Jordan Peele’s “Us” Shatters Weekend Box Office
Jordan Peele’s deliciously creepy psychological thriller “Us” shattered the whole entire box office with a $70 million opening weekend (YES, SEV-EN-TEE) that exceeded industry expectations, silenced the doubters and proved “Get Out” wasn’t a fluke. But wait, there’s more: It’s now the highest grossing original Horror movie of all-time (after its first week) with the third biggest opening for a Horror film EVER.
Whew, Black Horror excellence with an Oscar-worthy performance from Lupita Nyong’o, countless meme-able moments and mind-blowing theories that have Twitter in a dot-connecting TIZZY.
