These are strange times we're living in. All of this flagrant corruption and unanswered questions are enough to turn the most rational social analysts into full-fledged conspiracy theorists. Take this social environment, and put it into a film that cleverly boils this racial tension into a 2-hour horror-comedy, blending our day-to-day interactions with microaggressions against an extreme horrific plot — and what you get is pure cinematic magic!
Jordan Peele's Get Out brilliantly capitalized on our biggest fears to achieve box office gold, and we are here for it!
According to Joblo, Peele's critically-acclaimed directorial debut film, which has earned over $100 million at the box office, is now the third highest-grossing R-rated horror movie of all time:
1. The Exorcist: $232.9 million
2. Hannibal: $165 million
3. Get Out: $162.8 million
4. The Blair Witch Project: $140.5 million
5. The Conjuring: $137.4 million
6. The Silence of the Lambs: $130.7 million
7. Shutter Island: $128.0 million
8. Prometheus: $126.4 million
9. Paranormal Activity: $107.9 million
10. Black Swan: $106.9 million
Not to mention, do you remember that much darker alternate ending for the movie that Jordan Peele has talked about? Well, when the film is released on DVD, Blu-ray and digital download next month, you'll be able to watch it yourself! It arrives on digital HD on May 9 and will be available in Blu-ray, DVD, and on demand on May 23
The home release also has as a cast Q&A hosted by Chance The Rapper.
For stans of 'Get Out,' this is like Christmas!
