Quiet Place and Cruella were released Friday as cinemas are reopening and moviegoers are returning after vaccinations became more commonplace.

Last weekend's total weekend gross was $19,243,889, led by the horror movie, Spiral.

One year ago from March 13-15, the last weekend before most theaters closed because of the pandemic, the total gross was $53,706,394.
