theatres one week longer, has earned $14.93m.
