Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterJordan Peele, of all filmmakers, shouldn’t be surprised that the conversation around “Nope’s” box office performance has stirred up several hot takes.The director’s cerebral science-fiction thriller took in $44 million in its box office debut, easily leading domestic charts and impressively landing one of the biggest opening weekends in years for a film that’s not based on existing IP.And yet, there’s still debate about the film’s first weekend in theaters, with suggestions that initial numbers for “Nope” were “disappointing” or “lackluster.” Like any good Peele movie, there’s plenty to unpack about opening weekend revenues for “Nope.” And in fairness, the movie — starring Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer as siblings who discover something spooky around their family’s ranch — had a lot to live up to at the box office. “The bar has been raised so high,” says Paul Dergarabedian, a senior ComScore analyst.Peele can thank his last film, 2019’s doppelgänger horror story “Us,” for those sky-high expectations.

William Earl SPOILER ALERT: THE ENTIRE PLOT OF ‘NOPE’ WILL BE DISCUSSED IN THIS ARTICLE.Jordan Peele’s films are densely constructed, with plenty of symbolism and parallel storytelling built in. On one hand, “Nope” might be his most straightforward popcorn film, but early screenings left many fans connecting the dots between the story of OJ and Em Haywood (Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer) on the hunt for their “Oprah shot” of aliens and the tale of a young Ricky “Jupe” Park (Steven Yeun, with Jacob Kim in flashbacks) avoiding certain death at the bloodied hands of a chimpanzee.

Along with Brandon Perra as Angel, the trio attempt to capture the sighting on film.Peele called on Christopher Nolan’s preferred DP Hoyte Van Hoytema to shoot his spectacle. It was the Peele’s first outing shooting on film and using large format 65mm IMAX cameras.

Jordan Peele horror, NOPE is a more traditional experience from the horror-mystery director. Yet, it somehow still makes for the puzzling watch leading to open-ended discussion that the comedian-turned-filmmaker has become known for. This sci-fi monster romp identifies the threat early on, without wasting much time marveling at it or working to explain it.

Jon Burlingame editorDirector Jordan Peele launched Michael Abels’ film composing career five years ago with “Get Out.” Now, for Peele’s “Nope,” the two-time Emmy nominee has written his most ambitious score to date.“It has all these different elements,” says Abels. “There’s the awe and wonder that the characters experience, but then there’s also the satire.

Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaJordan Peele’s “Nope” grossed a solid $6.4 million in Thursday previews as it looks to be the rare blockbuster with a brain to succeed at the summer box office. The plot of the science-fiction horror film has been shrouded in mystery, but reviewers have likened “Nope’s” supernatural elements to Steven Spielberg classics such as “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”The Universal release is expected to top the domestic box office, but estimates vary about what it will ultimately rack up, ranging from predictions of a debut of $45 million to something in the $60 million neighborhood.

Jordan Peele‘s newest movie, Nope, is aptly titled, as a mysterious flying object over ominous clouds in the film’s first act makes it clear this is not your average alien horror flick.

Jordan Peele‘s much-anticipated third film, “NOPE,” hits theaters this weekend, and Universal Pictures has done a great job keeping the movie’s secrets under wraps. Plot details for the film remain scarce even days before its release.

Nope, explained the incident during a video interview with Wired when asked if she wears glasses.“I wear glasses, and now I’ve been walking around lately wearing two [pairs of] glasses,” Palmer said.“For all my spiritual heads out there that’s always looking for a different meditation vibe, don’t ever do the sun gazing, honey. I did sun gazing in Joshua Tree and I sunburned my retina playing around trying to be Gandhi and shit!”She added: “So be careful with that sun, the UVs, the global warming.

Daniel Kaluuya said he broke down laughing when he learned that Jordan Peele was titling his new horror movie Nope while promoting the film Wednesday on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.'For whatever reason, he was developing it, and I was like what's it called,' Daniel said while on the NBC talk show. 'He said ''Nope.'' I laughed for about 30 seconds because that is so funny. Because he said that's the reaction that Black people will have when they watch it.

the 2017 horror hit nobody saw coming, which thrust Peele and star Daniel Kaluuya into the stratosphere and netted a Best Picture Oscar nomination. But pass-the-popcorn “Nope,” which reunites the pair, is entertaining, smart, artful summer fare with its heart planted firmly in the 1980s heyday of blockbuster films. Just when you think, “They don’t make ’em like this anymore,” Kaluuya rides in on a horse.I’ll be careful not to reveal more secrets than I have to, but it’s OK to say that Kaluuya’s character OJ and his extrovert sister Emerald (Keke Palmer) are California animal trainers for film sets. Their family-owned ranch is called Haywood’s Hollywood Horses, and lately, business has been in a slump since their more experienced dad died mysteriously — he fell off his steed, and a quarter was found lodged in his brain.Soon after the tragedy, the horses begin having mysterious temper tantrums and regularly run off into the mountains.

Peculiarly shaped mirrors, Jordan Peele’s movies harness genre conventions, in varying degrees of success, to package ideological inquiries in exciting narrative vehicles where collective fears and biases are projected. To look into his intellectually adventurous pop confections means to confront those scary reflections while being utterly entertained.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticJordan Peele’s “Nope” is a tantalizingly creepy mixed bag of a sci-fi thriller. It’s a movie that taps into our fear and awe of UFOs, and for a while it holds us in a shivery spell. It picks the audience up and carries it along, feeding off spectral hints of the otherworldly.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterAt the box office, Jordan Peele is in rarified company as a director who needs only his name to draw audiences to the big screen. Even more impressive, it took only one film, 2017’s social thriller “Get Out,” to achieve that cachet.After the breakout critical and commercial success of “Get Out,” which opened to $33 million and tapped out with a mighty $176 million at the domestic box office, Peele electrified the box office again with 2019’s “Us,” which smashed expectations by debuting to $70 million and ended its North American run with an impressive $175 million.So it’s reasonable to believe the director will hit the box office trifecta with his next nightmarish vision “Nope,” which stars Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, Steven Yeun and opens in theaters on Friday.
