Nope Continues A Jordan Peele Box Office Record
Jordan Peele’s latest movie Nopeis set to reach the $100 million mark at the box office this week, making it Peele’s third movie in a row to cross that threshold. Peele, who also wrote and directed Get Outand Us, is known for his inventive, genre-bending movies that elicit horror, delight, and reflection from their audiences. On the surface, Nopeis about people encountering an extra-terrestrial force at the only Black-owned horse training ranch in Hollywood. But many critics and fans have been dissecting the movie in search of what it may be saying about Hollywood exploitation, race, animal rights, and more. Nopestars Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, Steven Yeun, Brandon Perea, and Michael Wincott.

On its opening day, it made $19.5 million and had the highest-grossing opening weekend for any original movie since Us. As of August 7, Nopeis third at the domestic box office, behind Bullet Train and DC League of Super-Pets, and ahead of Thor: Love and Thunder as well as Top Gun: Maverick.
