That's below Us's opening but that was also 3 years ago. Which is 10 years in pandemic time.Universal's Nope, one of the few remaining tentpoles in a rebounding summer box office, looks to provide a lift this weekend with an estimated $50M start at 3,700 theaters with an eye at guys 17-34.
Nope is the third genre film from Oscar winner Jordan Peele, and while its start in U.S./Canada will be above that of his 2017 debut film, Get Out ($33.3M), it will be under the filmmaker's 2019 title Us ($71.1M).
Of Peele's trio, Nope has the highest budget at $68M after California tax incentives (the pic was shot in the Agua Dulce desert in northern Los Angeles County), ranking ahead of Us' $20M production cost before P&A and Get Out's thrifty $4.5M. Peele shot Nope in Imax.
Nope is also the longest movie in Peele's canon at 2 hours and 15 minutes.
