John Krasinski responded to Amy Schumer's joke that he and his wife Emily Blunt got married for publicity.

On Sunday, the stand-up comedian recounted her positive experience watching "A Quiet Place II," a film that hit theaters over the weekend. Krasinski wrote and directed the sequel to his 2018 blockbuster success, and Blunt reprised her lead role as Evelyn Abbott.

"I loved every second of @aquietplacemovie even better than the first one which blew me away. Amazing to be in a movie theater," Schumer wrote.

The "Trainwreck" actress continued, "Although I've said for a long time I think Emily and John have a pretend marriage for publicity. But I still think you should see it this rainy weekend."

"A Quiet Place II" was originally slated to premiere in March 2020. Like many other movies and TV series, the post-apocalyptic thriller was postponed over a year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

But the wait proved to be worth it. The Paramount Pictures production has already become the biggest North American box-office hit since the start of the pandemic, according to BBC.

The outlet reported that the film earned an estimated $48 million in the three-day span between Friday and Sunday, hovering surprisingly close to the $55 million it was projected to make during its opening weekend in 2020 ahead of its delay.

As Variety's Rebecca Rubin pointed out, hopeful studio executives are viewing "A Quiet Place II's" triumphant performance in the box office as a promising sign that movie-goers are ready to return to theaters.

Krasinski celebrated the film's theatrical release by visiting "A Quiet Place II" audiences at movie theaters across the country - spanning from Los Angeles to Houston to Miami.

"#TheatersAreBACK," he wrote under each of the social media posts.

"A Quiet Place II" is currently playing in 3,726 venues and expected to make $58 million by the end of Memorial Day weekend, Variety reports.

After the movie's 45-day run in theaters, it will move to Paramount Plus, ViacomCBS's streaming platform.
