Shame and disgrace continues to befall
industry insiders who have often argued that movies focused on
characters of colour have little commercial value.
For, after watching ‘Hidden Figures’, ‘Moonlight‘ and ‘Fences‘
rock the box office, they have now learned that the African-American
movie ‘Get Out’ has earned over $30 million…within two days.
Good news below…
The Jordan Peele project cast a black
shadow over its rivals at the box office weekend when the general public
swarmed theatres to catch it in thrilling action.
Their support saw the project bag $30.5 million and recoup its budget of $5 million within hours.
Elated, Universal domestic distribution president Nick Carpou shared:We already knew how talented Jordan Peele is. Now, we’re witnessing a new chapter in his creativity. This movie speaks to a lot of truths. It isn’t really a horror film, it is very subversive and deals with issues of the day that are both frightening and funny.
