Nope’s number one box office debut scores a hat-trick for Jordan Peele.
Writer-director Jordan Peele notched the third number one debut of his career with Nope, described as “a dark pop nightmare of uncanny science fiction and complex social thriller that unpacks the seeds of violence.” The film opened to $44 million at the domestic box office, ahead of its international rollout, which begins on August 12.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Nope’s $44 million haul, which is slightly lower than the $50 million that was projected going into the weekend, is the best domestic debut for an original screenplay since Us, and marginally better than Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood . Additionally, Nope outperformed Elvis, which opened to $31 million a few weeks ago.
