Jordan Peeles Get Out Scores Monster $30.5 Million Opening
Get Out, a trenchant horror film about race relations, rode critical raves to a smashing box office debut. The low-budget film was the weekends top-grossing domestic release, earning $30.5 million, and propelling its director and writer Jordan Peele onto the Hollywood A-list. The film, which centers on a black man who discovers that his girlfriends liberal, lily-white hometown is guarding a sinister secret, marks a departure for Peele, who is best-known for his work on the Comedy Central series Key & Peele. It proves he can handle scares, as well as laughs, supplying sly social commentary in both genres.
Get Out also extends Blumhouse Productions hot hand. The film company scored earlier this year with Split, a thriller about a man with a personality disorder that racked up $130.8 million stateside on a $9 million budget. Universal distributed, marketed, and partnered on both movies.
Get Out benefited from being embraced by reviewers, earning a rare 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with the likes of the Wall Street Journals Joe Morgenstern hailing its explosive brilliance and the New York Times Manohla Dargis praising it as exhilaratingly smart. Not the kind of notices most horror films enjoy. Its success comes as most of the movie business gaze is affixed on the Dolby Theater, where the Academy Awards will unfold on Sunday, with La La Land expected to be the nights big winner.
