US box office: No, Jordan Peele’s new movie is stronger than Get Out?

to remember

After Get Out and Us, director Jordan Peele returns with a highly anticipated new genre film! BoopReleased this Friday in the US and on August 10th in France, is it off to a better start than the American filmmaker’s previous films?

Nope is better than Get Out, which was released in February 2017 and whose success was a surprise. Worse Than Us, on the other hand, released in March 2019 in the United States, grossing $71 million in its opening weekend.

With an initial estimate of $44 million, Nope is off to a great start, especially given its reasonable budget (estimated at $40 million) for this type of production. This means that the film is already profitable!

Moreover, as noted by our colleagues Boxoffice Pro“It’s also the best opening for an original screenplay since Us , and it’s slightly ahead of Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood , which came out in July of that year ($41 million)..”

No, rather, it manages to expel Torah 4 From the 3rd weekend of operation. The Marvel movie goes down a notch. Note also that this weekend’s entire Top 10 rankings are exactly the same as last week’s, except that each film is moved up one spot by Nope fans.

Let’s mention it among the sequels Minions 2 which should cross the 300 million dollar mark in the US box office in the coming days. For reference, the first Opus (which crossed the $1 billion mark worldwide) totaled $336 million in the United States.
