Writer-director Jordan Peele’s enigmatic sensibilities have clearly become a bankable box office brand. The filmmaker’s latest thriller, Nope, made $6.4 million from over 3,200 theaters in Thursday previews that began after 4 pm. The film will certainly top the box office in its debut weekend, with projections ranging from $45 million to $60 million.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Peele has been leveling up ever since he made his feature debut with the psychological horror Get Out. That film was produced on a $4.5 million budget and went on to win Peele an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. His follow-up, Us, was produced on a $20 million budget, and finished with a global box office haul of over $250 million — almost exactly the same as Get Out. By comparison, Get Out made $33 million in its opening weekend back in 2017 .
Nope is by far his most expensive project. Produced at a reported budget of $68 million, the film was shot with IMAX film cameras by Hoyte van Hoytema, perhaps the single-most experienced cinematographer working with large-format cameras these days. He is best known for his three collaborations with director Christopher Nolan — Interstellar, Dunkirk, Tenet and the upcoming Oppenheimer.
