The Universal Pictures film, which stars Daniel Kaluuya as a Hollywood horse wrangler dealing with extraterrestrial issues, is projected to make around $50 million in North America this weekend. <\/div>\n<p>That would give the movie the No.  1 spot at the box office, and nearly make back its $68 million budget.  Plus, it would deliver Peele his third straight hit. <\/p>\n<p>The movie made $6.4 million in previews on Thursday.<\/p>\n<div data-paragraph-id=\"paragraph_D6DD6012-2E9E-E327-BAA0-219D113BBF45\">Peele, who started in the sketch comedy world on Comedy Central&#8217;s &#8220;Key &#038; Peele,&#8221; came blazing onto the film scene in 2017 with his directorial debut, &#8220;Get Out.&#8221;  The horror movie was a phenomenon, critically and commercially.<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The movie, which also starred Kaluuya as he battled white suburbanites taking over Black bodies, was a massive surprise his, making $255 million worldwide \u2014 about 56 times its production budget.  The film nabbed four Oscars nominations, including Best Picture, with Peele winning for Best Original Screenplay.<\/p>\n<p>Following that up would be difficult for any first-time director, but Peele was up for the challenge.<\/p>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\" data-paragraph-id=\"paragraph_0345B1DD-37F2-BFD4-869A-21A1F0E23EA9\">&#8220;Us,&#8221; his second film, blew past expectations at the box office in 2019, opening to roughly $70 million in North America \u2014 more than tripling its production budget of $20 million in its first weekend.  The movie eventually made $255 million worldwide as well.<\/div>\n<p>Now, Peele is back to see if he can do it again.<\/p>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\" data-paragraph-id=\"paragraph_8A794C37-798D-6FC7-2539-21A388289D89\">&#8220;Nope&#8221; is garnering solid reviews with a 81% score on review site Rotten Tomatoes.  A lack of competition and excessive heat throughout the US could boost numbers as audiences look for air-conditioned solace at the cineplex.<\/div>\n<div class=\"el__embedded el__embedded--standard\">\n<div class=\"el__storyelement--standard el__article--embed\">\n<div class=\"el__article--teaseimage\"><noscript><img alt=\"'Nope'  puts Jordan Peele's quirky spin on an alien-invasion thriller\" class=\"media__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cdn.cnn.com\/cnnnext\/dam\/assets\/220718182257-01-nope-movie-large-169.jpg?ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\" data-paragraph-id=\"paragraph_263032E1-62E4-6888-5AA5-25F5B79CFA76\">Then again, &#8220;Nope&#8221; may also face some hurdles this weekend since it&#8217;s an original film.  It&#8217;s arguably more difficult to rope in audiences when a film is not connected to any intellectual property or brand like Marvel or isn&#8217;t a sequel to a popular film like &#8220;Top Gun: Maverick.&#8221;  Also, Peele&#8217;s movies \u2014 while certainly entertaining \u2014 are reliably cerebral, which could leave some audiences perplexed more than pleased.<\/div>\n<p>After directing two hit films Peele is something of a franchise unto himself and his name on the poster alone could be enough to wrangle audiences.<\/p>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\" data-paragraph-id=\"paragraph_CAA08F2E-6C8B-3218-3F5C-21C7BDFE2E11\">For the movie theater industry, the opening of &#8220;Nope&#8221; is vital, since there are few big movies for the rest of the summer, which so far has rebounded nicely from two terrible years because of the pandemic.<\/div>\n<p>If it opens well and gets strong word of mouth, the next few weeks of the summer box office could hold steady, bolstered by new audiences seeing &#8220;Nope&#8221; and old audiences returning to see it again.<\/p>\n<p>If not, &#8220;Nope&#8221; won&#8217;t just be the title of the movie, but could also be the answer to &#8220;Hey, is there anything good playing at the movies?&#8221;  into the fall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>    .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The director&#8217;s third movie, &#8220;Nope,&#8221; opens this weekend, and despite a plot shrouded in mystery it&#8217;s one of the most anticipated films of the year.
