A few even noted that, if people had concerns then they may want to take a second look at A Quiet Place as that film has plot elements very similar to a novel itself - Tim Lebbon's 2015 work The Silence. Reactions ranged from simple questioning to straight accusation while a few acknowledged that the two films were not connected by such lifting of ideas. Of course, not everyone who has seen Bird Box is aware of its literary history and took to Twitter to express their "rip-off" concerns. This means that if anything, one could argue that it's A Quiet Place that is a rip-off of the Bird Box novel - though in reality it's more accurate to say that the two stories simply share the common thread of human beings having to adapt and survive in a world where the status quo has been horribly disrupted. The film rights to Malerman's novel were optioned by Universal Studios in 2013 even before the book's release, with Eric Heisserer in talks to adapt the book to film in 2015. The novel Bird Box, written by Josh Malerman was released on Main the United Kingdom and a few months later on in the United States. Despite being released after A Quiet Place, the film is actually based on a book released nearly five years ago.
Sounds similar, just with the problematic sense swapped out, but there's a problem with the claims that Bird Box ripped off A Quiet Place, a big on. Like A Quiet Place, Bird Box follows one family in particular as they struggle to exist in this new world, specifically as they attempt to make it to a sanctuary safe from the threat.
SUCH A QUIET PLACE WINDOWS
Those who have not yet succumbed to the entity wear blindfolds when outside and block off the windows when indoors to prevent themselves from seeing the entity. In comparison, Bird Box sees humanity clinging to survive after an invasion of another sort, a mysterious entity if seen take the form of their victim's worst fears, prompting them to commit suicide - often violently. This prompts the remaining survivors to live in near silence.
In A Quiet Place, humanity - the family specifically follows the experiences of one family in particular - clings to survival after sightless creatures of unknown origin have wiped out most of Earth's living population as the nearly-indestructible beings hunt an attack based on sound. It's easy to see why audiences might think that.
Note: there may be spoilers for Bird Box (as well as A Quiet Place if you haven't seen that yet) beyond this point.
