Jordan Peele’s third feature as director, nope, <\/em>grossed $6.4M last night from 3,250 theaters that began at 4PM.<\/p>\n

That’s a good start for a Peele movie, just 14% off from the $7.4M which his last horror pic, Base, <\/em>made back in March 2019. That pic posted a $71.1M opening, the best start for an R-Rated original horror movie at the domestic box office.<\/p>\n

nope<\/em>‘s previews are well ahead of Get Out<\/em>‘s $1.8M, which was a movie that audiences discovered in its opening weekend and flocked to, sending its opening to $33.3M.<\/p>\n

Base <\/em>is Peele’s longest movie to date at 2 hours and 15 minutes. The movie’s critical scores on Rotten Tomatoes are, so far, the lowest of his three films, but the numbers are pretty good at 81% next to Base<\/em>‘ 93% Certified fresh and the Oscar-winning Get Out<\/em>‘s at 98% certified fresh. The audience score on Rotten Tomatoes for nope <\/em>currently sits at 78% next to Base<\/em>‘ 60% and Get Out<\/em>‘s 86%. <\/em><\/p>\n

nope <\/em>is expected to make around $50M. It may come in less than that given the runtime here for a horror movie, and should the critical scores ease. The movie was made for $68M in the Santa Clarity Valley before P&A.<\/p>\n

Disney\/Marvel’s Thor: Love and Thunder <\/em>led Thursday among regular films in release with an estimated $3.8M at 4,375 theaters, -15% from Wednesday for a running two week total of $254M, 13% ahead of Thor: Ragnarok <\/em>versus the same time frame.<\/p>\n

Universal\/Illumination’s Minions: Rise of Gru <\/em>did $3.6M at 4,114 theaters, -4% from Wednesday for a running three week total of $280.1M, 1.8% ahead of 2015’s minions <\/em>over the same period. minions <\/em>ended its stateside run at $336M.<\/p>\n

Sony’s Where the Crawdads Sing <\/em>posted a $2.3M Thursday at 3,650 theaters, -8% from Wednesday for a first week total of $28M. That’s 31% ahead of the $21.3M first week take of summer weepy The Notebook <\/em>which ultimately finaled at $81M at the domestic box office.<\/p>\n

Paramount\/Skydance’s Top Gun: Maverick <\/em>at 3,292 grossed $1.6M yesterday, -4% from Wednesday for a running eight week total of $625.5M.<\/p>\n
